Thanks Validus, now I'm craving issue #3, as I believe that's where the actual fighting begins, although it'll probably start with skirmishes in the side-stories, namely Spiderman: The War at Home, and Wolverine: Vendetta, which are the only two i'm following besides Civil War.
Spidey better switch sides at some point, that's all I gotta say. And he better revert to his old suit.
It made the news!
NEW YORK (AFP) - For a comic book hero, it's the ultimate taboo.
In the latest edition of the Marvel comic "Civil War" on sale, Spiderman does the unthinkable and removes his Spidey mask to publicly reveal his hidden identity.
"I'm proud of who I am, and I'm here right now to prove it," the legendary webslinger tells a press conference called in New York's Times Square, before pulling off his mask and standing before the massed ranks of reporters as newspaper photographer Peter Parker.
"Any questions?" Parker asks in the final panel of the issue, amid a barrage of camera flashes.
In a statement, Marvel trumpeted the revelation as "arguably the most shocking event in comic book history."
The seven-issue "Civil War" series, launched in May, sees Marvel's writers taking on the topical issue of civil liberties.
Following a showdown between a group of superheroes and supervillains in which hundreds of innocent civilians are killed, the government passes the Super-Hero Registration Act, requiring all superheroes to reveal their identities and register as "living weapons of mass destruction."
Marvel's roster of invincible crime fighters is split into two bitterly opposed factions, with one camp -- championed by the likes of Spiderman -- in favour of the new law and the other, including Captain America and his ilk, refusing to relinquish anonymity.
"It's about which side you are on and why you think you are right," said Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada.
Ah, Captain America and the Falcon together again, the way it was meant to be.
On the page where the Young Avengers get taken into custody, the bottom panel with Daredevil, who is that guy at the computer? I don't think it's going to be just some throwaway character, Millar's been constructing everything pretty carefully so far.
Originally posted by A.JNo, no, you were right. Shooting missiles at kids breaking the law is so much worst than allowing them to keep killing 600 people on accident.
