Civil War-I'm with-What The Fuck Is Going On!

oneeyedjack909

what the hell is with the civil war logos? you know like "civil war-I'm with xur and the kodan armada" and "civil war-I'm going to canada" sorry I must have missed the thread that explained this and I'd just like to be in on the joke.

It's a storyline arc that Marvel is doing right now. Every hero pretty much goes to war against another.

I don't read Marvel, so that's all I know.

There was a Marvel Comics crossover that started some time back where the various heroes started fighting amongst themselves over a superpower version of the PATRIOT Act. Marvel's website had these Civil War logos that said "I'm with Iron Man" or "I'm with Captain America" that people could download.

What you see is a parody of that that has long, long outlived its comedic value.

Marvel Comics has an event called "Civil War" which involves a superhero-registration bill being passed that requires all of the superheroes in America to work for S.H.I.E.L.D.(basically a global peacekeeping force that is all but owned by America) and reveal their secret identites to the government.

Some heroes are for it, and some are against it.

Someone, either at Marvel or at the newsarama forums, created signiture images for use there. The originals were Captain America with "Civil War. I'm against it." and Iron Man with "Civil War. I'm for it." or something.

Since then, it's been adapted to a wide variety of uses and memes.

I dunno... keep something going long enough and the comedic value seems to regrow again.

Is there really a version with Xur and the Ko-Dan armada? Because that would be really awesome.

Yeah, someone around these forums has it. I usually see it pop up at least a couple times/day.

Knuckle Dragger's D&D Forum War ones are still great though.

Yeah but the thing is that Huntress really doesn't get less hot over time. That and I can't presently fit Gimp onto my computer to make a new sig, which I've been meaning to do.

So is this shit solved or what guys?

Sarcastro

Huntress is the hottest thing since hot was invented, back in '04. Man, those were some good times.

Æthelred

Good gods. I always thought these sigs were about Iraq.
