New York, NY—March 23rd, 2015— The war never ended. This July, the battle rages on as this deadly conflict escalates to new heights in CIVIL WAR #1 – a new Secret Wars series this July! Blockbuster creators Charles Soule (Inhuman, Death of Wolverine) & Leinil Yu (Avengers) weave a new tale of hero vs. hero – and a nation divided.
“The primary word I would use to describe this story is “big”,” says writer Charles Soule in an interview with Marvel.com. “It takes the premise of the original – a superhero-focused internal battle – and expands it out to deliver the promise of the title. In this new story, the Civil Wars has been going on for a long time, and it involves all of use – the entire country – not just the superheroes. Without a doubt this is the biggest thing I’ve ever done as far as story-scale. Lord of the Rings-style battles, almost every character you saw in the original Civil War plus more…I feel terrible for poor Leinil Yu for having to draw all this stuff…(no I don’t, it will be totally worth it.)”
