The Captain America Kids' Books Adults Will Want

by K.W. Colyard

Marvel has big plans for its next blockbuster. It's going to change the Marvel Cinematic Universe, after all. And the Captain America: Civil War children's books? You'll want to buy those bad boys for yourself.

Comic book fans have been looking forward to Captain America: Civil War for quite some time. Loosely based on the Civil War mini-series from Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, the film focuses on the Avengers' and others' reactions to the Superhero Registration Act. Iron Man leads the heroes — including War Machine and Vision — who support the Act, while Ant-Man, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and Bucky Barnes, among others, rally with Captain America in opposition. Caught in the middle are the ambivalent Black Widow, Spider-Man, and Black Panther.

Prices on the Captain America: Civil War children's books range from $3.99 to $6.99. Marvel has done a great job of giving kids at all reading levels the chance to enjoy text-based Avengers adventures. Several of the tie-in novels come with extra goodies, such as posters and stickers, and one of them is flippable, allowing you to choose whether you want to be on #TeamIronMan or #TeamCaptainAmerica. Don't tell me you don't want to buy at least one of these.

Captain America: Civil War comes to your local movie theater on May 6. You can pick up the Captain America: Civil War children's books at a bookstore near you, beginning April 12.
