Civil War II #3 and #4



Civil War II, Issue #3 features a death of a famous meta-human; I'll tell you that much.  He gets killed by... well, I won't tell you that, and that person goes on trial for murder.  Of course, Civil War II starts with the discovery of an Inhuman who has visions of the future.  In Issue #1, someone dies.  In Issue #3, a major character in the Marvel universe gets killed by another major character.  Issue #4 resolves the case against the major character who kills the other major character.  Dang, that sounds awkward.  Celebrity trials often end the same way.  O.J. Simpson walked once but ended up in jail for life.  What happens in this case?  And by the end of this issue, Civil War II has begun.

This is fun stuff.  I like seeing Carol Danvers in a starring role; I bought three of the Captain America trade paperbacks starring her a year ago and enjoyed them.  She has shorter hair than she does in those comics, and she appears less feminine.  If I had any complaint, it would be that the artwork makes her look like she's had major botox or something.  She's constantly scowling, but she doesn't have a line on her face.  Ah, maybe I don't remember what it's like to be young.
