Dood I haven't bought comics in a long time (Well DC or marvel anyway) But this civil war thing is awesome.
Although...
it does echo Kingdom Come in a very real way...
Which is an awesome mini series itself.
yeah Kingdom Come is pretty awesome too. Also read The Kingdom, it's the sequel to Kingdom Come. It's not Alex Ross artwork though unfortnately, but the story isn't really that bad. It does remind you of that. But man I freaked when Parker showed himself though man it's crazy. I can't wait for issue 3!!
you'll probably find them pretty easily, it's a huge event so they'll have tons of copies. What you can't find are the Wolverine Origins! This is where Wolverine has gotten all his memories back after House of M (Magneto) it's pretty crazy.
I have a few of those too
Back in the day when I collected comics
They just got to expensive for single issues you know?
I do have a tone of Darkhorse star wars comics from the early to mid 90s
Thank you very much for putting that up there.
I don't ever read comics, but I might look for that one.
It means alot to know that you've given this issue even a thought!
Thanks Rory.
no problem darling. Yeah just look for Batman and Superman issue #26. Has Robin and Superboy on it. It'll probably be really hard to find where you live. So even buy it online. Or actually I could by another copy and snail mail it to you ^_^
Killer artwork, I knew it had to do with PP's unmasking. I haven't followed this stuff in years, to be honest. I think the Civil War is a serious shot in the arm for comics in general, though.
It follows the X-Men themes fairly well, I think, and believe it or not, there's a precedent you migth not have thought about, but probablyt have- the movie The Incredibles. Superheros are forced to give up their super identities and become n9ormal people, never revealing their superpowers. It's a slightly different take, but it's similar.
Either way, this sort of soul-searching, rip-your-world-apart storylines are always cathartic and always leave scars, and make the supersuits less like pajamas and more like tattoos. And as we all know, scars are just tattoos with better stories, and this theme is going to scar some people up. SO it'll put the heroes ( and masked villians maybe ) in one of two categories- scarsuits or tattoo suits.

yeah there's one thing they're really forgetting though. The villians I don't think the villians are going to stand around either @_@. There a shot in Issue number five or something showing Spider-Man getting attacked by a whole bunch of people and his new costume being destroyed. Poor Peter Parker
Yeah, no one's thinking about the masked villians
Man, no matter how much that guy tries to upgrade his threads, the same thing always happens! First Venom, now this!
And it's been like 30 years since I read a Venom story!

you're correct on The Incredibles. They mention it a little on the Civil war Wiki site about registrations and all. Another comic to check out is Wolverine Origins. I'll explain it in short verison as possible. Before civil War there was House Of M. Where everyone had their dreams come true and all. Peter Parker Married Gwen Stacy and such. But to explain Wolverine, he was the only one to know what's going on. Because he got back ALL of his MEMORIES. Blessing and a curse. So now in Wolverine Origins he's finding everyone who did him wrong and taking them out it's crazy. So the Wolverine you're seeing all now has all his memories back. Origins he carries a samurai sword that's indestructable and can slice through pretty much everything. IT's so hard to find @_@
Souds like it might actually make a decent narrative as well as graphic novel.
I haven't really ever been much of a comic book fan. My weaknesses were Batman and Spiderman, and sometimes the Hulk and Daredevil when I could find him. I never bought X-Men, no idea why. I liked some of the Superman stuff but it was all pretty much the same before 1972, he really needed a change.
And I stsopped buying the comics regularly by 1974. I think teh last comic book I bought was in 1976?

wow. Well X-Men had too many different series by the 90's just went too crazy. Batman is definately someone to watch all the time. Not really a big Superman reader unless it's Grpahic novel. Hulk I can only read up background stuff not stories though. PRetty much the reason why they sent the Hulk off to outerspace was practically to make the fight even on Earth. Also time to explain where hulk is. There's a series going that deals with all the cosmic heros. There's something heading for Earth that they have to stop and all. But I haven't been able to really read on to that. But the artwork on Nova, Silver Surfer, and Super Skrull are really bad ass. Yeah read grapohic novels I had been out of comics 10 years and getting back into them. Civil War is more political probably end up in disaster and a draw.
