  • There is a Civil War going on in my pants.....

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

no. it was insipidly retarded and had no ending. The only good parts of it were tie-ins other people were writing and for the most part the only good one of those was Iron Man. Civil War was the worst thing to happen to Marvel in a long time.....well, until it lead into scret invasion......which lead into Dark Reign. because obviously Norman Osborn being a high ranking member of the government and leader of Shield is a great idea.

yeah marvel isn't getting a lot of my money these days outside of the awesomeness of the cosmic space stuff like Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy...

All I read from Marvel is eXiles (since it's a What-If almost), Wolverine, Wolverine: Origins, and Astonishing Xmen just cuz I like the writing and art.

There's a lot more coming from DC and other smaller publishers.

I was really enjoying post-civil war Spider-Man until they fucked it the hell up with the arc where his entire history gets fucking erased. Fuck!

I'm with you. it's sales numbers since then outside of the obama issue have been hilarious.....it had a faster sales plummet than countdown and countdown is the worst creative disaster DC has ever produced. That went weekly from 100k down to 70k at the end....the new tri monthly spider man went from huge sales numbers and is getting close to dropping below 50. it's hilarious. they actually sell less average per issue than when they had 3 spider titles coming out every month where amazing was consistently a high seller, spectacular which was a mid range and friendly neighborhood which was terrible sales. so in their effort to make more money they actually ended up making less now than they did before when the idea of a marriage was boggin gthe creativeity of the book down as they would have said ti....I find it hilarious....

Well I loved the first one. It looks like you can link powers with teammates and make the powers have a difference effect which is neat.
