Civil War II by
1.0
I didn't enjoy Civil War, but this is far worse. I'm not very familiar with Carol Danvers, and this series definitely does not make me interested in learning more. She's a fascist, willing to lock people up, all on the say of a teenage kid who has suddenly developed prophetic abilities that are completely untested and which he doesn't understand. And, when testing is done, and it shows that he sees possible futures, she still wants to lock people up on the basis of the vision alone, without any evidence, and even though multiple people have already died because she relied on these visions.
And then there's Tony Stark, who I have never liked and who played the fascist role in the original Civil War. This time, he's furious at Carol but it seems less out of principle than out of grief. And, instead of approaching the Inhumans and asking if they could test Ulysses' powers, he provokes an international incident by kidnapping the kid, running brain scans to which the kid didn't consent, and then causing the kid pain as part of the experiment. Hoo boy.
The greatest disappointment at the end of Civil War II is that Carol and Tony didn't kill each other, which would have put almost everyone else out of their misery.
