Well I picked up the final issue of Marvels seven issue event ” Civil War “, and after reading the final issue three times, I have to say that it was really kinda bland for me. This big war ended ( if you haven’t read this series yet or this issue, stop reading NOW!!!!!!!!!!) with several highlights and probably some of the most improbable twists in any story I have read in a long time, and in my opinion one of these twists has to be the biggest cop-outs of the whole mini series!

Can you say….Tony Stark, Shield Director, and shaking hands with the president…..

and Steve Rogers, the living legend, Captain America, surrenders ( the biggest disappointment for me in the whole series ) and is put in jail!

Best Civil War moments….

Cap beating the crap out of Iron Man with his shield! That was just awesome, it’s too bad that Cap got waylaid by civilians!

Frank Castle becomes involved in the War, for a while on the side of Cap and his renegades, with flashbacks of a pre-punisher Castle taking training from the legend himself, and getting his ass handed to him by same said legend and not lifting a finger to defend himself because of his respect and admiration for the man and the costume he wore and the ideals he represents!

The return of Thor! Not!!

It was a Thor clone, created by Reed Richards.

Imperious Rex!

Namor and the troops arrive to turn the tide and help an old friend, and was totally unexpected by yours truly.

Hercules totally destroys another Thor with his own uru hammer!

This one looks to have been an android.

And the most disappointing for me….

Captain America surrenders!

The whole story just becomes unbelievable to me when this happens. Even when it is for the right reasons, the picture of Steve Rogers in an American prison and Tony Stark on the bridge of a Shield Helicarrior as the new director just does not ring true for me after all that I had seen happen in this series.
