I'm rereading this in preparation for CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. I want to know how much of the movie they based on the comic books.
Even without the movie, the Civil War story line is one of the best ones I have read to date. No one is really the villain in this story. You understand where each person is coming from. You get to know why they stand on the side that they are on.
Superheroes had been without reigns ever since they started doing their thing. The US government decides that it was time for them to be held accountable for the things they do. Up to a point, they are correct, but what happens to these superheroes willingness to choose. They are not given any freedom to choose whether to join this group or not. They may have super powers, but at the end of the day, they're humans too. They have human rights, and that includes the freedom to choose, which the government, obviously, wasn't giving them.
I'm on Captain America's side on this one. I'm not being biased because I think Chris Evans is hot - this is not about that. I really believe that a legislation like that would not benefit anybody. Well, possibly the government. Haha. They want the people of America to be safe? I don't fucking think so.
Anyways, I've always like Mark Millar's work. This was the first one I read of him and was thoroughly impressed with he tells his story. The illustrations were great, the writing was great, the conflict was expertly done. I have no other comments about this first issue aside from IT WAS AWESOME!

webjoram's review against another edition

Antes de comentar este comic he de aclarar que mi lectura de este gran evento de marvel ha abarcado no solo los números publicados en este volumen si no tambien todos los numeros relacionados con este macro evento en las demas series de marvel.
Lo primero que tengo que decir es que leer civil war tal y como yo lo he hecho tiene sus ventajas (una gran visión de conjunto del evento) como sus desventajas (muchas de las series implicadas en este evento tienen una calidad muy discutible y en cierto modo deslucen al resto). En mi opinión, si tuvierva que volver a leer esta saga me centraría en los comics de Mark Millar y como mucho leería algo de Iron Man, Spiderman, Vengadores y poco más. Creo que esta manera me saturaría menos y disfrutaría mucho más la experiencia y esa es mi recomendación a los lectores, sobretodo si sois lectores casuales de comics (como es mi caso).
Dicho todo lo cual he de reconocer que este comic es muy grande y desde luego hay que leerlo.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

This is an AWESOME start to the series!
I've been planning to read [b:Civil War|91714|Civil War (Marvel Civil War Collection)|Mark Millar|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1345813608s/91714.jpg|577888] even before watching CAPTAIN AMERICA : CIVIL WAR, since I heard that the comics included much more details to the story where all the tension was built up. And of course to see all of those other characters that are originally involved in both teams!!!

In this issue, we pick up where the school yard has just been blown up in a clash between the New Warriors and house of others- Cobalt Man, Coldheart, Speedfreak, and Nitro. Many super heroes are working to find survivors while worrying about the consequences this even will have. At the funeral for all of the children, a grieving mother spits in Tony Stark's face and attacks him verbally- saying that her sons blood is on his hands. Soon, things all over become very violent...and the super heroes begin taking sides.

The drama has been laid out so well that no one is the enemy. But at the same time, no one can truly be the hero when the line between right and wrong is marred. It's hard to know who to side with. I still haven't made my decision. Maybe I will soon...
