I like where they are taking Speedball.

I think I do too. It's certainly better than having him be Speedball, which was a retarded character.

The points of pain on his costume and the explanation behind it were interesting.

However, I can't really force myself to feel like it's Robbie Baldwin's fault. No moreso than any of the others on the show. All the blame...it's just too forced. It's not like he's the one who blew up. And he certainly didn't force anyone to.
 
Yeah, it's pretty weak. I would never feel responsible if I were him (although I would take the registration deal before going to jail). I like how he talked to the kid's dad. I would have probably even been harsher to him. The dude frickin' shot him for nothing he did.
 
*is a Penace fan too* I liked that idea. It, as well as all of Civil War, would have probably been better if it was truly the New Warrior's fault, though.

I liked when Robbie had that hood on; it sort of reminded me of Anakin in Episode III.

That's the part I didn't like. Nobody should ever put the hoods of a hoodie over their head, it looks stupid in most cases.

(Although being in the rain in a hoodie and not wearing the hood is also stupid...)

Um, anyway. I thought Civil War was meh. I just kind of want to get it over with. As pointless, over-hyped, and error-filled Disassembled and House of M were, at least they only took four months.

The last few pages were kind of funny. "You're screwed, Cap!" "Nuh uh, you're screwed!" "Nuh uh, you are!" "No, you are!" Well, it seemed that way, anyway.

Also, this new crossover we're appearantly going to get soon is pretty much the last straw with me. I'mn tired of these stupid mega event things. I'm gonna... I'm gonna...! Well, I'm going to buy it and complain, that's what I'm going to do! Yeah!

And is anyone else glad Typeface is dead?
 
Why would anyone be glad Typeface is dead? He was an obscure charactre that could have easily faded away and never been seen again. He wasn't hurting anyone. Besides, it wasn't definite that he died. He just "looked dead."

I hate when characters die, especially these obscure ones (less chance of them returning), and so pointlessly. Why shouldn't they be around in case anyone wants to use them later?
 
Does anyone else see the bizarre symbolism that Penance, formerly Speedball, a Steve Dikto creation, is working with the Green Goblin, the guy who in comic book legend, was responsible for Steve Dikto leaving Spider-Man?

Just bought Civil War #6...and I was strangely disappointed.

Maybe it was McNiven's so-so art, maybe it was the annoying dialog, and that crappy Punisher scene probably had something to do with it, but this issue just pales in comparison to the first five.

If Millar just makes #7 a big superhero fight, I am going to publicly deny my former claims of undying love for him.

That's pretty much how I feel about Ultimates 2 #13 too.
 
If you want a science comic, you go to Warren Ellis. If you want some deep thought comic, you go to Grant Morrison. If you want a political comic, you go to Brian K. Vaughan. If you want epic superhero action, you go to Mark Millar.

I'm looking forward to Civil War #7 just to see if Marvel can resolve this successfully.
