Producers: Garret Castleberry, Will McMurry (Audio Engineer), Alli Garner (Cover Art), Austin Foster (Music) The super scholars then debate the closing question that Marvel asks of its readers, 'Whose side are you on?' The action in Millar writing and McNiven's pencil work reaches a fever pitch, setting up the final conflict and abbreviated denouement to come in Issue #7. The action in Issue #6 is interesting in how it pits iconic characters against one another, typified by Steve Rodgers (Cap) physically pummeling Frank Castle (aka, Punisher) for his fatalistic approaches to resisting the new status quo.
