Iron Man and his POV comes across more effectively elsewhere in this crossover event.Ĭaptain America: Burbaker plays it smart by focusing his Civil War run on characters other than Captain America. In comparison, the Iron Man stuff, penned by Christos Gage, just doesn’t measure up. Brubaker was in the middle of his stellar run on Captain America and didn’t let a crossover event slow down his momentum or alter the quality of the titles he was responsible for. The problem here is that, artistically, the issues penned by Brubaker and Bendis outshine the rest. Iron Man (Tony Stark) becomes the spokesman for the pro-registration side, while Captain America (Steve Rogers) leads a group of super heroes who have gone underground. As a way to market the book in the wake of the Civil War movie, it makes sense – Captain America and Iron Man, the faces and rallying points of the event, are at polar opposites on the Superhuman Registration Act (SHRA) – anyone who has super abilities has to not only register themselves with the government, but give up their secret identities. Marvel has taken what was originally published as two separate volumes ( Civil War: Iron Man) and ( Civil War: Captain America) and smooshed them together into a single book.
