About this listen

Iron Man and Captain America are two core members of the Avengers, the world's greatest superhero team. But when a tragic battle blows a hole in the city of Stamford, killing hundreds of people, the US government demands that all superheroes unmask and register their powers. To Tony Stark - Iron Man - it's a regrettable but necessary step. To Captain America, it's an unbearable assault on civil liberties.

This GraphicAudio® Production is adapted from the graphic novel by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven.

I really enjoyed this! The dramatic performances were awesome And it all reminded me of a old radio series’. It wasn’t the same as the comic book series though. It’s very heavily abridged and they do make some major changes to the original storyline.

Awesome but not the same story

This is almost like another Avengers film. When you listen to these people and their struggles against Superhero Registration you will definitely wonder whether you are for or against registration. Both sides believe they're fighting for what's right, and both of them will suffer great losses as a result. This is a must for anyone who has ever been into Marvel Comics.

Comic Book come to life.

I loved it, it was such a great listen. The characters struggles were so authentic and real, so relatable and the action scenes were like you were there in the scenes.

Absolutely awesome! So intense and well executed!!

Civil War is very 2000s. Mark Millar, in probably Marvel's last big crossover which actually felt like it had stakes and lasting impacts, basically took his Ultimates writing style and incorporated it into the mainline Marvel Universe. It didn't always work, and seemed more about cool action movie scenes trying to be smart more than it felt like the real versions of these characters (but how else are Iron Man and Cap going to thrown down?) but it was a noble attempt. At least sometimes.

Poor New Warriors... The Fantastic For particularly didn't work. And how they gonna do Thor/Clor like that!

Even before the MCU, it was good that Marvel was focusing on its core classic characters being a big deal. The Avengers are indeed what it's all about. The X-Men for example were barely there. And yes, Spider-Man's identity reveal quickly didn't count anymore, yet that was a cool scene in of itself.

The best parts of Civil War, over in the Captain America and Spidey books, weren't even in this particular mini-series. The best parts were how the other storylines made an impact in the various titles of the time, and the Initiative thereafter.

The art by Steve McNiven is spectacular. Perfect tone for revealing a superhero setting in a serious, somewhat political gritty style. While also able to portray weird science fiction in the Negative Zones, and of course fight scenes.

Lastly, it inspired a great film. If nothing else, that makes this worth a reread. Always fun to compare. Well that makes for a legacy, even if reboots and Secret Wars always undo it all. You can always go back and have those arguments again, so have at it already: Which side were you on?

PS: Just skip Civil War II

Better than the comic, not as good as the movie
