COMICS: Marvel Planning CIVIL WAR II For Spring 2016; Check Out The First Teaser Image
Well, this was inevitable really! With Captain America: Civil War set to be released next May, a leaked teaser has surfaced confirming that a sequel is on the way! Hit the jump for details and to see Iron Man battling out with Captain America (but not the one you think).
Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's Civil War was such a success back in 2006 that it's no doubt responsible for the yearly line wide events which have so far followed such as Secret Invasion, Avengers Vs. X-Men, and the currently ongoing Secret Wars. The fact that it's taken this long for a Civil War sequel is surprising in itself, but next year is obviously the perfect time thanks to the release of Captain America: Civil War. Well, as you can see, the beans appear to have been inadvertently spilled too soon by Marvel as a postcard has been sent out to retailers seemingly announcing the follow-up (a press release making it 100% official can't be far away).
We have no idea about the creative team at this stage, but the image below was drawn by McNiven, so he at least may be returning. Millar on the other hand is likely far too busy with his own creator owned projects. Once again, Iron Man and Captain America look set to come to blows, but that's the Falcon still wearing the suit, so how Steve Rogers will factor into this story remains to be seen (unfortunately, he's currently an old man, so may not see to much action). We also don't know what leads to this renewed conflict - the return of the Superhuman Registration Act perhaps? - but feel free to weigh in with your thoughts and theories on this news in the comments!
