ONE of my favourite comic book arcs over the past few years has been Marvel’s Civil War II. A follow-up from the first, since made into a film, this story once again pits superheroes against each other.
What’s of interest in the narrative is the reason that they are fighting. Given the recent horrific terrorist attacks in Britain, many will find Civil War II has a relevance today.
Warning, upcoming spoilers!
