Civil War sounds absolutely dismal. Ugh. No way am I ever reading that.

You think that's bad? It's called civil war and the first guy to die is Black.

Hey, no one's saying Tony didn't have a good argument. But that kinda gets lost in all the superhero extra-dimensional internement camp, murderous Thor clone, giving Spider-Man armor under the guise of friendship only to bug the thing to hell and back, and working with the fucking Thunderbolts over Captain America.

What about sending armed shields soldiers to take luke cage in at the stroke of midnight? And using a cap corpse lmd to trap to rogue avengers.

I take it those were in tie-ins. I only read the main series.

Holy shit @ the bolded. What the fuck, Tony?

[Freshmaker]

Nah on that we can agree. Tony believes ends justify means, but in the end there are no ends and the means become horrible. So Marvel studios please just leave civil war alone forever, don't touch it... just don't.

But it's such an awesome angle! It's so good, the Xmen needed to fight each other and now the Xmen are fighting The Avengers.

I don't think Marvel has supervillians any more. You just have the heroes clobbering each other and wrecking cities on their own.

[ReiGun]

That was my first question with AvX: Whose fighting the supervillains while all this is going on? Or are they just letting them run wild cause they figure, "Hey. If we can't get this Phoenix shit under control, we're fucked anyway."

You gotta use the same Marvel-philter when reading as when something happens on Manhattan, and all the other heroes (which are almost wholly based there) are conveniently elsewhere.

And who the hell rebuilds Manhattan after all those horrible events? Damage Control works miracles!

Usually its because the time scales are so warped. Obviously with something that comes out every two weeks it is hard to fathom how the entire story arc could take place in like 2 days or so.

That is one advantage DC has in inhabiting a bunch of cities that do not exist.

That just makes it nuttier, not more sensible.

It only takes 2 days for A.I.M to sink California. Just saying.

[Jake Tower]

And not having their whole universe take place on the island of Manhattan. :D

[Replicant]

Civil War sounds absolutely dismal. Ugh. No way am I ever reading that.

I only read the Wiki summary and that was enough to turn me off the whole concept. I refuse to see it as a live-action adaptation. It's a fast way to ruin the entire franchise.

[Jake Tower]

The only thing good about Civil War was the poignancy of Peter Parker revealing his identity in issue 2.

[Hawkian]

Spider-Man is by far the best thing about civil war. And there aren't that many good things about it.

I really dig the Iron Spider armor. Tate's has a classy-as-hell bust of it I'll perhaps buy one day when I sit on mountains of gold bars.

[G-Fex]

it's pretty mean spirited.

But not stupidly mean spirited like Ultimatum

[Clayton Bigsby]

Secret Invasion was somehow worse.

[LuCkymoON]

Honestly it seems most of the villains in MCU are either redeemed, small-time, locked up or dead.

[neorej]

Saw it yesterday, and it was glorious! Just one thing I didn't get; after Thor & Hulk defeat the leviathan, Hulk punches Thor. It was funny as hell, but why did he do that?

[ReiGun]

Hulk didn't take too kindly to that uppercut from Thor.

the more Avengers fan art, the better

[KevinCow]

Why are Thor and Loki naked?

[Hawkian]

Why aren't the rest of them?

Iron spider was awesome, I also really liked tony and peter's weird father son relationship they had going. Would love them to return to that, especially now that peter is actually using science and shit again.

[Log4Girlz]

Why are Thor and Loki naked?

Why, you have a problem with that? lol.

[thebaroness]

Why are Thor and Loki naked?

I'm ok with this.

[DrForester]

Captain America's shield absorbs everything. Doesn't deflect bullets, it stops them. Can absorb a blow from Thor's hammer.

How does it bounce off walls then?

[Log4Girlz]

I've always thought that the material had different properties at its edge or the edge was made of another metal.

[Xun]

Civil War sounds terrible.

[Bluemercury]

Put the 30mins of deleted scenes back in the theatrical version please. Don't know if I'll buy the Blu-Ray

There's 30min of deleted scenes for this???

Can't imagine, it already felt pretty tired and boring in the first 35 minutes or so.

Anyways, heading out to see it for the second time in LieMAX 3D tomorrow; should help clarify my feelings about this Joss Whedon extravaganza.

Good concept, pretty art. Everything else, take it or leave it.

Hated it so much you need to see it again?

[Tom_Cody]

I finally was able to watch the Avengers on Saturday, and then I went and saw it again on Sunday. Mark Ruffalo definitely stole the show.

If they do end up making a new Hulk film (which I'm praying they do), I hope it will draw heavily upon Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine (sans Wolverine of course).

[Hawkian]

What has Hulk gotten himself into there...

[Mr. Sam]

Would make a great throwaway scene in Avengers 2.

NO MORE DEAD COPS HULK MOVIES.

[AVclub]

How could he possibly still be angry?

[Hot Coldman]

So I bought a big book of Thor stories. I guess the fact I finally stopped going "hey I should read a comic sometime" and actually went out and bought one says a lot about this film's effect on me.

It has Ballad of Beta Ray Bill, so I'm pretty pumped to finally read that.

[Tobor]

How could he possibly still be angry?

That's his secret, AVclub. He's always angry.

[KevinCow]

I wonder why the chick in his hand is the only one who looks pissed off.

This movie has had me reading a ton of stuff I kept telling myself I'd get to. Read Infinity Gauntlet over the weekend. Reading Extremis as we speak.

Either he's crushing her spine, or she wants the rest of those bitches to leave so she can get some of that good Hulk lovin'.

Love how they all have amazing ass and tits.

Only the best for the Hulk.

[Good Job Bob]

Reading Extremis as we speak.

I wish the paperback was available at Amazon. :(

[Hawkian]

I wonder if this will produce a notable uptick in sales of Marvel back issues? If it's anything like a substantially increase, that will really say more than any box office numbers ever could.

[Tom_Cody]

This movie has had me reading a ton of stuff I kept telling myself I'd get to. Read Infinity Gauntlet over the weekend. Reading Extremis as we speak.

Is there actually a readable (practically speaking) version of this? I had thought the Infinity Gauntlet story-line was one of Marvel's massive crossover events.
