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 ConfessionMarvel 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?

MARVEL Kills Off AVENGER In CIVIL WAR II

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 identity of the killer may be even more shocking.

The previous chapter ended with a cliffhanger. Ulysses (the new Inhuman with visions of the future) saw the Hulk killing several of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Carol Danvers was seen approaching Dr. Bruce Banner (who is free of the Hulk thanks to Amadeus Cho.)

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?

Update: This story was posted before Marvel revealed the identity of the new star Invincible Iron Man after Civil War II.

We still stand by our speculation below since there are two Iron Man titles so read on and enjoy the theory:

The identity of Tony Stark’s real parents is a major mystery playing out in International Iron Man.

Stark’s grief over a lost friend and determination to seize control of a new Inhuman’s power is playing out in Civil War II. Both books are by Brian Michael Bendis.

Will Tony learn the identity of his parents just before getting killed off?

A new Marvel Now! promo poster fueled a fire in our brains about at least one side of Stark’s family tree. The Marvel Now! initiative will kick off new books in the aftermath of Civil War II. Tony is clearly missing but look who’s holding the iconic Iron Man helmet?

Marvel promised fans will learn the identity of Tony’s real mother in International Iron Man #5. Have we already met his biological father? Continue reading IRON MAN’S FATHER & REPLACEMENT?
