“But, what I’ve stated in the past is that what we’re hoping for Civil War to do is to get us a little closer to that feeling that was prevalent in the early days of the Marvel Universe. Back to that feeling of uncertainty, of unease between characters. This was always an integral part of the Marvel formula that many have tried to copy over the years and that we in many ways strayed from. It’s a natural progression, these characters have been alive for forty plus years, there’s a level of familiarity that comes after all those years of publishing and that familiarity doesn’t just extend itself to the characters but to the creators and the fans as well. That’s why I love Civil War so much; it brings so much of that feeling back without being a throwback.”
Um…
Avengers 5:
And Civil War 4:
Um, er, no, Joe.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I like Civil War. But don’t try to tell me Civil War is anything like Silver Age Marvel.
