I also briefly talked about the various events leading up to Civil War (Avengers Disassembled, House of M, Secret Invasion) that fostered the environment needed for the event.

Comic Stack 06/17/15: GraphicAudio Review: Civil War by Stuart Moore

Posted on June 17, 2015 3 Comments

Civil War was one of those crossover comics that made me want to bite my tongue. I’m not a huge fan of these Marvel crossovers where they pit heroes against one another because Marvel doesn’t seem capable of finding a resolution that doesn’t involve a bigger threat causing the heroes to kiss and make up […]
