CIVIL WAR (2006-2007)

Tony Stark has always been a futurist. A man savvy businessman known for his technological advancements, including the creation of the Iron Man suit. It stands to reason that it's not just changing technology on his mind. When he sees a change in the attitude towards costumed heroes, he knows change is coming. And he know there'll come disagreements. 

Captain America is a traditionalist, believing in the underlying principles of what his country should be capable of. He and Tony Stark haven't always seen eye-to-eye but, despite being fellow Avengers, their friendship is about to be tested now more than ever before.

The New Warriors recently became the stars of their own reality TV series, following their role as crime-fighters in the name of entertainment. How could their efforts to attain fame possibly lead to one of the most impactful events in the history of the Marvel Universe?

This entry also includes the SPIDER-MAN UNMASKED and CASUALTIES OF WAR tie-ins as they're essentially a part of CIVIL WAR, anyway. This is the complete event in chronological order.

Events that lead the characters towards the Civil War storyline:

• SECRET WAR - Maria Hill becomes Director of SHIELD
• BREAKOUT - The formation of the current Avengers line-up
• HOUSE of M - The mutant population is dramatically reduced
• THE ROAD TO CIVIL WAR - Fall of the Illuminati

MCG Notes:

• Only want to read the essentials? Key issues are marked with an asterisk *. Read the story in its entirety, if you like. Or just read the main series and add the issues featuring the characters who interest you the most.
• I've included all six 'Moon Knight' tie-ins under the 'Casualties of War' banner as that was the original intention. It was only lateness that led to them being branded as tie-ins to 'The Initiative', but I'll also include issues 11-12 in the entry for The Initiative.

Meanwhile, Captain America refuses to cooperate with Maria Hill's orders to take down heroes who refuse to unmask and fights his way through 'Cape-Killer' SHIELD agents to escape the Helicarrier and go underground.
