The Marvel universe stands divided as the conflict between Captain Marvel and Iron Man reaches a crescendo with both sides coming to blows on and off over the fate of the Ulysses. The conflict has already claimed the lives of War Machine and Bruce Banner and Marvel is teasing an ending that changes the status quo once more. Be ready for the next chapter of what has already proven to be a wild ride. Get a sneak peek at the covers and artwork you can expect when Civil War II #5 hits store shelves on September 21st.
My Take: While Civil War II has lead to some shocking moments I am curious to see how much more Bendis has in the tank for the Marvel Universe. The death of War Machine was pretty crazy and I never thought Banner would get taken out much less by a teammate who has fought alongside him on more than one occasion. The fallout of Banner’s death has fans waiting to see how the gamma-powered heroes respond with the “Totally Awesome” Hulk being front and center. I am not sure Civil War II will surpass the first Civil War series but they have had not shortage of memorable moments that for damn sure.
