Civil War II: Gods of War – Marvel – 2016 – #1–4

📘 Series Summary

While the rest of the Marvel Universe is occupied with the ideological clash between Iron Man and Captain Marvel, the Prince of Power faces a threat that predates modern superheroics. In this 4-issue Limited Series written by Dan Abnett, Hercules discovers a catastrophic danger known as the Uprising Storm—a new race of modern gods seeking to replace the ancient ones. Because the world’s heroes are "too busy" fighting each other, Hercules is forced to look to his own past to find allies.

Illustrated by Emilio Laiso, the series follows Herc as he recruits a legendary team of mythological heavyweights, including Gilgamesh, Beowulf, Sigurd, and Theseus. Together, they form the Gods of War, a strike force dedicated to stopping a threat that the scientific and technological heroes of the modern age are blind to. This run is a high-octane blend of ancient myth and modern action, proving that even in a world of predictive justice and high-tech armor, there is still a need for old-fashioned godly strength.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • A complete 4-issue limited series that serves as an essential companion to the 2016 Civil War II event.
  • Features a unique "team-up" roster of ancient mythological heroes rarely seen together in the Marvel Universe.
  • Written by Dan Abnett, known for his masterful world-building and cosmic-scale storytelling.
  • Includes a Limited 1-for-50 Retailer Incentive variant by Mike Perkins and a Phil Noto variant (#1B).
  • Introduces the Uprising Storm, providing a distinct mythological stake amidst the broader political conflict.
  • Highlights the evolution of Hercules into a serious, modern protector of humanity.
