Civil War II: Gods of War

In the wake of Marvel's second Civil War, Dan Abnett narrows the cosmic focus to the divine realm with this 2016 miniseries. Teaming with artists Emilio Laiso and Jay Anacleto, Abnett pits the Asgardian gods—and their mortal champion, the new female Thor—against the alien Celestials, whose judgment threatens Earth. This four-issue saga explores the clash between prophecy and free will on a godly scale, offering a standalone, action-driven corner of the larger event.
