alright. so i read civil war 7. my biggest gripe is just that marvel pretty much gave away the ending by letting on that the registration act would still be in place afterwards, so it became less of a question of who would win, but how.
i really liked the fight. like 4/5 of this book was just crazy fighting and it was a really cool battle.
i liked the idea behind why captain america surrendered, but i don't know how i feel about the execution. i like that he saw people were getting hurt, and it was his doing, and he was wrong. but i don't think having him tackled by a bunch of civilians is the way to do it. even if public opinion was on iron man's side, i can't think they'd hate captain america so much that they'd actually risk running into a warzone to tackle him down. i'd think it's take hitler hatred for non-military folk to actually run into the front lines and attack. that seemed wrong, but the idea or purpose behind it i liked.
overall i really liked this series. it was perfect (clone thor, anyone?) but it was good read and leave the marvel universe in a new place. i'm also glad they didn't cop out and had some villian show up at the end.

It's nice to see some positive feedback on this thing. Everything I've read has been people shitting on it.
I thought it was a great concept told fairly well. If nothing else, the initial buzz it generated through the media, then the fanboy buzz it generated because of the delays was pretty amazing. Also, as much as people bitched about the waiting, they were bitching, which means they cared. I hated the waiting, but was happy with the end result, so I've really got no complaints.
One question, though: If Thor was a clone (which he was, there's no question about that), why did he have robot parts in his head when Herc smashed it open?
