COMICS: CIVIL WAR II Teams And Premise Revealed; A Major Character WILL Die
Marvel are all about headline grabbing gimmicks these days, so it should hardly come as a surprise to learn that they're planning to have a major hero die at the hands of another good guy in the pages of Civil War II. We also have details on the premise and team leaders...
The premise of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's Civil War is being used for one of Marvel's biggest movies to date this May, but something tells me that Kevin Feige won't be adapting its upcoming sequel for the big screen! The New York Daily News has all the exclusive details, though it's essentially a dozen paragraphs of various Marvel writers talking about killing off a major superhero in the story. That's right, they're not leaving it as a surprise; the whole marketing campaign for this series is the promise of killing a character, one of the most tedious and unexciting tropes in modern day comics. Anyway, here's a synopsis for Minority Report Civil War II which reveals that Iron Man will be pitted against Captain Marvel, while the cover reveals whose side Cap will be on.
A mysterious new Marvel character comes to the attention of the world, one who has the power to calculate the outcome of future events with a high degree of accuracy. This predictive power divides the Marvel heroes on how best to capitalize on this aggregated information, with Captain Marvel leading the charge to profile future crimes and attacks before they occur, and Iron Man adopting the position that the punishment cannot come before the crime.
