Civil War and Peace

Earlier this year, Marvel Comic began a highly anticipated event entitled "Civil War: Whose Side Are You On". It all began when several glory seeking heroes mistakenly get a few hundred people, the bulk of them children, killed while trying to apprehend some fugitive supervillains. This leads to public outcry for more accountability of superhumans, superheroes in general. Iron Man leads the pro-registration group which wants all superhumans to register with the government. Captain America believes that, yes there should be accountability, but thinks the government is going at it the wrong way. He leads a band of anti-registration individuals who feel the government has gone too far. The storyline runs, not only in it's own series, but throughout several other comics because the heart of the story touches almost everyone in the Marvel Universe. One hero who it has touched the most is Spider-Man. Falling on the side of Iron Man, Spidey does something no one would ever think he would do. He reveals his secret identity to the world. To prevent spoiling it for anyone, I’m not going to go into any specific storyline of the Civil War event. There are many surprising and life altering events throughout the series but the one question remains: Who will win? Another question you got ask yourself: Whose side are you on?
