The Return of the King – Civil War II: Kingpin #1 Coming This July!

Posted on by

When hero fights hero – where does that leave the villains?  As Civil War II engulfs the Marvel Universe, criminal mastermind Wilson Fisk makes his big move! Today, Marvel is pleased to announce Civil War II: Kingpin #1 – an all-new Civil War II series launching this July. Rising comic stars Matthew Rosenberg and Ricardo Lopez Ortiz bring you a gritty street-level view of the epic upcoming event!

A new Inhuman with the ability to predict the future has helped the heroes of the Marvel Universe stop crime before it even happens. But amid this crackdown on the villains, one man has found a way to thrive. Wilson Fisk has a secret, and its helped him stay a step ahead of the good guys and keep his criminal enterprise running like clockwork. But how? What is his secret?!

Rosenberg said in interview with Marvel.com:

Wilson Fisk is an opportunist, first and foremost. Under his selfish motives, his brutal exterior, or even the façade he puts up as a pillar of his community, he is a man who sees ways to benefit himself and he takes them.

The new Civil War will provide him a unique opportunity. He is a Civil War profiteer.

What secret is Fisk keeping that’s kept his house of cards from tumbling down? More importantly – what will happen when that secret gets out?

Battle Lines Are Drawn in Civil War II: Choosing Sides #1!

Posted on by

If you knew something bad was about to happen, would you stop it? How far would you go to prevent an uncertain future? The line in the sand has been drawn, and everyone must choose – do you stand with Iron Man, or with Captain Marvel? That question will be answered this June as heroes and villains across the Marvel Universe make their decision in Civil War II: Choosing Sides #1 – debuting this June!

Featuring fan-favorite characters and top-tier creators, each issue of Civil War II: Choosing Sides contains three all-new stories detailing the conflict taking place throughout the Marvel Universe. First, Declan Shalvey pulls double duty as he writes and illustrates a Nick Fury story running through all 6 issues of Civil War II: Choosing Sides. Which side of the issue will Marvel’s premier super-spy fall on? Plus, Brandon Easton and Goran Sudzuka bring you a tale of Night Thrasher and Chad Bowers, Chris Sims and Leonardo Romero present the return of Damage Control!

Chad Bowers said to Marvel.com:

We all grew up having those ‘Who’d win in a fight?’ arguments right? I think what [this story does] is takes that same idea and ages it up a bit. It grounds the conflict in something ethical, and relatable. It reminds us that even though these guys are on the same teams, and they dress the same, they’re still individuals. It’s really Marvel storytelling at its best, because of how human it feels.

But that’s not all! Future issues of Civil War II: Choosing Sides will feature Jessica Jones, Power Pack, the Punisher, War Machine and more! Those are just a taste of the characters whose lives are about to change. Will the fight to protect the future? Or battle to change tomorrow? Find out this June as Nick Fury, Damage Control and Night Thrasher choose their sides!
