Comics….Raising our social conscience?

I’m talking about this issue today about comics due to a new storyline running thru the Marvel line of comics.

What happens when a comic book address real world social issues? Heck, you get a hell of a read!

The storyline Civil War is probably one of th most hard hitting and socially thought provoking books to hit the comic shelves in some time.

Dealing with the issue of Superhero Registration and the heros splitting on whether to register or not, is just like looking at real world politics.

The storyline pits , and for all intents and purposes ( at least for now ) splits the heroes of the Marvelverse into two groups:

a) Tony Stark- Iron Man

Stark is all for the registration act and gathers a like minded group heroes with his mind set together.

b) Steve Rogers- Captain America

Cap is totally against the act and gathers his own stable of heroes.

And so the Marvelverse of heroes splits down the middle…….
