Civil War #1 *Spoilers*

[Nick Kal]

Is there a thread for the actual issue or does that review thing count as the thread? A mod can move it?

So I picked this up because it looked like it would be interesting... and it was!

We all know how it starts... with the New Warriors. (Speedball is confirmed as dead, btw, later on in the issue.)

Then heroes clean up after the big Stamford incident and we see a few survivors... but a lot of people died. There is a funeral service where a mother yells at Tony Stark and spits in his face for funding the Avengers and promoting the right for young kids to think it's cool to be a hero.

Cut to Johnny Storm headed to a night club where he gets attacked by some angry people and has to be hospitalized after not only getting a bottle cracked on his head, but having the people stomb on him.

Heroes meet in the Baxter Building to discuss the situation... the government is ready to pass the registration... and the heroes are deciding if they'll go with it or not. You can see sides forming... Spidey seems to be Anti-Registration... but can Stark change his mind? Also, Daredevil is there... flipping a coin (hmmm)...

Then (my favorite part!!!), Captain America has a face off with SHIELD Commander Hill, and it eventually results in him having to beat down a whole lot of SHIELD Officers when he doesnt want to agree to the registratipon...

So The President says Cap is in the underground and anti-registration has a figurehead... but Iron-Man, Mr. Fantastic & Hank Pym (Yellow Jacket) say to leave Cap to them...

TO BE CONTINUED!

It was a decent start... not everything I wanted, but Millar will bring it up as the stroy progresses.

Do we find out who the surviving New Warrior is in this issue?

(Hhmm... This sounds like more of a set-up issue than I would have expected.)

I didn't know it was possible to get new comics before wednesday.

This sounds interresting. I have some questions though. I thought Daredevil was in jail. And I was also under the impression that the Stamford incident was called The Riverside incedent. And how could Johnny Storm get taken down by civilians?

[Nick Kal]

We don't know who survived from teh New Warriors.

There are 2 Daredevils running around... Or Matt Murdock is in jail, rather, and someone is playing Daredevil on the outside... though why he would be invited to a gathering of heroes is weird to me...

I don't recall what the incident is called now and my comics are away...

Also, Johnny was just talking and his head got smacked with a bottle.. then a mob of people held him down and beat on him.

So this story ties into Brubaker's two Daredevil story. That's kinda what I was expecting.

*Groan.* Lame. How do they rationalize that one given his powers?

EDIT:
Except, wait (Amazing Spider-Man spoilers henceforth)...

spoilers:

Where does it confirm his death, since that seems to be entirely contrary to the fact that he is supposedly incarcerated in Amazing Spider-Man #531?

[Hi-Fi]

Any X-Men or Runaways cameo yet?


PS: Nick, you and your advanced reviews rock.

Also, Daredevil is there... flipping a coin (hmmm)...

I knew it! The new Daredevil is Harvey Dent! :)

Sounds like a good issue. Shame I have hours to wait until I can read it.

Gasp! The Crisis has finally arrived at the MU...oh wait, Superboy Prime punched again.

Can't wait for this tomorrow!

[Haunt]

in the story, who is it that says that Speedball is dead? i'm betting that it's a need-to-know situation and Robbie is under witness protection. probably a good idea when you consider what happend to Johnny (i was totally right about that one). Sue's next.

They said he was responsible for it. I don't recall them saying he was apprehended.

[Coolrush]

Here's hoping the New Warrior survivor is Namorita. :) Shes one of the few New Warriors I actually like.
