From the back cover:
"The Marvel Universe is changing. In the wake of a tragedy, Capitol Hill pushes the Super Hero Registration Act, requiring all costumed heroes to avail themselves before the government. Divided, the nation's greatest superheroes must each decide how to react -- a decision that will alter the course of their lives. . ."
Review:
Civil War is a good, full-of-splash-page action storyline, with some surprising choices made by key characters (whose ranks include the Young Avengers) and impressive, real-world issues pushing their way to the forefront of comic bookdom. Thoughtful, if relatively brief (considering the complexity of the superheroes' situations) work, worth owning.
