Today Sony added 40 new comics to the PlayStation Portable's Digital Comics Store. Among the additions is the seven-issue Civil War series by Marvel.

In the Civil War story arc, the government passes a Superhuman Registration Act that requires all United States citizens with superhuman abilities to reveal their true identity and receive mandatory training from the government. It was the inspiration for the plot of a recent game, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.
