  "account": "Marvel is finally addressing the lingering flaw of its landmark superhero crossover, Civil War, 20 years after its initial publication. In Avengers: Armageddon #3, the new crossover revisits the ideological conflict between superpowered registration and the notion of heroes operating independently. By resurrecting this long-dormant debate, Marvel aims to restore relevance to the ongoing superhero narrative within its vast universe.",
  "summary": "In both movie and comic book forms, the greatest flaw of Civil War is that the conflict eventually ended. But thanks to a pivotal new series, that problem is finally being addressed 20 years later.",
