Technically a villain, albeit more of an antivillain lately.
Tho I wouldn't be shocked if there's a panel or an issue somewhere...
Just want to point out that I started this. Please let me have my Xbone moment.

I was just thinking of how the Xbone thing started, lol. It really is just such a natural contraction.

who told BKV that niggas liked the time travel bits in Paper Girls and that he should focus on that like all the time
cuz they lied

read 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank
China? Interesting. Same powers?
New Avengers, Amazing Spider-man, and Extraordinary X-men are all dumpster-tier books so far on MU, Spidey made the list with issue #5 closing out the first waste of an arc.
Really, who relaunches a book to have a crap Zodiac arc?
Vision #3 and All New Wolverine #3 were the positives from my MU reading. Darth Vader #15 closing out the Vader Down crossover was another average installment. Deadpool started strong but then fizzled.
I'm ready for Marvel Now, surely all of these books will start off with a strong premise. It's not like there's going to be a bunch of gunman books.

It's the first issue, so it's an intro story, but it's a really fun book.

Early to say, but probably.
We don't really know yet. This first issue was mainly just set up for the new character until the last few pages.

My prediction is that
Hawkeye will be innocent.
Also what's the likelihood that Hulk will be brought back somehow?

In the Pre-SW Hulk run by Duggan.
I think that's accurate, but again in theory. If I can prevent theft I'll prevent theft. However, it becomes problematic when said theft is profiling which is where I personally draw the line. In this instance, I would agree that we should see how it plays out and minimize interference. The latest issue of of Ms. Marvel actually deals with this well.
However, in the case of a pre-established villain or someone like Black Cat that becomes instantly grey. I can't say I know the right approach in that situation.

Wow, the main story in CWII Choosing Sides 2 was actually really good. Not as much Amerikate as I would have liked, but still really touching, and wonderfully drawn and colored.
Oh, sorry, I forgot were doing gif reviews now.

There are a lot of weird characters in that fight if you think about who is missing, but it seems to me like they just didn't have much time. Present are the Ultimates, the members of the Inhumans delegation that are with the Ultimates when Ulysses has the vision of Thanos, War Machine who is also there, as well as the Human Torch (who is dating Medusa) and the members of A-Force, the other team Carol is on. I'm guessing they contacted the people they were able to get in touch with the fastest and went in.
That's... insane. I mean I have trouble believing that they weren't able to contact Tony and co in the event of a Thanos level threat.

Haha, I'd love to see Carol try and force Panther to do shit.
Sure, but I mean that's the thing. Every time the Ultimates fuck up, it's on all of them.
My single favorite panel of the entire ANAD relaunch. What an evil piece of shit.
The Kraven thing from Standoff was pretty great.

What was up with the second story?
Didn't
Goliath die in the first Civil War?

That's a cute one. Definitely top 5 of all these HQ cover reveals.

Man, how many times are Ulysses' predictions going to be turn out to be self fulfilling prophecies like in Civil War II Spider-man #2?
I feel like I might be on Iron Man's side after reading that issue.
Okay, that makes sense. Though I'm still not 100% sure what happened in his Choosing Sides arc, the art is not very helpful.

If Peter didn't get antsy and ask Clayton about his feelings, he wouldn't have investigated in his room.

I'm pretty sure he was locked up, approached by someone, and then set free?

Looks like they might be going to see Gertrude in that one.

So, is Sharon Rogers a new thing or what? This sword/shield combo is throwing me off. Very anime.

Despite everything, I've been enjoying Civil War II the same way you would enjoy a dumb popcorn movie. It's certainly better than the original event.
buttttttttt when i rent dumb movies it's usually through Redbox for $2.
I don't think it would be possible for me to enjoy Civil War 2 outside of MU.
Oh definitely. I will keep reading.
Now that I think about it, this comic reminds of Armageddon, that one movie Michael Bay did. Every line that is written here is sooooo dramatic when it really doesn't have to be.

Did you hear Aerosmith in your head while reading it?
Yeah, this one actually managed to get people arguing over sides rather than having a side people would obviously be against.

BookDepository says Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman Vol 1 TPB includes #195-213, yet the official DC website says it includes #195-205 + the Hiketeia.
Are there two versions of this tpb? Or is BookDepository lyin?

Whaaa? I thought people liked the original?
MCU GAF has deceived you.
All joking aside: No, while it is hugely popular, people thought it was dumb and hate the effect it had on the MU after it ended.

The original managed to briefly plummet my interest in comics. I never want to read DC's Identity Crisis in fear of the same thing happening.

I don't remember how people felt at the time, but I feel like now the general consensus is that it's almost all together bad and kind of ruined Tony's character until the movies changed him.
I also feel like it's a terrible book as an entry into comics, but Marvel keeps pitching it as a gateway.
All I remember was that discussion on internet forums was rampant and nothing else mattered except Civil War.
