CIVIL WAR

Hey it's me again ,the guy who has nothing interesting to say that much and who always say "hey it's me again".  Over the weekend,i got myself to read the civil war comics just to see what all the fuss was all about ; don't get me wrong i know what civil war is all about but i just wanted to know more about it like who died and who killed who, who crossed the line and all that sentimental-ish . So i got myself down not only to watch the movie but to read about the comic as well.  As you all know am gonna start by promising not to give spoilers from the comic for like a second then still go ahead and give you the spoilers i promised not to give so get ready and BEGIN 

   The comic was written and drawn in the year 2006 by the team of Mark Millar,Steve Mcniven,Dexter Vines and Morry Hollowell. The comic showed the world of Marvel Universe shaken to it's core ,heroes fighting heroes ,villains on vacation ,and all this because of different views and perspective in which in their own way they were both right. Of course we all know the reason for their war in the movie but not everyone knows what brought about the war in the comic version. The war  happened  because of some tragedy that was caused by some new heroes who wanted to get fame for their reality Tv show and decided to fight villains , who were  so out of their league which resulted to one of the villains(Nitro) exploding himself as a bomb ,killing thousands of civilians mostly children, which resulted to casualties. The reckless act of the new heroes, causing the death of thousands was something the mass could not take lightly especially when children were involved. This made the government ask the heroes to register, to act under the government so as to minimize casualties . Iron Man agreed due to him feeling guilty for the death of  thousands and having an encounter with one of the victims mother didn't help either. Captain America on the other hand refused to sign up as he saw it as another political play by the upper class individuals in which super heroes will be used as secret agents or some kind of police ,meaning heroes who voluntarily save lives will now have to choose which life to save or arrest just because of an order from above. This saw to Captain America being the bad guy and chased around the city even when he was trying to save lives he is being pursued. Some people agreed with Cap on his ideas, so they joined Team Blue and team blue players consists of heroes like 

• Falcon.
• Daredevil.
• Hercules.
• Goliath.
• Luke cage.
• Cloak.
• Human torch.
• Sue Richards aka Invisible woman of fantastic four.
• Black Panther.
• Patriot.
• Hulking of young avengers.
• The Punisher.

While the team of Iron Man consists of:

• Mr fantastic
• The Thing
• Hank pym
• She-Hulk
• Wasp
• Spiderman
• Thor(clone)

Iron Man team also included bad guys in their list against the fight with Captain America.  At first things seems like just another argument that will entirely die down. All that changed when a hero died (not gonna mention ) and it dawned on both side  that this was blowing out of proportion ,some who where scared for their lives switched side and some just didn't even choose a side at all like Doctor Strange . The death of the hero brought uncertainty,lies,betrayal and more argument on who was right and who was wrong on both side. Too make matter worse Cap team was still pursued by S.H.I.E.L.D and Iron Man, and when caught they were sent to a custom made prison  for people with powers who didn't register. It was hell for Captain America as he didn't have enough resources as Tony Stark did to turn the tide in his favor. While contemplating on what to do in order to win the war with Daredevil ,Luke Cage and the rest of the team ,The Punisher shows up with an unconscious Spiderman on his hand .

   

Apparently Spiderman ideas also changed when he saw the hero die and he knew that he was fighting for the wrong side, especially when Tony stark was giving flimsy excuse of what actually happened and still pursuing his dreams of all heroes being registered under the law. He decided to leave Iron man team, but it wasn't that easy as Spiderman leaving Iron team means he is now a fugitive of the law making him been hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D and by S.H.E.I.L.D , i mean a group of villains recruited to work for Iron Man. Spiderman was almost dead if not for Punisher that put bullet holes in his pursuer head(won't also mention the villain name ). This resulted to Cap now having information about The Avengers Tower and where the caught heroes were kept as prisoner thanks to Spiderman and The Punisher.  Also his skills as a special forces soldier came in handy in infiltrating The Tower. This action bought The punisher a time of praise and adoration from the main man himself Captain America until The punisher being who he is shot two more Villians that wanted to join Captain America side. This pissed Captain America so much that he beat The Punisher to a pulp and kicked him out of the team

   

The last issue of this comic was something ,both teams finally got to fight out their belief and the mastermind that was behind all the problems used this opportunity to attack the good guys on both sides and caused more bloodshed. At a point Mr Fantastic was almost killed by a bad guy that was in his team . The war to say was epic ,Captain America was so pissed of at Iron man so much that he gave Tony a beating he will never forget easily ,he was even at the brink of bashing Tony head with his shield before being held by civilians who saw that this was turning into a war that will claim millions of lives. Captain still beating Iron man while resisting the civilians hold on him, finally got to his sense when he saw what had happened all over the place ,the destruction,the lives lost including some heroes and the people who were injured ,it was devastating to him. He was so ashamed of his self that he surrendered willingly to the Authorities for persecution and ordered his team to stand down and face justice .It was indeed a war ,that cost a lot of lives.    

The entire comic of civil war was interesting and always wanting you to find out  more or what happened next ! Reading the comic will  make you understand the movie a little bit more than you already do. There are other parts or types of the civil war comic , one focus on the future after the war that happened and how it affected those who survived the war. And there is one about Spiderman helping a new hero being accepted into the hero community , another about the Kingpin return but this one i prefer you read .
                                         

  Till next time Stay safe
