Answers:
Captain America: Civil War is a trade paperback which means that it reprints a bunch of comics and collects them into one book!. One of the main purposes of trade paperbacks is so people can read the stories for less than what it would cost to buy each issue separately and it also makes it easier to get the full story without having to hunt down all the separate issues!. If you just want to read the stories, buy the trade paperbacks!. I'd recommend getting the trade paperbacks as well since the complete Civil War storyline was featured in a ton of comics!. The easiest way to tell the difference between a comic and a trade paperback is by thickness!. The average comic book is 36 pages thick including ads and covers!. Trade paperbacks are significantly thicker since they usually contain at least 4 comics worth of stories!. If you are still unsure of which ones to get, talk to your local comic book store employee and they should be able to help you out!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
