Civil War - Battleworld style

Civil War (2015) #1 - Charles Soule, Leinil Yu

I got this for free from Comixology - not as a for review thing, but as a 'promoting the Civil War freebie giveaway' thing - wondering how Battleworld would deal with this.   Actually, I got it, then went, 'doh, you just bought this whole thing,' then realized it was Soule's Battleworld version.   And I went sweet!

 

A take on this from my favorite author.   And I immediately overthought this: how would Soule make something that was so complete new?    The answer is to take a pivotal moment, and ask what it if had happened differently.   He takes the familiar scenario, and characters, and turns it into something new, something that is really his own from a certain point on.  

 

It's horrible to see what has happened, what could have happened, to my favorite characters, but it took a story I knew, and that I'd just read, and made it new and exciting. I'm going to see if the rest is on MU+, or perhaps buy the rest of the series if it isn't, and soon.   I loved this too much to put it off too long.
