New title in the
exciting series of reissues of Marvel classic novels.
Captain America and Iron Man: two
cornerstones of the Avengers, the world's most powerful super hero team.
They've fought side by side, stopped deadly threats to the entire planet, and
become close friends. No more.
A
tragic super human battle blows a hole straight through the centre of Stamford,
Connecticut, killing hundreds of people. The U.S. government responds swiftly,
demanding that all super heroes--and villains--unmask and register their powers.
To Tony Stark, Iron Man, it's a regrettable but necessary step. He volunteers
to oversee the registration process. But to Captain America, registration is an
unbearable assault on civil liberties. He goes rogue, forming his own band of
rebel super heroes, who vow to operate outside the law.
The result: a Civil War among the super
human community. Spider-Man's loyalties are torn, his world ripped apart by
Iron Man's new world order. The Invisible Woman, a founding member of the
Fantastic Four, finds herself increasingly estranged from her husband, Mister Fantastic.
Before the war is over, a hero will die, and the loyalties of every super human
in the Marvel Universe will be tested to the limit.
Civil War, the graphic novel, was hailed
as "a must read for Marvel fans" (Cinegeek). This new adaptation
updates and expands the original story for Marvel fans and new readers alike.
Join the greatest heroes of the Marvel Universe on an emotional, action-packed
journey, from the first colourful punch to the final, shocking twist.
