Civil War [Marvel Premier Collection]

Marvel’s best-selling graphic novel of all time debuts in the Premier Collection!

Features an exclusive foreword by Captain America: Civil War Executive Producer Nate Moore.

Includes a brand-new introduction by Civil War illustrator Steve McNiven.

Presented in a newly designed book-format edition.

Civil War by Mark Millar (Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Kick-Ass) and Steve McNiven (Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Death of Wolverine) delivers a gripping, morally complex showdown that reshaped the Marvel Universe for years and served as the inspiration for the 2016 blockbuster film Captain America: Civil War.

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

As Avengers allies Captain America and Iron Man clash, it’s time to choose: Whose side are you on? In the wake of a superhuman tragedy, the proposed Superhuman Registration Act requires all costumed heroes to unmask themselves before the government.

Divided, the nation’s greatest champions each must decide how to react -- a choice that will alter the course of their lives forever. Captain America rejects the Act and goes underground, while Iron Man steps up to spearhead the registration effort -- and Marvel’s heroes split right down the middle!

The shocking crossover that rewrites the rules, CIVIL WAR stars Spider-Man, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the entirety of the Marvel pantheon.

Mark Millar is the New York Times best-selling writer of Wanted, the Kick-Ass series, The Secret Service, Jupiter’s Legacy, Nemesis, Superior, Supercrooks, American Jesus, MPH and Starlight. Wanted, Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2 and The Secret Service (as Kingsman: The Secret Service) have been adapted into feature films. His DC Comics work includes the seminal Superman: Red Son. At Marvel Comics, he has written The Ultimates, selected by Time magazine as the comic book of the decade; the acclaimed Wolverine saga ＂Old Man Logan;＂ and Civil War, the industry’s biggest-selling series in almost two decades. Millar has served as producer and executive producer on previous adaptations of his works and, following the purchase of his Millarworld comic line by Netflix in 2017, remains the company’s president. For his services to film and literature, he received the prestigious honor of being made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by the Queen in 2013.

Artist Steve McNiven parlayed a chance trip to San Diego Comic-Con into a position at CrossGen Comics, where he quickly earned a regular assignment on Meridian. When CrossGen ceased publishing, McNiven moved on to Marvel Knights 4 with writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Next, he joined Warren Ellis on Ultimate Secret. In 2006, McNiven and Mark Millar shattered the Marvel Universe’s status quo in Civil War. His next assignments included Brian Michael Bendis’ New Avengers and the initial story arc of Amazing Spider-Man’s ＂Brand New Day＂ era. McNiven and Millar reteamed for ＂Old Man Logan＂ in Wolverine and the creator-owned Nemesis, published under the Marvel Icon imprint. With Ed Brubaker, McNiven helped relaunch Captain America; his later Marvel work includes Guardians of the Galaxy with Bendis and Uncanny Avengers with Rick Remender. McNiven cemented his reputation as one of the all-time great Wolverine artists on the climactic series Death of Wolverine.
