AFTER CIVIL WAR II, WHO WILL TAKE THE OATH?

Civil War II is far from over. No one can predict who or if there will really be a winner. But the epilogue is being written.

After the first Civil War, there was The Confession, two talks between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. One after Captain America’s surrender. The other after Cap’s death with just Tony.

In the spirit of The Confession, Marvel announced Civil War II: The Oath by Nick Spencer and Rod Reis. In the epilogue to the current superhero showdown, Captain Marvel and Iron Man turn to the friend they both trust most, Captain America.

But this isn’t the Steve Rogers they’ve known and trusted. It’s Steve Rogers, Hydra operative.

Nick Spencer is the writer responsible for the controversial change in Rogers and he will craft this important chapter following this summer’s big event.

What is the Oath? Continue reading AFTER CIVIL WAR II, WHO WILL TAKE THE OATH?

When superheroes go to war…no one is safe… not even a founding Avenger!

A major Marvel icon was killed off in Civil War II #3.

The shock and awe continued this week with a shocking death from creators Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez. How did we get here and why was this character marked for death?
