Marvel Comics CIVIL WAR

Could this be the best comic series ever? I have been reading comics for thirty years and this possible could be the best thing I have ever read. I was talking to Bill, the owner of my local comic shop this past week, and we agreed that when we were kids, we would have never would have gotten this one. The political overtones and the similarities this series is taking with current political events in the US are cool.

The whole series revolves around a "registration act" that all superheros must register in order to keep the country safe. As the title implies, some agree, some do not. This starts tearing the superhero community apart. Old friends are now enemy's, families split, and villains now become hero's. Sound familiar?

It is funny how comics, if you look at the history of them and the times they are published, continue to subtlely comment on the nature of the country, very specifically, I might add. They do this without much restraint and sometimes very much in your face. Check this series out and go to your local comic shop.
