so, civil war #6 come out today. i, for one, am excited. as annoyed as i've been with the scheduling, i've been really enjoying the story. i can tell today is gonna go very slow at work since all i wanna do is get home to pick up my civil war. and on top of the main title, we get 3 key tie-ins today: frontlines, amazing spidey, and punisher.

here are 8 random panels from CW #6 that marvel's released:

I got it yesterday. Unfortunately, it seems to be a place-holder issue. It lets you know why Strange isn't involved, and it gives a few status reports, but nothing much else happens. It's just a buildup issue for the final issue. Kinda disappointing.

proof that canadians are communists. their comics don't even get pushed back a day when there's a holiday. CHRISTMAS? WORK!! NEW YEARS? WORK!! CANADA IS SLAVES!!!

as far as what will be in the issue, i originally felt that way about issue 5, that it was very placeholdery and not much happened, until i reread it and realized just how much really did happen (with spidey switching, punisher joining, and daredevil/ironfist being captured. i'll reserve judgment on your disappointment.

Fixed

[OpTard]

no, i do that at work. DUH!

So I stroll into my comic book shop last night...

WHERE THE FUCK'S CIVIL WAR #6??!?!?

The West Coast got burned with their shipments. They'll get filled up next week.


GAH!!!!

[OpTard]

reason #3,675 the west coast blows.

as for the issue, i disagree with psychofish. i enjoyed it very much. i mean, it's not that he's wrong. there are no senses-shattering surprises or anything. but i think it moved the story foward really well and it did plenty to pump me up for the last issue. and it looked great. i love steve mcniven.


on a barely related note, i've always hated the word "penultimate." it sounds so grandiose and just means 2nd to last. fucking gay.

[The Canadian Content]

Possibly worse than "penultimate": neophyte.

Tard, I enjoyed the issue, I was just disappointed because I felt that its only purpose was to build for the last issue. There are a lot of storylines going on, and I really don't see how they're going to wrap everything up in one issue. It would've been nice to see some things resolved before the big fight. #6 would've been the sensible place to do that.

That said, I'm really looking forward to the final issue beacause I have no idea how they're going to resolve everything.

cover to civil war 7. looks pretty rockin!

[The Canadian Content]

Agreed. Me definitely likey.

[Deleted]

Shit. I'm not even into comics all that much, anymore. That cover may convince me to pick up this series.

[OpTard]

the trade comes out in march. just wait for that.

[Deleted]

Oh, damn. I didn't realize the trades came out that fast. Should I be able to find one in Barnes & Noble? Or will I have better luck at a local comic shop?

[OpTard]

well the trade probably wouldn't have been so soon after the series if the book hasn't had so much lateness
