CIVIL WAR #2 FACSIMILE EDITION

Continuing a facsimile re-presentation of the blockbuster crossover that scarred the Marvel Universe for years! After the rash actions of four young costumed vigilantes caused the destruction of the city of Stamford, Connecticut, a Superhuman Registration Act was put forward that would require all those possessing powers to register with the government. However, reaction to the move has split the world's heroes down the middle, with a pro-registration Iron Man on one side and his longtime ally Captain America in the other camp. With the Act about to become law, Cap has gone underground - but who will stand beside him? Who will join Tony Stark as the public faces of registration? And as tensions rise, what momentous, life-altering decision will Spider-Man make? It's one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all! Reprinting CIVIL WAR (2006) #2. Marvel will be reprinting the original seven issues of Civil War!
