Civil War #5 review (spoiler free)

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

Hey gang,

Pipeline will be updated this afternoon with my review of CIVIL WAR #5. It's spoiler free.

This is the quickest turnaround EVER from the time someone dropped a PDF file in my mail box to the time I wrote and sent CBR a review. heh heh

You and your industry connections!

I'm still amazed at how much I have been enjoying Civil War. Even more than House of M, it has rekindled my love of the Marvel Universe and I can't wait for the titles (Mighty Avengers being chief among them) that Joe Q has been hyping for months for the post-CW MU.

The review is now up at the top of the Pipeline column. http://pipeline.comicbookresources.com will get you there.

Yeah, it's a giddy good read, this issue. And I do think it might be the best art from McNiven thus far, just in that he gets to draw so many cool characters.

This is just a good Pipeline day -- wait till you hear the podcast tonight. . .

AAaaaarrrgghhh - just read the review. Even with it being spoiler free (which is how I like it), tomorrow can't come soon enough! Popcultureshock had a preview up this morning (which I'll admit I was going to take a peak at), but it has already been taken down at the request of Marvel.

Do I need to have been reading Amazing Spider-man to follow what is going on? Should I bother picking up the last few issues, or will I be okay without it?

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

You don't NEED to read AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. There's a couple of lines of dialogue that neatly sum up how Spider-Man got to the point he's at in the beginning of the issue.

That said -- I think it does flesh out the story an awful lot.

Did you DCBS this book? If so, you be crazy!

Trip - Yes, I did. But I get weekly shipping so I don't have to wait long. I probablly wouldn't hit my comic shop today anyhow, because I was just there on Friday and it's in Boston (near Fenway Park) and I'm in Waltham which is 20-25 minutes away. Then I have to drive back out to Norwood, where I live.

Every Tuesday I get an email from DCBS that a label has been printed up to ship a box out to me with a tracking #. The boxes usually arrive on Monday afternoons. So all I have to do is be careful on the news boards and I'll make it!

OK - now that's a haul just to get to your LCS. If that's the case, then I can understand your love of DCBS.

One thing is for sure, the transit time between IN to MA and IN to CA is much different. I still use DCBS for some stuff, but it sometimes takes up to 1 week to get my box of goodies.

Btw, Civil War #5 was really good and that's all I'm going to say about here in this thread!

[pmpknface]

Yeah, I've gotten things as fast as on the THURSDAY after they arrived on Wed! How, I have no idea. Once I forgot to check off the "Weekly Shipping" box and nearly had a convulsion waiting so long. But it was cool getting a GIANT box at the end of the month.

Ooooo........ you tease me.... BAD TRIP! VERY BAD! :mad:

I read it again tonight and it was just as good as the first go round! :p
