The New Avengers are not friends anymore. This occurs during one of the biggest events of all time. Civil War! In doing so this is jut a bunch of stories, different ones, all in one collection. Got a story of Spider-woman and what she's been up to. Luke Cage is settling down and fighting back against the orders of the government. Cap and Falcon working together to finally decide on saying "No" to Shield. And the end story is closer to the end of Civil War time where Tony is attacked by one of hi...
The Civil War concept is a fascinating idea, but I'm not a huge fan of the execution. I don't think a lot of the issues are explored in enough depth, and a lot of the heroes range from mildly to wildly out of character.Also, some of the art is really not good. In particular, I thought that the illustrations for issue 21 were downright ugly.
There. I did it. I’ve finally read all of Marvel’s Civil War volumes. If there’s a Civil War: Aunt May’s Oat Cakes volume or a Civil War: H.E.R.B.I.E. - Sexbot book out there, I don’t want to know about it. Okay, maybe I’d read the latter volume.You do realize that there’s a Civil War II event?Shaddup!!!This one’s a grab bag of stories about different heroes and how they’re affected by the Superhuman Registration Act (SRA, so I don’t have to type the whole damned thing out again). All the storie...
Talk about uneven. At times fun & interesting, at other times boring, this Civil War tie-in features a different artist for each issue collected in it. At least the Good outweighs the Bad.High points Issue 21 (Howard Chaykin on art duties): Captain America & Falcon meet up and try & recruit Hank Pym to their side, not knowing he's already joined up with Iron Man's team. Funniest line in the book (by Falcon, to Pym): "C'mon Hank. Get your costume, grab some ants and let's go!" (or something along...
Don't like this as much as the other Civil War stuff I just read, but it's passable. Bendis' writing is good, but I like his X-Men stuff better than his Avengers stuff. And Chaykin drawing the Avengers is just... weird.I do really like #22, which centers on Luke Cage resisting the Superhuman Registration Act in Harlem, and #25, which gets inside Tony Stark's head a bit, but the rest of it I could take or leave.Recommended if you're a die-hard Avengers fan, I guess.
Decent, but I don't like the shift between volume 4 and this volume. It was too abrupt and there wasn't enough cohesion. It was like someone wanted to do a Civil War insert and this was it. There is some continuity, but it doesn't feel like it has good flow.
I reallyyy don't know?!? The stories in this are just snippets from different characters' stories. I enjoyed the Luke Cage and Iron Man issues and Spider Woman was interesting too, I didn't really care for the others (especially the Sentry issue, I had no idea what was going on and skimmed over it).It was nice to get some more insight to Cap's perspective and if I wasn't loyalty-bound to Tony I'd probably be team Cap too. (Because well, he's right. But his methods are over the top. But then, so
2nd Reading, Feb '13: There are some good moments in here, but it's clear all the really important stuff is going on in other books. And this book isn't helped by some wildly inconsistent art. You could safely skip this volume in the Civil War series, and if you're reading New Avengers, just read the main Civil War book instead.
As Bendis is wont to do during these big events, he's turned the book into an anthology series this volume with a bunch of stand alone stories focusing on each member of the Avengers. The stories are a mixed bag with the Luke Cage and Iron Man stories standing out.
Some major cracks in New Avengers formed here and it would be a long time before the franchise overcame them. At least from a structural standpoint, these issues had an advantage to future event cross-overs. As a series of character-focused vignettes set during Civil WarThis stretch of New Avengers suffered from the same glaring flaw as Civil War, but did a far less elegant job of managing it. Marvel wanted the buzz of basing a major cross-over on events with real world resonance, but then almos...
Each issue of this collection takes us a little deeper into the personal stories of five superheroes coping with the Superhero Registration Act. We get to see the reason why each hero chooses which side of the Civil War to fight on.The Sentry and Iron Man issues are okay, a little choppy and rushed, but okay. The Sentry's story actually added more insight into why the Inhumans are at war with Earth than it did to the Civil War story. The Iron Man story just gives you one more reason to dislike T...
I read this as individual issues, and they all tell one person's story in the midst of Civil War. Great stuff.
In this TPB there were only 2 stories that I cared for. Issues #22 and #23. The other 3 stories felt lacking in a few ways that just had me wanting to turn the page to look at the art (and sometimes not). No more than 3 out of 5 for this set.
Each issue in this is about a different character. It takes place at the very beginning of the Civil War event. The first issue is about Captain America's issues and how he recruits Falcon. The second issue is about the recruitment of Luke Cage. The third issue is about Spider-Woman's arrest and how she was then recruited to the anti-reg side. The fourth issue was about Sentry and the Inhumans. The final issue was about Tony Stark being attacked by an employee.Really nothing special about this,
My rating is 3.5 stars.This is a collection that tells how the Civil War is affecting each Avenger. It is basically an anthology where each section is devoted to one particular Avenger. They all do connect and the reader does get to see that. This collection shows the affects on Captain America, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, Sentry, and Iron Man.I am the type of reader that when a book is being made into a movie I have to read the book first and then I have to read everything connected to it. That is...
If you don't read this graphic novel, you won't miss anything that's absolutely vital to knowing or understanding what happened in the Civil War thread. That being said, it's a solid read, providing yet more perspectives and bits featuring different characters and their reactions/struggles with the Superhero Registration Act.
This was another great one and ties into the Civil war event so well and like every issue has another POV character and I love how Bendis does that and it all feels so natural.It starts with Cap and him talking about his stance and how Super heroes are supposed to be better than corporate stooges and his conflict and him forming a team of resistance and like taking the fight to them but the next ch. with Luke Cage is my favorite one and its one of those issues that define him and I love how Bend...
Nick Fury switches ethnicities and suddenly Jessica Jones doesn’t have a baby by him in between two consecutive issues. WTF???That ret-con was so hard, I got whiplash
I liked the Civil War event and have enjoyed pretty much all of the tie in stuff I've read, but this was pretty damn disappointing. Maybe it was because I had such high expectations with this series having so many of the major players in the events.This volume is a bunch of separate one off stories chronological the going abouts of different New Avengers during the Civil War. None of the stories really jumped out at me and it left me just kind of wishing I had re-read Civil War instead of this.
This is just a collection of stories about how individual characters see the civil war, it was honestly not a vital part of the story.
