Civil War II – Marvel Comics – 2016–2017 – #0–8

📘 Series Summary

Spanning from mid-2016 into early 2017, Civil War II is a 9-issue Limited Series that serves as a landmark chapter in modern Marvel history. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by David Marquez, the series centers on the moral and tactical fallout following the emergence of Ulysses Cain, a new Inhuman with the ability to perceive "predictive visions" of the future. This catalyst splits the superhero community into two warring philosophies: Captain Marvel leads the charge for "Predictive Justice" to stop crimes before they happen, while Iron Man fights to protect the sanctity of the timeline and free will, arguing that the future is not a predetermined certainty.

The conflict results in devastating losses, including the deaths of War Machine and Bruce Banner, and fundamentally alters the path of characters like Miles Morales and the Inhumans. The series concluded in early 2017, leaving Tony Stark in a stasis-induced coma and Carol Danvers as the most powerful figure in the American defense and superhero community. This run is essential for understanding the transition into the Secret Empire era and the launch of Champions.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • A complete 9-issue limited series that defined the status quo of the Marvel Universe for 2016 and 2017.
  • Features David Marquez's high-detail art, providing some of the most iconic imagery of the decade.
  • The death of Bruce Banner (#3), which launched the Hulk mythos in an entirely new direction.
  • Explores the philosophical divide between deterministic safety and the risk of freedom.
  • Introduces Ulysses Cain, a character whose influence bridged the Avengers, Ultimates, and Inhuman titles.
  • Directly sets the stage for the Civil War II: The Oath one-shot and the eventual Secret Empire.
