Civil War Chronicles

A twelve-issue Marvel series from 2007–2008, Civil War Chronicles collects the key chapters of the publisher’s massive superhero conflict, featuring the work of writers Mark Millar, J. Michael Straczynski, and Paul Jenkins, with art by Steve McNiven, Ron Garney, and Steve Lieber. It follows the ideological clash between Captain America and Iron Man—along with allies like Reed Richards—over the Superhuman Registration Act, a law that forces costumed heroes to reveal their secret identities. This series provides a streamlined, essential look at the event that split the Marvel Universe, focusing on the personal and political fallout for Peter Parker and others caught in the crossfire.
