On Free Comic Book Day, we’re going to get little teases for this — the actual “zero” issue ships later in May, with Civil War II #1 shipping in June. At least those two are confirmed. Actually, the team of Bendis and Coipel kept House of M pretty much on schedule, so this event may keep fans excited ON TIME. We already know it’s going to give DC a run for their money.
Looking at who the major players are, I’m more convinced than ever (and I could be very, very wrong) that we’ll get the tiniest sneak peak at Captain Marvel at the end of the movie Captain America: Civil War, so that fans walk out of that movie theater and into a comics shop wanting to know who she is. As I said, I could be very, very wrong — but wouldn’t it be amazing if Kevin Feige cast Carol Danvers without ANYBODY knowing about it?
