Marvel's Civil War at 20 Month-By-Month: May 2006

Civil War #1, She-Hulk #8, Wolverine #42, Amazing Spider-Man #532 Perhaps nothing in Marvel’s Civil War has aged as poorly as the idea that the US government would be moved into action by the mass deaths of children. There’s something about this central conceit behind the entire production of Civil War, designed to be unthinkable and controversial, that feels almost quaint now. Steeped in the…

MARVEL’S CIVIL WAR AT 20: MONTH-BY-MONTH: THE ROAD TO CIVIL WAR

Civil War Month-By-Month is a deep into Marvel’s 2006 Civil War event, analyzing the main story and its various tie-ins from each individual month to examine what these books have to say about culture, politics, the comics industry, or the characters and what they represent 20 years later. This isn’t an exercise in reviewing a two-decade old story but rather a critical reappraisal of a defining…
