2016: PANINI LAUNCH NEW MARVEL CIVIL WAR COMIC IN THE UK

From - ahem - yesterday: spotted in WH SMITH, the first issue of Panini's new CIVIL WAR Collectors Edition format mag.

Top marks to the publisher for investing in the launch (pegged to a certain movie don't you know) by buying space in one of those shelf boxes.

The contents itself are another outing for the oft-reprinted Marvel event of a few years back. The core series wasn't a long-runner but the sheer number of crossovers and spin-off could fuel this launch for years.

In addition to the opening salvo of strips, there were also some feature pages tucked in the back culled from the old in-house hype mag (and successor to MARVEL AGE) MARVEL SPOTLIGHT.

I grabbed my copy but haven't had a chance to look at it in detail yet.
