Civil War
Civil War: Front Line Vol. 2 | Paul Jenkins
25 posts | 10 read | 1 to read
Hot on the trail of a revelation that could explode the rift between the pro-registration and anti-registration heroes and forever change the nature of the Registration Act, the Daily Bugle's Ben Urich and Sally Floyd have the story. Can they bring the power to the people? Also, his powers are gone, he's been held culpable for the worst super-human disaster in history, and every super-villain in prison is looking to take a piece of Speedball. Will he make it out alive, and with hundreds of deaths on his conscience? Does he want to? Collects Civil War: Front Line (2006) #7-11.

Dark and sad, but gorgeous art and meaty storyline. I love seeing so many superheroes together. I didn‘t love how skimpy some of the women‘s outfits were (pretty sure Dagger‘s costume didn‘t absolutely have to tear right on her ass 🙄).

The final character we met today is Professor X!

Professor Charles Xavier is the creator of the X-Men and founder of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. His dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humanity has long been the driving force for the X-Men. An immensely powerful telepath and scientific genius, Xavier was among the world's greatest masterminds.

We also met Dr. Strange today in the #marvelread

Dr. Stephen Strange was once a gifted but egotistical surgeon who sought out the Ancient One to heal his hands after they were wounded in a car accident. Instead, the Ancient One trained him to become Master of the Mystic Arts and the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth.

Today we met Black Bolt in our #marvelread .

The king of the Inhumans and a member of the Illuminati. Black Bolt is cursed and blessed with a quasi-sonic voice. With the slightest whisper he can destroy cities with the loudest screams he can level planets.

Smarkies I had never heard of him until I read this comic. 😀 7y
maximoffs @Smarkies there's a new inhumans series coming next year!!! He'll be in it! 7y
alisiakae This is the first I heard of him, too! I then had to look up the difference between Inhumans v mutants. 7y

I'll continue to make character posts to help with the new characters you may not be familiar with for #marvelread.

Meet Namor! Namor the Sub-Mariner is the ruler of undersea Atlantis. The offspring of a sea captain and an Atlantean princess, he has been both a hero and a villain to the surface world. Namor is one of Marvel's oldest published characters with his origins in The Golden Age of Comics.

maximoffs @4thhouseontheleft let me know if you have questions! I'm happy to help! 7y
alisiakae @steverogers your previous posts on the Fantastic 4 have helped! I didn't know who Reed was at first (same with Namor). I've only grown to enjoy Marvel and D.C. Comics (and the movies) relatively recently, and have huge gaps in my knowledge of everyone and how they inter-connect! 😃 7y
maximoffs @4thhouseontheleft I'm going to make a Namor & Blue Bolt & Doctor Strange post now! From what I recall Namor isn't heavily involved in the rest of the series 7y
Smangela What a day to lose my phone 😑 slowly coming to terms that I'm going to have to pay for a new one. Downloaded litsy on my hubby's iPod to play catch up! 7y

This is Captain America, or Steve Rogers, one of the key players in the Civil War line. He was normal before given a super serum to make him the ultimate soldier to fight the Nazis in the 40's. He then ended up frozen and was rediscovered and is currently fighting crime 👊🏼.

So uh..hi everyone!

Your resident Marvel geek here. Anyone want to do a Marvel Civil War buddy read? It's 100 single issues, and there's a link I have so you can read them online if you like.

It's a good way to jump into superhero comics if you want to...anyone? maybe? 🙈

MisterWhitaker I'm in! Been meaning to read it for a while! 7y
MisterWhitaker But are you saying read like ALL of them? Even the tie in books? 7y
maximoffs @MisterWhitaker like the whole 100 issues. I found a list off of where I read my comics online for reading order. 7y

MisterWhitaker @steverogers oof! Welp let's do it! Why not 7y
Erie If it's just Millar's line than I probably shouldn't; I've never been terribly polite about it. If you're including the side series though, I might jump in for those discussions/reads! 7y
maximoffs @Erie all of it! All 100 issues amongst all characters 7y
Erie Aww brilliant, why not. I'm in; I was due a reread anyway. 7y

This is a fascinating story about WHY tony stark decided to start the registration act that would lead to the Civil War. The homage to watchman (which I hate btw) is only in the story, not in the characters which makes this graphic novel pleasant to read while also being fascinating. I thought the poetry excerpts were a nice choice. And it suggests a solution to the age old super hero comic I've always wondered about - what to do with Villains
