Marvel's Civil War
 
So issue one has been out for a couple of days, has anyone else been reading? What do you think about it so far? What do you think is going to happen?

Just get the ball rolling here people... I know I'm not the only person here interested in this story.

Joe Quesda is going to end up apologising for it the way he did with "The Other", the way he did with "House Of M", the way he's going to do with "Onslaught Reborn"...

It's not a pretty pattern.

I'll most likely pick this up, considering that my favorite Marvel hero, Spider-Man, is going to be at the forefront of a company-wide storyline.

And I don't care what people will say about this; it's definitely going to be better than Marvel Zombies (I know that's not saying much from a guy who liked the "Spider-Clone" saga, making me one in about 2 or 3 in the world :P )

That all aside, I'd love to hear what people think about Spidey's new costume. I like it; it's nifty that he can mentally change back to his original duds with it. The new abilities are quite cool.

Civil War definitely is better than Zombies, which was a load of rubbish in retrospecitve. I wouldn't even dream of comparing this to Marvel Zombies.

Anyways, I still hate Peter's new looks and definitely appreciate the retcon-possibility they've already given us. The new costume is too plain for me, especially in the head area. The Spider-Web-pattern we all know was definitely better.

And I wonder what will become of Tony when this is all over.

Don't get used to it, Joe and JMS are going to get rid of it as soon as this is ove, this is just to symbolise the side Peter will take, and the side he will eventually abandon.

And in relation to the new coustume, it's s*it, and is intended to be s*it beyond it's purpose of being nothing more than a plot point.

As for changing to his civilian clothing with mental powers...big whoop, Superman did that with his electric blue coustume in 1997, another case of sadass effort from a weaker DC at the time.

Yeah, I expect his new costume to be short-lived; I doubt that Quesada would make it last past the story. But at least it has a nice scientific origin, whereas Superman's ability was just another in a long list of attributes that made him so farfetched.

There's probably a reason why Tony is having Spider-Man wear the suit, we'll just have to see. BTW I'm actually liking Civil War, I hope Mark Millar doesn't rush this like how IC was rushed at the end.

So far, the thing I like most about Civil War are all the fake banners fans have been making.

The people in this thread went crazy. Some of em are gold.

I have the books that the picture in the one Dr. Spengler has. It's from the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" series.

DrSpengler 05-10-2006 10:58 PM
Yeah, I've got the collected edition. Fond memories of scarring my childhood forever.

Jester 05-10-2006 11:00 PM
In retrospect though...not so scary...:P

EDIT: Though this pic is...

Jesus jumpin christ, Jester, that was unexpected. i was speed scrolling and reading what you had typed right as the image just loaded up at once.

Anyways, on a side note to this Civil War ****. I'm interested. Specifically in the Wolverine series going with it, mostly cause Humberto Ramos is drawing it. I dig my Wolverine, and I ****ing adore Ramos. its like Randal Graves'd say "its like hermaphradidic porn, the best of both worlds."

Could anyone give a short summary on what this is all about?

Jester 05-11-2006 12:24 PM
Spoiler:
Basically the New Warriors take on some super villains and the result is cataclysmic. Hundreds die for nothing more than a reality show to put the NW’s on the map. Due to these events the US government, at the behest of citizens, some the family of the victims, draft legislation that says that super-beings that wish to be heroes must be registered and trained as civil servants. This leads to a schism for some of the heroes, some who feel that the legislation would cause their families harm. Cap even confronts S.H.I.E.L.D. Acting Commander Hill, telling her that most of the “street” heroes will probably be on the other side of the new law and that super beings need to above politics, or they become pawns of a government who ends up “telling us who the super-villains are.” In the end, Cap becomes, almost by accident, a figurehead for those heroes who are willing to buck the law.


There you go Barkworm. (Thanks to Anarky fo helping me get the issue)

Or "Captain SUBURBAN Amercia"
:P

R-iZZy 05-13-2006 10:10 PM
Yeah, I have a friend who doesn't look at comics at all. He was actually interested in this issue and absolutely loved it. We both pretty much bashed Iron Man after reading this. We're both with Captain America on this. We have another friend who likes to play devil's advocate, so he's sort of siding with Iron Man on this issue.

This series will definitely be one of Marvel's best. Anyway, go Cap!

Thanks Jester!
