- Best Marvel Event since... ever!
Before i read Civil war, i followed some marvel titles like Daredevil, Astonishing X-men and New Avengers, but was mostly interested in DC titles. Once i read Civil War, i havent lost interest in the whole landscape of the Marvel Universe, its just so exciting and the whole "anything can happen" feel through it is the reason i read comics. Civil War is not only an outstanding story by itself, but it makes it next to impossible to not be interested what happens next in the Marvel Universe . The plot is exciting, the art breathtaking, and the characters compelling. Seriously, this series is not to be missed by anyone even remotely interested in comics (and not to mention , the current Secret Invasion Series that is the direct fallout to Civil War) Highest recommendation possible!

I have always been a fan of comic book heroes while having not been a frequent reader of comic books. I never had a group of friends nor the extra money to spend on comics.

This series might change the latter part of that statement. I am now going to start setting aside some money to become a more frequent reader. And some of my friends are dong the same because of this book.

If you are a casual comic reader I would highly reccomend this series.

- Civil What?
I love The Ultimates, and I think it's one of the best Avenger type stories around. I have the entire series, and Millar really gets those characters (whereas the new series by Loeb kinda stinks). That's why I was shocked to read Civil War in it's individual issues. I kept expecting it to become good, and it just got progressively worse and worse. No character in this storyline is consistent with their personalities throughout all of Marvel history. These characters are HEROES, and they are shown willing to kill each other over government sanctions??? What???!!?? A deadly tiff among superheroes? The artwork is the only thing that is worth looking at, and even that gets a little inconsistent at the end. What's really bad is how incredibly cynical AND manipulative this comic is. We are made to specifically dislike one "side," and they are the ones who win... cause... life's not fair??!??! Who knows? But what I do know is that these superheroes wouldn't pick sides in something this stupid. They would unite because that is what they have always done. This was a cheap ploy for sales, and they basically did this just to see how bad they could mess Marvel up so you would have to buy issues of these offshoots. Bad form. There has been SOME good out of the series: The Thunderbolts is a pretty good storyline now with Ellis writing it, and Captain America is still going strong (even without Cap?!) because of the talents of Ed Brubaker and Epting. These characters howevr are so inconsistent it makes you want to scream. The What If? Civil War storyline with the alternate version of the conclusion of Civil War is better and more accurate to who these characters are than this entire volume. Not worth the paper it's printed on.
