Did Doctor Strange just used the Crimson bands on Storm in Civil War 2 #5?

[Tycon]

Guaranteed?

...damn...

[XPac]

as cool as it is to see storm break the Crimson bands, I have to ask why are the X men even here I think they have more important things to deal with,like there race being killed off. I would be more interesting to see the inhumans fighting each other instead

The X-Men have their own tie-in to the event.

I think Magneto wants Ulyssess, and Storms side wants to prevent a mutant/inhuman war over it.

So...Iron Man just used a tazer blast on Captain Marvel? Seriously ?

I'm guessing the continuity error is that now Strange can't use his magic anymore? Not that anyone should be surprised, given who's still writing this event .

Of course, I'm sure there are a few fans who would like to pretend Last Days of Magic didn't happen...

Meh, Cap had Cassie Lang fight with him in the first Civil War and nobody ever tried stopping Peter Parker when he first became a superhero so just let them do their thing. They put on a mask and they are guaranteed a resurrection anyways.

The difference being Cassie, along with the other Young Avengers, were being hunted down because they wouldn't sign the SRA. They didn't have a choice but to fight, and the Young Avengers by that point had a lot more experience then Riri does. She really does not have any business being in this fight.

Nobody knew how old Spider-Man was until he actually outed himself in Civil War. Unlike the Ultimate Universe, most people didn't figure out he was a kid the first time they met him.

Thats true in that X men tie in, but the main reason there fighting is that magneto is going to attack the inhumans and cause a war with them. in the main civil war book we have the all new X men team siding with stark, when there whole deal is they want to change the future, and makes more scense to have all new side with Danvers, magnetos team never appears in the main civil war book, in the main conflict the X men do not care who wins they just want Ulysses's help in saving there race. Unless Stark is going to kill him or magneto is attacking the inhumans they have no reason to be fighting in the main civil war book

[Inhuman X]

Since when did Bendis ever let continuity get in the way of what he thought was a cool story?

[XPac]

isn´t magic dead´er than uncle ben right now? Where did he get those ribbons? He probably has a sailor venus transformation pen hidden somewhere....

In all fairness I think most books are ignoring the idea that magic is dead at the moment.

But it was Nightcrawler who essentially is starting the fight by freeing Carol's prisoner, so that effectively does bring both Storm and Magneto's teams into play.

Or a "good" one.

Less Crimson BANDS and more so Crimson THREADS?

More like the Crimson Laces of Cytorrak.

Peace

[Rumble]

Given that the Crimson Bands of Cytorrak have historically been able to restrain the Hulk (that's how Dr. Strange would keep him in check when they were Defenders), these 'crimson bands' sure do seem weaker...

Maybe that's the tip off(?) that magic is not "fully" restored(?)

No-prize, or whatever? <shrug>

Maybe Storm's just been working out tho


No? Ok

I think you're forgetting that Civil War II was written way before Last Days of Magic. Jason Aaron is the one in the wrong here. Any changes conflicting with CWII were the writers' fault, not Bendis'.

Yeah, it's a little off. O_o

Because if they're not apart of it people will complain

Sorry but where is this taken out by a tazer bit on the page?

The long, side, panel to the left.

Carol looks like she's been electrocuted while Iron Man's armor is re-forming from being a weapon of some sort.
