About This Book:

Enough is enough! The tension between the X-Men, the 198 and the O*N*E* has finally reached a breaking point. As CIVIL WAR rips apart the Marvel Universe, the X-Men also find themselves crumbling from the inside out. Will they admit defeat, or will they finally start to fight back?

CIVIL WAR: X-MEN #1:
22 pages + cover • September 2006

The 198 begin to riot, and are sprung from the camp at the X-Mansion to a base in New Mexico by Domino and Shatterstar. The X-Men let them escape, which upsets Bishop who believes they ought to be doing a better job of policing their own in the face of mounting pressure on all super-humans during the Civil War. Iron Man anoints Bishop to be leader of a small task force that is meant to draw in the 198; joining him are Sabra and Micromax. General Lazer doesn't like this threat to his power. The original X-Men, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast and Angel, suit up to defend the 198 against Bishop and the Sentinels.

CIVIL WAR: X-MEN #2:
22 pages + cover • October 2006

Captain America directs the X-Men to the location of the base in New Mexico so they can find the 198. Cap grouses about their neutral stance in the Civil War. The X-Men escape from the pursuit of Sentinels. Meanwhile, the 198 get comfortable in the massive underground base. Lazer takes control of Johnny Dee's powers. The President offers amnesty to the 198 if they'll return safely to the camp. Just as they appear ready to accept those terms, Lazer mind-controls Cyclops through Johnny Dee's powers to blast Bishop.

CIVIL WAR: X-MEN #3:
21 pages + cover • November 2006

Bishop's powers become overloaded with Scott's optic blast, and Sabra and Micromax take on the X-Men. Lorelei figures out that Johnny Dee is behind Scott's optic blast, but she also becomes a victim of Johnny Dee. Val Cooper negotiates a mutant amnesty with the President, but Lazer threatens to scuttle her deal. Val and Reyes discover what Lazer is up to. Shatterstar slices up Micromax in battle, and in his last act of treachery, Lazer initiates a sequence to explode WMD that is stored at the base the 198 inhabit.

CIVIL WAR: X-MEN #4:
22 pages + cover • December 2006

Bishop and the X-Men try to break into the base, but only Lazer can get them access. Val tortures Lazer to get the access code. Johnny Dee controls Lazer and snaps his neck. Cyclops and Bishop, joined by Iron Man and Ms. Marvel, try to get into the base and finally rescue the 198. The President reevaluates the 198 and ONE mission, and Val invites Bishop to join her ONE task force.
