Average ending to a ****e story. I'm just glad it's finally over.
 
I thought they said Clor was going to be a factor in the new Thor book. Are they going to make another or is it just going to be the fact that they cloned Thor that's going to be a factor? I thought it was a good story anyway. To each his own I guess.

I am so massively disappointed it's not funny. This had a lamer ending than "No more mutants"
 
I just saw this..Colbert is in the issue(look where The Thunderbolts are fighting cap)
 
My only criticism is that it Cap's moment of revealation happened too fast.

I was happy with the ending.
 
I wonder if they will send any teams to Puero Rico..we are tecnicly part of the US
 
Instantly after seeing the Punisher pick up Cap's mask I'm now supremely confident that Ronin is the Punisher. I'm so confident I'd put money on it.
 
Frank Castle as Ronin is horrible. I really hope it's not him.

Stupid Ronin.

I bet Sue was just delighted about the plan to fight in Baxter Building where her children were. If they're going to fight near them anyway, she should have taken them with her. Did Ben leave for France in the main Civil War book, or was it just mentioned in passing that he was planning on leaving soon? Because if so, his arrival must seem a little weird to the people only reading Civil War.

The only part about this book I liked was seeing the different headlines JJJ had tacked up. That was a nice touch.

I can't believe Captain America surrendered because the dumbass firefighters and EMTs tackled him. Why aren't they putting out ****ing fires or treating some of the people who were injured when a hundred or so people fell out of the sky? Also, if I were one of the anti-regs, I would beat the **** out of Captain America. "Oh, we've destroyed a block of New York City and pissed off some jackass firefighters, so we must surrender to the *******s who CLONED THOR, IMPRISONED MINORS BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T JOIN AN ARMY, and LIED TO PEOPLE SO THEY WOULD VIEW A NUN-KILLER AS BETTER THAN CAPTAIN AMERICA."

And I feel really bad for Clone Thor. The poor bastard was a slave. He was created, brainwashed, had his internal organs scooped out and replaced with technology made by the same guy who created Ultron, and then destroyed for obeying his programming. Or was he not a clone at all?

If that was a real, legitimate clone, then it had a soul. If so, then the pro side are ****ing monsters and I will never, ever consider them heroes again because they enslaved, brainwashed and destroyed an innocent entity.

I hated Civil War so much that I can't judge this book on its own merits. However, my gut says it sucks.

I'm not sure if you read Civil War #7, or if you simply placed a piece of ASM in there on accident.

Cap didn't surrender because the EMTs tackled him- he surrendered when he realized that fighting wasn't the way to fix the problem, and that he had gone too far.

I disliked most of Civil War since #3 (Annihilation FTW), but this was just about the best ending I can think of.

I read ASM and CW7 within five minutes of each other so I must have gotten the part with the headlines mixed in. My bad.

If Cap realized that fighting wouldn't solve the problem, then... it still seems horribly anti-climactic to me. He just surrendered right there? What did the other anti-regs do? How do they feel about this? We didn't get their opinions, just the pro-regs "we're bastards but we won so we're right" montage.

The people over at Marvel have consistently stated that the series is one about beliefs. Cap became so fanatical into his that he hadn't stopped for a second to realize what he was doing wrong.

At least, I assume that is what they were going for. And I think it would be quite difficult to show all the anti-reg's opinions with the limited space; I assume most of 'The Initiative' titles will have what you're looking for in that department.

This series would have been a lot better, had the Pro-Reg not done such atrociously evil actions (like the thunderbolts.)
 
I actually think this issue did a great job of pulling the old switcheroo and turning Tony into the good guy. I'm really pretty amazed at how well that worked (as long as you forget the Goliath thing). Cap ends up looking like a jerk and Tony comes across as a guy who was trying to do the right thing and protect his friends IDs at the same time. The only thing that still makes him seem a bit wrong-headed is 42.

I dunno

Tny seemed sexist aslingHill for coffe and calling Sharp sweetheart
 
After reading all 7 issues last night----I have come to the following conclusions:

HoM was more entertaining
I am more excited at the fallout prospectives of CW that the mini itself


But I still think the ending worked out pretty well considering the position they were put in. Sometimes the answer just clicks. Capt did the right thing.


Big Government FTW!

The Initiative is a Pro-Reg book; it's about the capes who registered and are now enslaved to SHIELD. There was a preview for it where War Machine sticks a gun in a teenager's face because she flew around a suburb area unauthorized. Lovely.
 
Just read the issue. I loved it. I thought it was a good ending. The series might have done well if not better without an issue or two, but even then, it was all good.

4/5 for the issue.

4/5 for the whole mini.
