That was ok.
A lot of the team make ups didn’t really make sense but whatever.

The X-Men have been victims of profiling and capricious visions of the future. Why would they side with Carol and S.H.I.E.L.D.?

A much smaller scope then the original, but I don’t get all the hate this story receives. The artwork is incredible, the conflict is believable, and the resolution was satisfying.

I loved it. I felt it had a better central argument and one more well developed than the first Civil War book. The art was great and there were just dazzling splash pages.

I don't read many main Marvel titles (Ms. Marvel, Hellcat and the Miles Morales books were the only ones I was reading while this was ongoing but it still provided enough context for me to understand who was who).

Enjoyable Marvel slug fest though I still question the need for a second Civil War story.
Does ask some interesting questions about the nature of the future, free will and predestination but unfortunately they've all been asked before.

Great artwork, mediocre story. Better than Civil War 1 though.

Huh. Well from what I've read in the other non-main Civil War II books, I expected much worse. It was a readable book with a start and an end. And did mostly make sense. But I never believed Carol making the choices she made in this book. And I don't trust Marvel to keep the changes in this book as changed. And in general this book was all plot and no real substance. So I guess it was a great big whatever. I'd much prefer they write good books rather than big books. If they had written this as a smaller book, all from the perspective of Ulysses it might have been great.

"From the creative team that brought you House of M and Siege comes a blistering first chapter in Marvel’s new explosive event." well, if only it was anywhere near HoM in terms of quality... Sure, the art is pretty, but other than that... Meh, not only did it dragged on too long (both in-universe and the actual publishing dates), it wasn't that good, the characters felt off and the dialogues were stilted, overall, not really a great read.
