Civil War by Mark Millar
4.0
Great series. ending left me bummed though.
Civil War has become something of a main-stream comic series, if only because of the movies that have come out around it. The comic series itself did not disappoint (Though I'll admit I have a few more spin-off ones to read).
I was team Captain since the beginning. Perhaps it's because I'm a huge star wars nerd and Rebel, or perhaps it's because I don't believe in giving up freedom for the sake of security. Though this series does an excellent job of portraying Iron Man's side of things and his reasons. You can't really fault or hate either side during this conflict as no one is really doing it for nefarious reasons. It's a point of view issue and that's it.
I will point one thing out that had me leaning towards Cap'n's side more strongly and that's the fact that Iron Man's team were experimenting on clones, people, locking up their own friends, killed their own friend etc.
It seems like a lot of big events push you to believe that Captain America is the good guy and Iron Man is the bad guy. So the ending left me kind of bummed, even though it was Captain America's choice to step down. They were winning after all.
Great series, 4.5/5 stars.
