The Civil War was a big disappointment... (spoilers) Anonymous 2016-04-11 00:56:44 Post No. 81679971 [Report]

I was rushing to finish the entire arc as the movie is coming out soon and I wanted to see what the original source material was like before the movie ruins my expectations.

It was an enjoyable read but the quality was very erratic. Some parts I truly enjoyed (the main conflict, the entire political drama around Speedball, Sally Floyd/Ben Urich ). And there were others that made me want to give up on life (Guggenheim Wolverine chapters, Runaways chapters, any "poem" chapter comparing the struggle to 9/11 and other horrific events, etc.). The ending also was extremely short and anti-climatic to the point where I questioned why I just spent the last month reading the entire thing for it to end on such a crappy note.

What were the reactions comic fans had to the Civil War arc when it came out back in the day? Which storylines did they like the most? Did they like the ending?

Comic fans despised it and thought it was horrible. Casuals fucking loved it and think it's one of the best comics ever.

These reactions have continued on ever since.

Civil War is nothing like the comic. The only similar thing is the name.

I'm fairly certain you could read the entire book in less than an hour, why on earth did it take you so long?

Basically this
It's a subpar to mediocre book if you completely ignore that the characters portrayed in it all have long and storied histories
It's absolute trash if you don't

Sounds like he read the entire event + tie-ins, not just the main series.

I get it, though. Not everyone has time to read posts.

You had me until you said you enjoyed Sally Floyd. It was good bait otherwise. All. Airs should have basis in truth.

what? but the complete thing can take you like 5-6 hours max. OP probably can't read or some shit like that.
