#1 Marvel: Civil War y van... MARVEL PREPARES FOR "CIVIL WAR"
According to the solicitation copy for March's New Avengers: The Illuminati special, the Marvel Universe "is about to split down the middle", and now a preview of this month’s cover to Marvel Previews (for products shipping in March) officially gives that split a name and reveals the title of the “Whose Side Are You On” summer event/limited series by writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven to be “Civil War”. Continuing the upheaval that began in Avengers: Dissembled and then House of M, and as previously revealed stemming from the March Brian Bendis/Alex Maleev The Illuminati one-shot, the tagline and now title strongly suggest factions will develop amongst the Illuminati members – Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Namor, Black Bolt, Doctor Strange, and Charles Xavier – leading to all-out war between these factions, and likely causing or forcing many of the other heroes of the Marvel Universe to choose sides.
”The tone of the world is changing and the Illuminati can see it coming”, Joe Quesada explained to Newsarama previously, before the title of the event was revealed. “The lack of mutants has changed much of the power balance in the world and when there’s a change in balance there will be those that want to see it tip over onto one side or another.
“Because the Illuminati can sense these trends, they make several key decisions that will now begin to literally shake the foundation of the Universe. I will argue that the Marvel Universe may even become unrecognizable to some extent if the balance shifts too much and if the Illuminati are wrong. It may even get worse if they’re right!”
Quesada went on to explain that the story is about “one simple idea” ... an idea we now know to be “Civil War”…
"This idea will affect all of the Marvel Universe if not all of comics when you come right down to it because it’s going to resonate with all our lives,” Quesada added. "Of course our characters will have to contend with the same decisions, what side do they fall on and those choices will shock you! Whose side are you on? It may not be as clear-cut as you think. "The event though simple in nature will have enormous implications to the point where I believe it won’t be as insular as many comic events tend to be by their very nature. I think this is going to get quite a lot of mainstream attention because of what it’s saying about our world as well and the Marvel Universe. Like so many great stories, the metaphor is very poignant.”
Diamond’s “Splash Page” profile of the Illuminati special reveals this additional insight…
"The storyline centers on a secret past that was supposed to stay hidden from even the most trained electric eyes in the sky. Yet, as history will show us, most secrets are revealed in time. And when exposed, combined with events that have been unfolding in public view, these secrets point to new collaborations we never would have contemplated. In the case of The Illuminati, imagine a new world order! Expect such revelations in the New Avengers: The Illuminati. Witness Marvel's secret team ripped apart too soon after revealing their existence!”
Quesada also told us previously that Civil War will match or exceed House of M in terms of scale, not only in its impact on the Marvel universe story-wise, but also in the number of tie-in specials, mini-series, and aftermath projects House of M entailed.
"Yeah, this is in many ways bigger than House of M,” he said. “We’ve been building to this point for some time now. This event really involves so many facets of the Marvel Universe that I can’t see how we can do it small. New characters, old characters, deaths, resurrections.”
