Civil War: Choosing Sides Vol. 1 #1

My first tie-in to a big comic book event, that being Marvel's Civil War, Civil War: Choosing Sides Vol. 1 #1 has the story that first got me interested in reading the event itself. The comic is more of an anthology telling different stories of different characters and how they react, what they do, and how the events of the main story affects them. These include Mac Gargan being attacked by a SHIELD squad and turning into Venom, Eric O'Grady as a new Ant-Man getting in the middle of a fight between Iron Man's and Captain America's forces, Iron Fist pretending to be Daredevil as a favor for him while he's hiding with Captain America, US Agent tracking down the Purple Man, and Howard the Duck tries to register for the Superhero Registration Act. This comic tie-in is a lot more fun than the main story of Civil War and the artwork is better, though I learned there are other tie-ins to read to finish storylines that were introduced here such as Gargan being attacked or Agent going to Canada. I love all the stories, but my absolute favorite is Howard's due to how comical and different it is from the rest of the comic and the main story itself, and even it's artwork is vastly different from either. Over all: 100%
