The comic version of civil war has a way larger scale than in the movie, while some elements are similar they are very different stories mainly because of the end result of the story.
Comic vs Movie
The comic story line starts in Stamford, Connecticut where a group of young superhero's are filming a reality TV series where they capture super villains. In a confrontation with said villains they accidentally blow up a city killing hundreds of people. The incident causes the government to intervene proposing the super hero registration act. Iron Man is the first to sign and is made the enforcer of the act, while Captain America opposes the act feeling as if the act will undermine what being a hero actually stands for. Several battles take place throughout the story resulting in the death of several characters and affecting the status quo of major characters. Spider man in the comic is a much older established version of Spider man while the movie version is just getting started. Spider man in the comic is a major part of the story, to show his support of Iron Man he reveals his identity to the world on live TV. Spider man later comes to regret his decision and joins Captain America's side. In the final battle of Civil War nearly every hero in the marvel universe participates in the battle
causing huge damage to the surrounding area causing Captain America to forfeit the battle. A few days later Captain America is brought to Washington to stand trial but is fatally shot in the chest several times killing him thus bringing a true end to the war.
The comic version of the story is a much darker version of the story that truly made an impact for Marvel comics. Civil war was released nearly 10 years ago and even in the story lines today the impact is felt.
