This is one of my favorite movies from marvel and so i loved getting to read it in book form :)
Alex Irvine nails everything in this book ,he wrote it so well it was like watching the movie .

interesting reading this after having read the comic and prose version of the comic. The MCU version keeps the basic themes the same but just seems to be on a smaller scale which considering its not a massive comic arc is probably sensible. The story is good and the conflict written well between the characters.

The end leaves things wide open for future instalments.

This book has been my favorite from Alex Irvine’s Marvel series. It goes into details about the characters and where they each stood with signing the accords, and what standing up for themselves & what they believe is right looked like. It was hard at the end when Captain America and Iron Man faced off against each other but they were doing what they felt they needed to to protect their friends and the Avengers. We get introduced to this phases Spider Man, along with more Wanda and Vision.

A good adaptation of a mixed bag of the movie. I feel the same way about it as I did the movie itself.

Klappentext:
Captain America vs. Iron Man!

Nach einem Einsatz der Avengers mit fatalen Folgen beschließt die US-Regierung, die Superhelden strenger zu kontrollieren. Die Helden werden der UN unterstellt und dürfen nur noch auf Anweisung aktiv werden. Iron Man unterstützt den Vorschlag, weil er nach der gescheiterten Schöpfung des feindseligen Super-Roboters Ultron aus erster Hand erfahren musste, was passieren kann, wenn man auf eigene Faust handelt. Captain America weiß allerdings nur zu gut, wie leicht eine mächtige Organisation missbraucht werden kann und stellt sich gegen das Vorhaben. Es kommt zu einem Konflikt innerhalb des Teams und die Avengers drohen auseinanderzubrechen ...

Zum Buch:
Cover:
Gott, ich bin halt ein marvel Fan!
Jetzt habe ein geiles Buch mit 2 heißen Typen drauf!
Was will man mehr.🙈😂

Charakter:
Die Charakter sind wie im Film. Cap eher positiv und reist alle mit sich mit!
Stark, ist eher der, der das Geld hat, alle von sich überzeugen will, dennoch ein Herz hat!

Inhalt:
Ich fand den Film schon super und das Buch hat das nicht geändert. Es ist ab 10+ also eher für Kinder aber dennoch einfach mega!
Das Buch ist wie der Film aufgebaut, die Spannung und die Liebe, denn Spaß so wie die Witze hat man hier genau so wie im Film.
Nur eben in seiner fantasy!
Ich fand es super, weil ich das Gefühl hatte so die Charakter etwas besser kennenzulernen zu können, einfach weil sie in "meinem Kopf" sind.
Ich finde das Buch ist einfach toll für alle marvel Fans!
