Read this before the next Captain America Movie
The Marvel movies made a big impact to the film industry. Following the last Avengers: Age of Ultron and Antman, the next release will be Captain America: Civil War. The movie will be based on this graphic novel.[Possible spoliers - read at own risk]The story is written by Mark Millar and the main artist for the book is Steven McNiven; there is a list of other artists who were involved with the inking and colouring as well. I will try and not give away as much of the book as possible, but the graphic novel tells the story of the division between Marvel Universe's Superheroes fighting over the protection of their identity. The 2 main characters are Ironman and Captain America and you will get to see some of the more obscure characters like Spiderwoman.Storyline is probably one of my favourite as well as you genuinely don't know what will happen next. Usual Marvel comic (any kind of books with villians to be honest) it's good guys vs bad guys, however this is not the case. In terms of visual, the team did a fantastic job every page stands out, you can take some good inspiration from them and it makes you want to read it over and over again.If you want to read the comic before going to see the next Captain America movie, then this is the book to read.

Nice art and story but fell flat for me
This book has an interesting and original concept but the dialogue fell a little flat. I was definitely a fan of the art work and storyline though.I would also like to add that my book arrived damaged with heavy creases, the booked looked and felt used even though it was new. The handling of this shipment could have been better

Unbelievably good!
I heard nothing short of stellar reviews of Civil War and wasted no time in buying myself a copy. Even though I could have borrowed my brother's copy, I just needed one for myself. Mark Millar's work is excellent throughout and it had one of the best stories I have read in any Avengers comic and I have read hundreds of them by now! This contained a high number of Marvel heavy hitters including the Fantastic Four and the X-Men. What I like about Marvel's big events is that they contain a seismic event which somehow warrants the appearance of several characters. That is just one aspect of Civil War that I really enjoyed. The fact that good guys went up against other good guys was another facet of Civil War that proved too enticing.

if you were a super...which side would you take?!
After reading Mark Millars - Superman Red Son, I couldn't wait to get my hands on an other one of Millars titles that wasn't kickass.The story is told from both sides of this 'Civil War'. It kinda makes you think and almost pick a side, I thought I would dislike Stark, but you try to see the story from his point of view, it was almost impossible not to understand why he thought he was right. At the same time, the Rebels lead by Captain America had their own ideas about the government Registration Act. Clashes, Revelations, Death and Side Changes, a really good read, especially if you want to see it how it should be before the Movie adaptation has a take on it.

Team Cap or Team Iron Man?
With the hype for the upcoming MCU movie, I felt that I should go back to source to see what the fuss was all about. As a long time fan of Marvel in general but not a huge comic reader, I was unsure what to expect but was pleasantly suprised.A coherant (mostly) plot that was exciting and containing many fan favourite characters...such as The Punisher who is always a favourite and who appears in a very important scene!The artwork is fantastic and the writing also so no real issues here apart from the plot rushing over some things and not properly explaining itself at the very beginning or end.

Great Stuff
Came to this trade paperback as many of you reading this will; a complete philistine of the comic book world looking for the basis of the upcoming Captain America: Civil War film. As a complete newcomer to the genre with just the MCU behind my belt I had no problems getting to grips with the characters, their dynamics and enjoying the rich, deep world they all inhabit.Again, I can't compare to the 'greats' of the genre, but as a casual superhero fan I loved the artwork, story and was really struck by some of the cliffhangers. I bought this gem for £5 and if it's still at this really low price I can't recommend you buy it fast enough.

one of the best story lines of the last few decades
A super powered battle in Stamford has resulted in several 100 deaths andthe political cowards in the US quickly sign in to law The Super human Registration Act.(SRA)All heroes must work for the government and reveal there identity or face arrest.Captain America and his friend reject the law and decide to fight the US government and Shield,Stark ,Reed Richards and his cronies hate the law too But have too much to lose so they go along with it.What follows is a series of arguments and brawls between former best friends on opposite side of a moral quandary.I highly recommend this book .May require some of the build up,tie ins to make some sense of it all to noobs

Poor quality item
Story and artwork are really good. The only problem I have is the quality of the actual book.the art paper pages on the first half of the book are wrinkled ,obviously stored poorly but more problematic is the fact that a lot of pages are guillotined incorrectly resulting in whole sentences being cut in half...dissapointing for the money
