It ’s been a ten since Tony Stark and Steve Rogers came to gust over the struggle between freedom and security in the original Civil War comical series , but Marvel ’s continuation , due out this May , takes place in a very dissimilar time and place for Marvel ’s heroes . Here ’s what you need to know .

It Starts With a Bang

Almost literally . polite War II quetch off in a special Free Comic Book Day waiver that tell apart its “ own tale ” rather than playact as a preview transcript of a later way out , concord to Brevoort , and it adjust up a vast invasion that opens the serial publication . This event requires the heroes of Marvel ’s universe — whether that ’s Tony and his All - raw , All - unlike Avengers , or Captain Marvel and her Alpha Flight team — to band together and keep the world . Bendis would n’t identify the cosmic villain that kick back off the event , but described it as the variety of climactic event that shapes the relief of Civil War going forward .

An Inhuman Sits at the Heart of the Conflict

One thing that will stomach out from this opening invasion — or one person , rather — is a new Inhuman role , who has the power to predict future events with an uncanny truth . Named Ulysses , the unseasoned man seemingly only recently awakened his Inhuman exponent before the result of Civil War II . “ He was on a pretty traditional route on America , and something happened that completely derailed his life — and that ’s becoming an Inhuman . … This is someone who had a specific view of the superhero community , and then is push up right in the center of it in a very controversial and dividing agency , ” Bendis added .

And we know just how dividing that is alread ; Ulysses ’ second-sighted power splits the get together Italian sandwich on just how they should be used . Carol Danvers think they should be exploited so heroes can barricade crimes and life - threaten event before they even happen , but Tony Stark — who ’s grown a lot since his unpopular position about superhero regularization in the original Civil War — believes that no one has the right wing to pursue guiltless mass for a criminal act they ’ll supposedly commit in the future . “ We were let the cat out of the bag about things that were going on in the mankind today that are similarly part to our culture , which is very different from where we were 10 years ago with the original Civil War , ” Bendis continued .

The Teams Aren’t Definitive

Marvelrecently revealedtwo pieces of art , covers for the Civil War II : select Sides miniseries , that ostensibly revealed at least some of the heroes that fall onto either Team Tony or Team Carol .

Suffice to say , some fans were particularly confused about certain grapheme ’s alliance — like Steve Rogers and She - Hulk being on a side that push pre - penalization — but Brevoort was prompt to observe that the art “ [ was n’t ] intend to be definitive ” , but instead “ intended to encapsulate the whole of the Marvel Universe , ” before noting that characters will change side back and forth over the form of the series , just as role did in the original Civil War .

Later on , Bendis joked that at a author ’s retreat for the effect , many writers wanted their respective quality to be the Peter Parker of Civil War II . wanderer - Man magnificently started out in that series by being on Iron Man ’s pro - registration side , unmasking himself in the process , before switching to Captain America ’s squad .

Not Every Marvel Comic Series Will Be Involved

The original Civil War was an all - capsulise event for Marvel . Only a handful of serial were uninvolved in the main fib , to the point that when the independent serial ’ issue were delayed to accommodate creative person Steve McNiven ’s docket , itsent a ruinous ripple through the rest of the company output , detain swathes of series as well to obviate spoilers .

That should hopefully not bethe case with Civil War II . Although the series will havea plethora of tie - in issues from current ongoing series as well as its own spinoff miniseriesto come with the main comedian , not every title on Marvel ’s slate will be involved . “ This is an opt - in outcome , ” Axel Alonso say press . “ There are books like Black Panther — that account will proceed unabated . However , another new launching , Power Man and Iron Fist , will be tying - in . They ’ve looked at the tale and they ’ve found an angle . ” Other titles mentioned as not presently having any Civil War II stories planned included Howard the Duck and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl , but do to say , Civil War II does n’t sound as consuming as its forerunner so far .

The Key Debate Will Evolve Beyond Its Familiar Starting Point

With Captain America : Civil War little more than a calendar month out from hitting theatre , it ’s easy to look at Civil War II and be a little misanthropical at its timing — and we ’ve joked in the past about how the event ’s premisesounds more than a fiddling like the disputation that sat at the spirit of Steven Spielberg ’s sci - fi action picture show , Minority Report . But Marvel were keen to stress that while at first the event might sound more than a little familiar , it ’s going to grow into its own thing , as a product of being made in a world that ’s changed radically since the original Civil War came out .

“ We [ are ] talking about things that were going on in the world today that are similarly dividing to our finish , which is very dissimilar from where we were 10 year ago with the original Civil War Bendis said about the sequel ’s themes . Tom Brevoort compare it to Batman v Superman and Captain America : Civil War having similar themes ( heroes fighting each other ) , but being very different takes on those themes . “ There ’s a surface similarity at the kickoff , and as the story keep on , you ’ll see it ’s very , very different . ”
