Civil War II: Gods of War is a four-issue Marvel Comics miniseries written by Dan Abnett with art by Emilio Laiso, published in 2016 and collected in a single volume. It ties into the main Civil War II event, which centers on a conflict over using a precognitive Inhuman named Ulysses to prevent future crimes before they happen.

The Gods of War series focuses on Hercules, who assembles a group of mythological figures in response to a threat linked to the Civil War II events. The series operates somewhat separately from the main conflict and emphasizes action and mythological elements over the political divisions that define the central event. Abnett draws on his background writing cosmic and fantastical Marvel characters.

As a tie-in miniseries, Gods of War is a secondary work that supplements rather than advances the main Civil War II storyline. It is of primary interest to readers who want complete coverage of the event or who specifically enjoy Abnett’s work on Marvel’s mythological characters.
