“Civil War Part One of Seven”

Civil War #1 kicks off a seismic moment in superhero history, as the aftermath of a devastating explosion by Nitro leaves 900 dead and the nation reeling. In the wake of the tragedy, the U.S. government mandates the registration and unmasking of all superhumans, fracturing the hero community. Written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Steve McNiven, with inks by Dexter Vines and colors by Morry Hollowell, the issue sets the stage for a conflict that divides heroes down the middle—captured perfectly in McNiven’s striking cover.
