Loved loved loved. Got this from Barnes and Noble Friday and read most of it that night and the only reason I have to say I finished it today(Saturday) is because it's after midnight.
I loved the storyline(duh) like I knew I would which is why I grabbed it as soon as I saw it. and I love the art style. It was so cool to have all these characters in one comic volume. I need the second volume STAT!

Too many super hero's fighting each other, which gets a beer bit boring.
the words unchecked super hero's is used every 3 pages.
too much of a good thing, predictable storyline? I'm not sure why I found this a bit boring

Apparently the next Captain America movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the MCU) is to be subtitled 'Civil War'.
With that in mind, obviously they're taking this arc as their inspiration.
In this, and following a tragedy brought about by the actions of a group of young super-heroes, the government has decided to introduce the Superhero Registration Act, forcing all Super-heroes to reveal their secret identity or being branded outlaws.
this, of course, has the effect of splitting the Super-hero community down the middle: the 'for' side headed by the likes of Tony Stark (aka Iron Man), with the 'against' side led Steve Rodgers (a.k.a. Captain America). Both sides, also, eventually find themselves working hand-in-hand with the Super-villain community (is that a thing?) as they pursue their relevant agendas.
I have to say, it's an intriguing idea for a story: which side would you come down on? Would you be 'for', or 'against'?
Guaranteed to make fanboys quiver and squeal. Perhaps the only thing better would be DC vs. Marvel.
Civil War is by far one of the most incredibly idiotic things green lighted by Marvel.
The story is simple, a bunch of amateur heroes fight a bunch of D-List criminals who suddenly for the sake of the story are "Too much" for them, things go bad and school explodes, killing a lot of children. So, the goverment decides that the best course of action is to register all heroes.
That happends in like 5 or 6 pages and right away the story doesn't make sense in the slightest.
I won't go in full detail since there are a lot of good reviews here, but the alleged point of the story is that the reader must choose a side, Iron man's pro-registration side or Captain America's anti-registration side, however I think is imposible to choose any of them like it is imposible for a thinking human being to choose left-wing or right-wing.
Iron Man starts acting like a cynical maniac who does not care for the well-being of anybody as long as the registration takes place, while Captain America screams like a asshole how he's right until the end of the book. Instead of showing them how "cool" the registration is to the other heroes, Iron Man and the goverment make a police force to track down every unregistered super hero, while Captain America has the brilliant plan of attacking Iron Man instead of showing that unregistered super heroes can be trusted.
In the end there's a stupid fight were heroes punch other heroes, you even see longtime friends punching themselves. This happens until Captain America realizes all the damage they do with the fight and is like "Oh shit, how didn't a figured out that a war would tear this place apart", as we're expected to believe that experienced heroes didn't knew that a fight between two armies of super powered beings was going to end well.

I... I don't know how to qualify my feelings about this book.
Provides a good overview of what the Marvel civil war was about and who sided with whom. Not in-depth.
