Civil War II, Issue #6 has Spider-Man (Miles Morales) smashing Captain America (Steve Rogers) on the cover, after a vision by Ulysses in Issue #5 shows Spider-Man killing Captain America. Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) immediately tries to arrest Spider-Man, but Captain America nixes the idea, and Spider-Man goes home. Not terribly much happens in this issue, but the planning, layout, and artwork are beyond compare.
One aspect of Marvel that's hard to keep track of is who the superheroes are. There are two Captains America, two Hawkeyes, an Iron Man, and Riri Williams as Ironheart. Thor is a woman, and the old Thor goes by Odinson, but the cover of the first issue of a new series by Jason Aaron and Olivier Coipel suggests that Odinson becomes Thor again. The Thing is a Guardian of the Galaxy, but in Infamous Iron Man, which takes place after Civil War II, he's an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
At $4.99, this is a rather expensive comic, but it has a thicker cover and not quite as many advertisements as Issue #5, or at least the advertisements weren't as intrusive. Really, this is a great series to read and collect.
