That cover is 20x better now!!
 
i like these covers...... the spider-man webbed up captain america shield is pretty cool, but i'd rather it as a poster...... but i like the whole half and half thing, with the wrap round cover

Did anyone get that Daily Bugle edition?

In the last pages is an editorial by She-Hulk in favor of registration which is probably the best argumentation yet shown from a Marvel Character on the topic.

Read it completely the other day and meant to post earlier...


Yeah---she has the most convincing arguement to date. If I was listening to her convince me to join---I'd say yeah...on a few conditions. The main thing is that I want my family in some kinda govt protected facility like MJ/May in Avengers Tower.

So yeah.....I'm pro-registration.
 
I agree about the covers. For as average and mediocre as this series is, the covers are classy and high quality. I wonder how much money they lose for not having a back cover ad?

I do wish McNiven wouldn't use the swirly lines for the background of the pics, though. It looks cheesey.

Not bad. I really liked Cap & his team changing in the alleyway...pretty cool twist.

What I don't get with this is that they way this series is being hyped, it's like they want people to pick between two equal sides; Equal as in, morally. But they make no bones about Tony Stark being the "bad guy" and Cap the "good guy". Strange.

I'm kind of "meh" about Thor. The guy is a Norse god; what does he care about the law of one country? Why would he get involved?

No Donald was more of like a Spilt personality I believe. When Odin sent him to Earth he kinbda created a new identity and body for him with fake memories or something, I'm not sure

And I want to see why Thor is on the registration side, seems like he would side with Cap no matter what

Ice said:
Thinking about it, who says that Thor is actually pro-registration? I know people are assuming that because he's with Tony, but, what if it's just that? He's just with Tony, as someone previously said, I believe, to end the fighting.

It's a possibility.

Hill did say "Codename: Lightning" a few times which would suggest that he was planned to show up

Does anyone else feel they're doing a great job with the tie ins here? I read Cable/Deadpool, X-Men, X-Factor. They were all really good especially today since I read all my Civil War in one sitting.

Said this before - which never prevents long-winded me from sayin' it again! - the "conflict" in Civil War doesn't seem to be one worth having... IMHO.

Basically, Cap's side is the "pro-vigilante" side. You can dress it up, you can finesse it, but what Cap is saying is that anyone... ANYONE... who puts on a mask has a right to obey what laws he or she chooses, to disregard what laws he or she chooses, to use whatever level of force he or she is comfortable with, whenever and wherever he is comfortable using it, all the while being answerable to NO ONE.

In real life...*S*... it wouldn't have taken literal decades for a "Nitro" incident. We would have had one a LONG time before now. Shoot, we would have had DOZENS of them before now. Even in the controlled, fictional confines of the Marvel Universe, we HAVE had other incidents - we just weren't (generally) shown the consequences. When you think of ALL the battles that have been fought... buildings trashed, cars thrown, ammo expended, ray blasts hurled, etc.. do you really believe there have been no meaningful "civilian" casualties before now?

So I think the whole thing is a "cheat". What makes it interesting, to the extent that it is interesting, is seeing heroes in serious conflict (instead of the traditional one-book "Heroes meet, have disagreement, have cool fight for fanboy enjoyment, then make up" stuff we generally see). But that is, for me, tainted, by the weird concept of Cap and company taking an explicit stand in favor of vigilante action.

I mean... since when does Captain America toss a SHIELD agent into high speed traffic, causing a multicar crash in which regular, nonpower police have GOT to be seriously injured, so he can defend the right to... what.... stand outside the law and do whatever the !@$@# he wants? YIKES!

Shadow

PS _ A few pages back, EVIL does a MUCH more eloquent and thorough job of covering the same points. OOPS. He also raises the gun control analogy, which is a great one, if a dangerously senstive one...but he is dead on. Imagine someone saying "I have the right to carry a flamethrower. Everywhere. And a tank. And to fly my own fighter jet. And more than that - to USE any of these when and if I see fit. In any way I see fit. Anonymously." Er...think that MIGHT give a LOT of rational people pause? Hmmm? Are we REALLY to believe the pro and anti registration forces are on EQUAL moral footing here?

The thing just left for France so i guess he's neutral.


also Nitro said to wolverine that he was using MGH to be more powerfull and that someone in the gov was behind it...........
 
I have still yet to read Civil War or any of its tie ins but I have read the reactions of people to it. They say lots of characters seem to be a bit out of character, being forced to fit into storyline guides. I say its all a plot device and The Controller is behind everything! Bwahaha!

I just got some issues yesterday, and Wolverine showdown with Namor will be awesome! I can't wait. I wonder how they'll squeeze in sentry into all of this. I also bought civil war #2 variant with peter parker unmasked.
