Civil War

Civil War is my second comic, but also the first Marvel comic that I eventually read, picking it up for two main reasons. One was because the story of Civil War will partly inspire the next Captain America film and I wanted to read the comic to understand what will or might happen in the film and see how they compare. The other was because I read somewhere there was a moment in the story where Howard the Duck appears and I wanted to read that part, though when it wasn't I was a bit confused and that's when I started to suspect that big crossover storylines like this one don't show everything about the story in the main books as I was still trying to understand the way comic books work. Even with that Civil War is still a very interesting book to read wherein Captain America leads a group of heroes against a government law that forces all heroes to act under regulation which is supported by Iron Man and other heroes. The comic book event sees what happens when certain heroes have to hide not only from the government but also from former allies. One part that I found very interesting was when The Punisher shows up to help Captain America and he kills two villains that were there. Captain then beats him up for his actions, with the Punisher not even trying to fight back due to his respect of Steve Rogers. However, there are some problems such as the way Captain America is portrayed throughout the story with him immediaetly punching his way through rather than talking things out. Also the way that Civil War ends feels way to abrupt, especially since it's only when being told by regular citizens that Rogers realizes the destruction he caused. Over all: 65%
