Marvel has started to tease fans that there could be another Civil War among its heroes in the near future.
The news that has been heard is that Marvel has been sending out peculiar postcards to comic book retailers, such as Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, squaring off against the current Captain America, Sam Wilson aka The Falcon. While this picture may not mean much, the back of the post card has the Roman numeral "II" in the same script as the original "Civil War" title.
Comic book retailer Ryan Higgins posted on his Twitter account a photo of the front and back of the postcard, showing clearly the Roman numerals as well as a date: Spring 2016. This would mean that if Marvel does indeed do a second "Civil War" event, then it would start and perhaps finish around the time of "Captain America: Civil War", which has a scheduled May 6, 2016 release date.
According to Comic Book Resources, Marvel did not have any comments about the postcard that was sent out. While not unusual, a certain amount of mystery surrounds the postcard. It is not uncommon that Marvel would push a comic that would have a connection to one of its movies. "Rage of Ultron" came out a few months before "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron."
However, the bigger question is, should Marvel do another Civil War event? Readers of the first event should remember how the "Civil War" rocked the Marvel comic book universe. Heroes were divided, friends became enemies, and in the case of the Fantastic Four, families were split apart.
Some fans may not take well to another big event like this as the Marvel comic universe is still getting over the "Secret Wars" event. Moreover, fans might not believe that the fight between Iron Man and the current Captain America will be as epic as Tony Stark versus Steve Rogers since Sam Wilson's reception as Captain America has been lukewarm at best.
With a lot of speculation and little information from Marvel, fans are hoping that more information will be given out during the upcoming New York City Comic Con. Until then, readers will just have to wait and see what Marvel has cooked up for them.
