Marvel has revealed new covers for Civil War II #0 and their two Free Comic Book Day specials. If these covers are to be believed, a certain Mad Titan could have a prominent role to play in Marvel's upcoming crossover event.

Civil War II #0 is a prologue to the core mini-series and will be written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Olivier Coipel. Check out the cover below:Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso spoke to The Washington Post about Civil War II and Captain Marvel's prominent role. “There’s a reason that Carol is a part of the opposition forces. It not only speaks to her character, but her new role in the Marvel universe,” said Alonso. “She’s the leader of Alpha Flight, which is Earth’s first line of defense from all incursions. As of today, she is a very powerful authoritative figure in the Marvel universe.”Alonso's mention of Alpha Flight suggests there will be a more cosmic angle to the conflict in Civil War II. That's corroborated by the fact that Thanos is featured on the cover of another Civil War II tie-in, the FCBD Civil War II special.This issue will include another Civil War II prelude, this time written by Bendis and drawn by Jim Cheung. The issue will also include an All-New, All-Different Avengers story by writer Mark Waid and artist Alan Davis that introduces the "All-New Wasp" to the Marvel Universe.That's not the only FCBD special Marvel has planned for this year. The FCBD Steve Rogers: Captain America special will introduce a rejuvenated Steve Rogers in his new Captain America costume:This issue will feature a Cap story by writer Nick Spencer and artist Jesus Saiz and a prologue to the Spider-Man-themed "Dead No More" story from writer Dan Slott and artist Javier Garron (check out our theories on which Spider-Man characters might be due for a resurrection ).Together, these three comics should offer a good idea of where the Marvel Universe is headed in the latter half of 2016. Both FCBD specials will be released on May 7. Civil War II #0 will also be released in May, with the main series kicking off shortly after in June.
