Whose side are you on? A conflict is brewing that threatens to pit friend against friend, brother against brother and all it will take is a single misstep to cost thousands their lives and ignite the fuse! As the war claims its first victims, no one is safe as teams, friendships and families begin to fall apart and the Marvel Universe super heroes go to war against each other. Review: Superb writing & engrossing storytelling - Civil War opens with a horrific event. A team of teen heroes, working on a reality tv show, go after some villains way beyond their capability. A school full of children is destroyed when the Nitro unleashes an enormous explosion. In the wake of the tragedy, the US government responds to public pressure by passing the Superhero Registration Act (SHRA) - all superpowered people must now register with, work for, and be accountable to, the Federal government. This Act divides the heroes for and against the law: Tony Stark's Iron Man in support of it, and Captain America in opposition to it. The creators of Civil War tried keep the story from being black and white. There's supposed to be no "villain," just two groups divided over opinion. However, I don't think they fully succeeded in doing so. Tony is not evil, but he is WRONG. Cap's people are technically criminals, breaking the law. But, just because a law exists does not make it right or just. The government sanctioned internment camps for Japanese citizens during WWII, and Prohibition seemed like a good idea. But, people are trading freedom for security (something the Civil War writers specifically mention in the commentary). Though Cap is on the wrong side of the law, it is Tony's pro-SHRA side that makes the morally questionable decisions - like cloning Thor and forcing/using supervillains to hunt down Cap and his colleagues. The writers tried to paint Tony as making a difficult choice because he believes in it. Instead, it was more like acting out of guilt and ego; losing the adulation of the public was as horrific for him as the innocent deaths. Tony, unlike many heroes, is shielded from the more severe consequences of the SHRA. He's still rich; he'll not be the hero on street that has to be licensed to break up a mugging. He (and Reed) will run things from inside the ivory tower; they will still exercise power. I don't think Tony came off as a villain, but I do think he came across as weak and cowardly. He's a futurist, but it is always a future he builds and controls. For Cap, popularity has never been a goal, or even a benefit. He fights for what is right, and it is wrong to force people to work for the government because of gifts/skills they possess. Should all expert marksmen have to join the military? Or geniuses forced to work in government labs? Taking away freedom may provide security, but then you have the House of M. I do feel the writers stayed true to the characters. Cap and Tony's thoughts and actions make sense, as do their allies (even to some side-switching). Further, the conclusion was the only one that could work. ***SPOILER*** Registration has to prevail, or the crossover would have been meaningless; the status quo would not have changed. Civil War is downright depressing at moments, seeing these heroes fight their friends, but it is also a superb piece of writing. I look forward to seeing how the chips fall in the Marvel Universe. The first half of the Civil War hardcover collection is the main event. The second half of the collection has bonus materials which include: an interview with the creators, some fake newspaper articles and headlines covering the Registration act, as well as the full script of Civil War. The script section was especially enlightening as it includes commentary from the creators interspersed throughout. Readers learn why certain things unfolded as they did, why some panels were drawn the way they were, and more importantly, what the creators feel Cap and Tony were thinking during the story. Overall, this event was downright amazing and I look forward to reading the tie-ins. Highly recommended! Review: This book is still my favorite Marvel "event book" of all time! - This book collects one of Marvel's most-loved, most famous, and best-selling "event" comics of all time - Civil War. In the main story, a super hero registration act is passed by the US government and all crime fighters and persons with special abilities and powers must register with the government and reveal their secret identities. Some heroes (primarily those who are already publicly known) have no issue with this and comply. Many heroes, though, are strongly opposed to this idea and the threats it would bring against their loved ones and family if their identities were public knowledge. With two coalitions of heroes forming on both sides of the issue and one forced into making the other side comply with the new law, a civil war among the heroes ensues. This book is chock-full of shocking scenes and climactic battles - all gorgeously rendered by the talented hand of Steve McNiven -one of the best pencillers in the biz. Steve gives his illustrations a very life-like and realistic appearance. His characters have a powerful presence on the page, and (I know this sounds strange, but it's true!) the clothing and costumes they wear look more credible and true-to-life than any I've seen drawn by any other comic book artist! He's very, very good at what he does, and the colorists on the book just knock it out of the park, too. This book is a fun story to read, is beautiful to look at, and has long-lasting repercussions that affect the entire Marvel universe in hige ways for the next several years that followed this event. This is an excellent book to read (a must-read for comic fans), and this particular format is the best available. The hardcover edition comes with many reprinted bonuses, including a cover gallery, sketches, a press release surrounding the event, and a script of the story. I am very happy to own this book and I never hesitate to recommend this to friends of mine that enjoy comic book stories. It is one of my all-time favorite Marvel books, and I strongly suggest you check it out some time! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,878 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #5 in Military Graphic Novels #28 in Marvel Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) #119 in Superhero Graphic Novels | ## Images ![Civil War - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91TCWHoSeYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb writing & engrossing storytelling *by J***D on January 29, 2014* Civil War opens with a horrific event.

Time will tell to see which story beats make the cut and which (The New Warriors' reality TV publicity stunt) will be ignored. As a disclaimer, I must state that I haven't been a regular reader of Marvel comics since the late 90s/early 00s so all the the shifts and changes over the last decade to the Marvel Universe are new material to me. Like the majority of the casual MCU audience, my interest in the Marvel Universe centers around the films, which present a unified, coherent collection of related characters, films and story arcs. Civil War at times felt as though it belonged to the What if? series of Marvel comics thanks to the flexibility the comic medium provides (no Marvel Universe character ever stays dead unless said character is irrelevant/obsolete), but the story arc did have lasting effects on the Marvel Universe, with the notable backtracking of the subsequent death of Steve Rogers, who reappeared alive and well so that he could lose his Super Serum, become a senior citizen and pass the mantle of Captain America to Sam Wilson. I did not read the explanation for how Steve Rogers was brought back after being assassinated; I only read Civil War as a primer for the upcoming film. But the underlying conflict of ideology between personal freedom, represented by Steve Rogers and national security, represented by Tony Stark appears to remain the central focus of Civil War, with Peter Parker in moral conflict over which side to support. The heroes representing the US Federal Government eventually resort to recruiting super villains out of a morally dubious inter dimensional super vault with Lo Jacks installed in them to keep them from running or reneging on their agreement to arrest (yes, super powered criminals tasked with the apprehension of super powered heroes turned vigilantes) the renegade heroes, removing some of the moral grey area of the original concept. Eventually, Civil War regresses into a basic two super teams conducting a slugfest brawl in public (Manhattan, NYC), right at home in any comic book, and ends with a time out called by Captain America speaking as the voice of reason when he realizes the fight over the argument for personal freedom has become nothing more than heroes fighting, resulting in massive collateral damage and distrust and fear by the ordinary people they are supposedly fighting to protect. Civil War brings up similar themes to what was previously explored both in the Marvel Comics and in Marvel films (not the MCU) with the Mutant Registration Act from the X-Men, with the key difference being that "Hero Registration" is presented as a prerequisite for being a super hero, whereas mutant registration amounts to racial profiling. In this sense, Civil War has more in common with DC's Watchmen and the Keene Act that effectively outlawed costumed adventurers/vigilantes barring those who made their identities public and became agents of the Federal Government. Well worth reading for those who like to have some background knowledge of upcoming MCU films. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/110786655-civil-war](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/110786655-civil-war) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
