A review by reaperreads
Civil War by Mark Millar

5.0

What I absolutely love about this comic is that it is never truly clear with whose side the reader should agree. There is never any definite right or wrong answer because both sides have their merits as well as their drawbacks. Both sides cause death, destruction, and neither faction seems to understand that the general idea of the "exception" is something that this universe has been struggling with since day one. They live outside of the law, governing themselves, and exacting justice where and when they see fit. Superhero registration does not and cannot change that because of the mere principal of the matter being that these people are SUPERhuman--ABOVE and BEYOND what a normal human being can achieve. The Marvel universe might appear to need these people in order to maintain regulation, but to what extent does that order benefit the populous with the price being granting these heroes anonymity and being exceptions to the law? All of these thoughts make for an interesting premise for this comic, which I thoroughly enjoyed!
