CIVIL WAR UNMASKED MEET & GREET WITH SERIES WRITER CHRISTOS GAGE

In 2006, the MARVEL UNIVERSE was engulfed in CIVIL WAR!

For years the political powers-that-be of the Marvel Universe had floated the idea of SUPER-HERO REGISTRATION, but after a disaster of unprecedented proportions, now the world demands it!

Leading the way for registering identities and powers of all super-heroes is
TONY STARK, IRON MAN! Organizing a resistance movement to prevent misuse, misappropriation, and leverage against super-heroes is STEVE ROGERS,
CAPTAIN AMERICA himself! Friendships were tested, teams were splintered, and things were never the same again for the characters or the readers!

Now in 2026, return to the most volatile time in the MARVEL UNIVERSE for
CIVIL WAR UNMASKED! These are all new additive stories set before, during, and after the original CIVIL WAR event that will spotlight key players like IRON MAN and CAPTAIN AMERICA, but other characters as well. 

See PETER PARKER‘s thoughts moments before outing himself as SPIDER-MAN.

What did BISHOP from the X-MEN show TONY STARK that impacted his decisions? Why did TIGRA of the AVENGERS turn double agent? 

Writer CHRISTOS GAGE and artist EDGAR SALAZAR have these answers and more!

To say that CHRISTOS GAGE is a prolific writer is an understatement.

His two earlier mini series works, DEADSHOT for DC COMICS and UNION JACK for MARVEL COMICS remain fan favorites to this day. He wrote CAPTAIN AMERICA/ IRON MAN: CASUALTIES OF WAR one shot which was a best seller during the original CIVIL WAR event and co-wrote AVENGERS INITIATIVE and wrote the entirety of the original
AVENGERS ACADEMY series.

As a regular co-writer on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN he also wrote the SPIDER-GEDDON event and the second volume of SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN. Christos also wrote the ANGEL & FAITH mini series from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and worked with longstanding G.I. JOE characters TOMAX & XAMOT in the GI JOE: COBRA mini series.
These are but a few of many, many series!

Characters Christos co-created include FINESSE, METTLE, HAZMAT, VEIL, and more from AVENGERS ACADEMY.

In addition to comics, Christos and his wife RUTH FLETCHER GAGE have written for numerous television shows such as
LAW & ORDER: SVU, HAWAII FIVE-0, and the first season of the original NETFLIX DAREDEVIL.

Christos also wrote for a variety of highly regarded video game such as AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2,
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, SPIDER-MAN from INSOMNIAC GAMES, to name a few.

And he is a longtime friend of ACME COMICS who we are excited for you to meet this SATURDAY from 12PM-5PM!
