I didn't have the heart to even read this all the way through. It was just not there. The characters, the dialogue, the tone, the emotions. Nothing worked. Nothing was well thought through or sincerely felt. Mark Millar is coasting on Alan Moore's, Frank Miller's, Grant Morrison's and especially Warren Ellis's coat-tails and has been his whole career. This is an empty spectacle for spectacle's sake. Yet another examining of the fascist and authoritarian components of superheroes. The writers of one of the Star Trek Next Generation guidebooks said it best:"We don't need speed limits on our dreams." We don't need superheroes who have to file flight plans either. Would Captain America really break down sobbing in front of the whole world? I don't think so. Would Tony Stark really embrace authoritarianism after seeing it's failures first hand in Vietnam? Why would Spider-Man ever reveal his secret identity with so many superhumanly powerful psychotics longing to kill him and his loved ones. Stupid, unbelievable, and sad.Get more detail about Civil War.
