[Secret Wars] Civil War #1

[superboyprime]

"I remember the original Civil War seeming like a real paradigm shift. It was a way of thinking about these characters more as people, with points of view that could generate real conflict amongst themselves, [rather] than just good-guy bad-guy chess pieces moved around on super hero plot boards. The unassailable forces for good were...beating each other up? Over an ideological argument where both side had a completely defensible point of view? It felt very fresh. I hope my new Civil War story will feel the same way to today's readers." - Charles Soule

Enter the region of Battleworld known as... THE WARZONE.

Thank you, but does not explain how this particular Warzone works.

I guess not knowing how the realms interact for trade, power/water etc is going to be one of the unexplained things of Secret Wars.

As far as I can tell Zone 22 is Warworld and it's "shared" by Tony and Steve. Tony has 2x the people but Steve has 2x the land. Tony controls the east end of Warworld and has access to the ocean while Steve's western chunk of ground is landlocked and considered a rebel state. As far as I can tell Warworld is a sizable portion of America from the Rocky mountains to the East coast. It's divided by a ravine which has one bridge across it. That's where Miriam Sharpe lives.

Mary Jane Watson and her kid are living on Tony Stark's "Iron" land. Supposedly Peter meets his (and MJ's) daughter for the first time at the peace conference. I'm not sure if Tony was holding them hostage or MJ was a quisling.

The ravine running through Warzone runs north/south through St Louis, MO which is where Prison 42 exploded killing 15 million people.
