The alleged core of Civil War is a collage of moments designed to make you go "oooo" while the thousands of other titles are where you must look for any kind of sustance. Great idea. Choppy and shallow execution. I totally agree with you Robert.

Time to put out, Millar, or I'll find another writer who will. Yeah, I’ve come to the conclusion that exhilarating splash pages aside, Civil War is a big tease.

It infects nearly every Marvel book, to the point where, even if you dont want to, you have to read CW because guess what? Its showing up in your book. It seems like Mark Millar has written this book around a few "cool" scenes he came up with. Every issue, there's about 26-30 pages of filler, with about 4 pages of something cool. While I wasnt crazy about HOM, at least that mini didnt infect other Marvel titles. Everything was kept seperate, in their own mini's. Civil War is a pox on Marvel.
