Civil War: Opening Shot

    (Marvel, 2006)
™ and © 2006 Marvel Characters, Inc.

When a reckless super-hero battle leads to a major disaster in the Marvel Universe, Congress enacts the Super Hero Registration Act, forcing Marvel’s champions to choose a side—pro-registration or anti-registration. Their choices lead to one of Marvel’s most ambitious crossover mini-series: Civil War.

This free sketchbook, a combination of art and text, is a giveaway released shortly before Civil War #1. Meant to whet fan appetites for the series, the book features tantalizing panels, pages, and cover art from Civil War-related comics.

Steve McNiven contributes pages from Civil War, Michael Turner provides Civil War cover sneak-peeks, and Ramon Bachs teases interior art from Civil War: Frontline. Art from individual heroes’ crossover titles are also spotlighted, including Wolverine, She-Hulk, and the Amazing Spider-Man, among others.

Whose side are you on?
