Marvel returns to the bitter hero vs. hero fight that inspired the next Captain America movie.

In Secret Wars the Marvel Universe is destroyed and a new Battleworld emerges made of Warzones inspired by the publisher’s greatest epics.

Marvel announced a new Civil War by Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine, Inhuman) and Leinil Francis Yu (Secret Invasion) via CNN.
