Civil War II #6 – It's Time To Make Carol Feel Better. And How Civil Warry Are Your Comics Today? (SPOILERS)

Civil War II #6 is published today from Marvel Comics by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez, as are a whole host of Civil War II crossovers. Some are actually about Civil War II, some are not, and are just using the crossover on the cover as a failed attempt to increase their readership. Well, it worked in Marvel's first Civil War. Just not this time.

But if you are wanting to find the comics that matter to Civil War II – or avoid them, this guide may help, with a level of Civil Warriness measured by the amount of Bruce Banner heads used.

From Civil War II #6, which you can take as read as having a full ten Banner heads, it's time for people to switch sides, firstly Captain America…

Then Black Panther makes a decision…

That's right! Captain America! You know the guy who has been rewritten to have always been an agent of Hydra! Although looking at today's Marvel Previews #2 catalogue…

…maybe some Marvel people might like it that way. So poor Carol, she needs people to make her feel better. First the sisterhood in Civil War II #6…

…and Peter Quill in Civil War II #6.

…though I'd be careful of Kitty Pryde there. And, from the same writer, today's Guardians Of The Galaxy #13 saying exactly the same thing.

So, you know. She's getting the love. And Guardians is getting lots of Banner heads.

So as Panther is getting the love from the brotherhood in Civil War II…

The Ultimates #12 finishes its run before a relaunch with a reference directly to those very events looking at the aftermath of the yet-to-be-concluded series.

And, again, predicting the death or disappearance of Tony Stark, as the Ultimates are disbanded….

 But there's even people there who make her feel better. kinda.

Apologies always feel good. Sorry.

See, it works.

Today's Agents Of SHIELD #10 has less to do with Civil War II than the TV show had to with the film Captain America: Civil War, and the writers of that only had the trailer to work from. In fact this is the only mention in the whole comic, despite a very prominent logo.

But it has more to do with Civil War II than, say. Today's New Avengers #17 which despite a very prominent cover, doesn't mention it at all.

And in fact that has nothing to do with Civil War II at all. It may however be the most important Marvel continuity comic since the end of Secret Wars but we'll get to that in another article…

All-New All-Different Thor #15 has Thor seeking advice regarding Civil War II and gets an analogous story from years past. Basically for its final issue it becomes The All-Old All-The Same Avengers.

So there is thematic Civil Warriness at least.

But if you want the All-New crew, you need to check back to Civil War II #6.

While The Totally Awesome Hulk #11 continues it's big Panther/Hulk fight ripped straight out of earlier issues of Civil War II, with a Panther still on the side of Captain Marvel. 

 

Thankfully Civil War II is late so this seems less so.In another world, the series would have been over by now.

Although, with Occupy Avengers, in Marvel Previews, it does seem like no one is leaving Hawkeye alone…
