It looks like I may have to eat a slice or two of humble pie when it comes to Marvel's massive event "Civil War".
I was one of the local comic shops I frequent and browsed the Civil War #7. I won't say a great deal about it, since I haven't sat down to absorb it in detail. However, the few moments spent skimming its pages left me very satisfied and downright moved. I think it will surprise many who have been attacking Marvel over this storyline.
This isn't to say that conservative comic fans have nothing to criticize when it comes to what Marvel is producing these days (check out
Legion of Monsters: Werewolf by Night for a perfect example of what I'm talking about - more on this in another post).
With Civil War, however, an honest reader may have to admit, in this story's closing act they seem to have got it right.
