An Inhuman with the ability to predict the future has helped the heroes of the Marvel Universe clamp down on crime before it can even happen.

But what's his secret?! It's a gritty, street-level view of CIVIL WAR II starring the Kingpin in a world without crime!

"I haven’t always been a writer. My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. I just stopped. I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement.
I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in."

The Kingpin has returned to New York and intends on reclaiming his empire.
He also appears to have a secret that protects him from the heroes future predicting threat.
Civil War II: Kingpin #1 was just OK. It provided a look into life after Ulysses where villains are arrested before committing crimes, but Fisk isn't concerned. Nothing particularly interesting happened and the artwork is uninspired in my opinion. I think I'll give this series a read at the library or Marvel Unlimited when it's available at one of those locations.

I like how relateable/respectable Kingpin is. This comic sits in the crowd of my favourite crime stories and there is a great relationship between the art and the tone the story is projecting. The story is patient, but violent. Sometimes peaceful, and surprising. I'm sad it took me this long to pick it up. Only would ask the creators to make scene/time changes more apparent. The plot sometimes flashes back without warning.

Ugh. I'm so uninterested in Civil War II. The only reason I have this or any others is because of my damned obsession with Skottie Young variant covers. As if stealing the plot from Minority Report wasn't enough, OF COURSE the Kingpin has a guy who is immune from Ulysses' future-seeing powers. OF COURSE. This is the beginning of the end of my relationship with Marvel, methinks.
