TV & Movie Reviews: Captain America: Civil War (2016)

It's time to complete the Captain America trilogy with Civil War! Chris and Dave go back to 2016 for this movie directed by the Russo brothers and starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd and Daniel Brühl.

Plot Summary:

With many people fearing the actions of superheroes, the government decides to push for the Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a hero's actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world. This escalates into an all-out war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spider-Man) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant-Man) while a new villain emerges.

This week, Tony is joined by writer, editor and co-founder of Ahoy Comics Mr. Tom Peyer.

This slope-shouldered industry veteran was a long-running writer on DC's Legion of Super-Heroes, a founding editor at their Vertigo imprint, and the proud writer of their worst-selling, award-losing series Hourman.

He has since written enough major characters to fill one of those hyper-populated super-hero posters where you don't know who to look at first.

Today he happily writes and edits AHOY Comics from his Ditkoesque office in Downtown Syracuse, NY.

Welcome to the first episode of a new show; the Comics In Motion Book Club, where a group of people get together once a month for a (somewhat) civilised discussion on a comic of the host’s choice!

In this month’s episode, Mike Burton is the host and he’s joined by Dave Horrocks & Matthew B Lloyd to discuss the first volume of the 2017 Darth Vader comic run by Charles Soule (found on Marvel Unlimited, Hoopla, Comixology & more)!

The trio discuss their general thoughts on Vader as a character, the story & art-styles within these 6 comics, how they relate to other Star Wars content, favourite elements, flaws, their interpretations & much more – it will be filled with spoilers so be sure to read the comic before-hand, or listen to episode 62 of Star Wars: Comics In Canon (where Mike goes through the narrative and confirms many of the details that connect to the wider Star Wars universe)!

All issues were written by Charles Soule, with Giuseppe Camuncoli as penciller, Cam Smith as inker and David Curiel as colour artist. Issue 1 was released June 2017, issue 6 was released October 2017 and the trade paperback collection was released December 2017.

If you enjoyed this volume of Darth Vader, Mike recommends checking out two of Soule's other works; The Rise Of Kylo Ren (4-part mini-series) & The Light Of The Jedi (Star Wars High Republic novel). Dave recommends X-Men: Magneto Testament (2008) and Matt recommends James Robinson’s Starman Run (1994-2001) and Anne Rice’s Interview With A Vampire novel.

Next month, Dave will be the host for the Art Spiegelman graphic novel; Maus (parts I & II) – so be sure to read this and send your thoughts and questions in to Comics In Motion via social media (@ComicsInMotionP) or via email ([email protected]).
