Civil War #1 by Steve McNiven, Mark Millar
5.0
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!
