Civil War: Choosing Sides #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Switching Sides" kicks off with a bold new take on a classic name: the Irredeemable Ant-Man, a hero whose motives are far from noble. Written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Phil Hester, with inks by Ande Parks, colors by Bill Crabtree, and letters by Joe Caramagna, this 2006 Marvel issue introduces a self-serving figure in the midst of a fractured superhero landscape. Leinil Francis Yu’s cover captures the tension of a hero choosing a path that defies expectations.
In "Switching Sides," Venom, freshly escaped from SHIELD custody, makes a brutal statement by eliminating his captors. When Songbird and Radioactive Man arrive with an offer—join the Thunderbolts or face imprisonment—Venom doesn’t hesitate. The choice is made, and he signs on.
In "Conscientious Objector," a new Ant-Man emerges not to save the world, but to survive it—his name may be classic, but his motives are anything but. This eight-page story in Civil War: Choosing Sides #1 explores the uneasy line between hero and self-preservation, with a protagonist who wears the mantle of a legend while chasing a very personal agenda.
In "Choosing Sides," Danny Rand—once Daredevil and now wielding the power of the Iron Fist—stands at a crossroads, joining forces with Luke Cage in Captain America’s resistance against the Superhuman Registration Act. As the nation fractures over the cost of hero accountability, Danny must confront what it truly means to fight for justice when the rules themselves are in question.
