I do not know if you heard (I certainly hadn't) but Stamford, CT has suffered a disastrous loss of life....in Marvel Comics, that is.  You see, per their series Civil War II 1 & 2:

"The disastrous loss of life in Stamford, CT sparked the creation of the Superhuman Registration Act, a bill that required all US heroes to register their identities with the government and submit to training and regulation. The SHRA split the superhero community down the middle, with Iron Man leading the pro-registration faction and Captain America spearheading an underground resistance movement. When the dust from their war finally settled, Cap turned himself in and registration became the law of the land (for a while, at least)."

Stamford, CT, eh?  They must be talking about the West side...and other areas.. with all their recent gun violence.

Not a day goes by recently that there isn't a shooting or some kind of violence in Stamford.  Speaking for myself, doing social and ministry work here is no picnic at all and I am always on guard against becoming a victim of some kind.

I shall have to investigate the 'etiology' of 'Civil War II's choice of Stamford as the focus of violence so  rampant that 'superheroes' must be involved.  I mean, they could have chosen Detroit or Hartford or some similar place where death by 'bad guys' is endemic.

I welcome your comments as we explore this together, either here or on Facebook.

What I won't do is leave this topic unstudied, unquestioned and not pondered, nor scrutinized.

We've got a 'situation' here, with this 'disastrous loss of life', in reality, as well as in fiction.

Anybody listening?
