Customer review of: Civil War: Amazing Spider-Man Customer Rating: Summary: Before the Fall, A Hero's Choice Comment: Before "One More Day" put a stain on the Spider-Man mythos, Spider-Man had to deal with the consequences of his decisions in Marvel's Civil War. These issues collected from the Civil War event show Peter reaching out to Tony Stark as a father figure, hoping for stability in his life only to realize he's chosen the wrong role model. Of course there is also the lead-up to Spider-Man's unmasking, which is very well done. There is a great moment where Peter, May and M.J. discuss the implications of revealing Spider-Man's identity to the world that is particularly emotional. A great collection of fantastic stories. Customer Rating: Summary: Good...Not great though. Comment: I enjoyed seeing Peter once again fight internally. The choices are hard and when you come down to it. The way Peter reacted is the way most people would. But at the same time the fighting is cheap. Seems like just adding it in for 2 pages and then another 20 pages of dialog. Though i love a good spidy story this one wasn't amazing. While entertaining it didn't make me go "Whoa!" And the unviewling was amazing back then but reading it again feels weak. So though the ending was great it was the best spidy novel. Customer Rating: Summary: outstanding story Comment: Spider-Man Civil War is a must have for any new or old Spider-Man fan. The story of Peter Parker's struggle with the law and what is right or wrong was incredible. I actually became a regular Spider-Man comic book collector from reading this book. If you liked this graphic novel I would also suggest Spider-Man: Back in Black. Customer Rating: Summary: great addition Comment: THis is a great addition to both Peter's story and the Marvel Civil War storyline. I'd like to go on about it, but there isn't much I can say that hasn't been said. Customer Rating: Summary: Probably the most Important Civil War Tie-In Comment: Heroes are fighting heroes and Marvel's everyman is stuck in the centre of it all. This tie-in feels organic, since Spider-Man is one of the main players in the Civil War mini-series, but its still just an average Spidey story. I enjoyed this book quite a bit, as it focuses a lot on Spider-Man as a character and gives him the extra-focus he deserves for being such a vital character in the main Civil War mini. Spidey is characterized well through most of the book, the only part that felt out of place was the unmasking, which did make Spidey a bit irresponsible, though one can argue that MJ and Aunt May influenced him to do this. I was amongst one of the few who thought the unmasking was an interresting idea which opens many possibilities to Spidey's future (even though it stuck around for such a short period of time), but it is not explored in this collection, since this side of the story is explored on the two other spidey titles (Sensational and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man), which is a shame, because I hoped we'd get some in-depth exploration here. The inclusion of the Kingpin sub-plot, may feel random, but the Kingpin had threathen to make Spidey pay had he made one mistake, back in Amazing Spider-Man two hundred and something (I think). The art by Ron Garney gets better at the story progresses, but overall its very competent, my only complaints would be the Mary Jane, at the start of the storyline, because she looks extremely ugly and that some shots of Spidey webslinging look a bit too stiff for such a fluid character as Spider-Man. The action sequences look great tho and so do the backgrounds. The colours by Matt Milla are also very pleasant to look at, he is not Isanove, but he is very good at what he does, I especially love how he colours the night sequences. My main problem with this collection was the end, Issue 1 to 6 were solid (despite, becoming somewhat fillers towards teh end), but the last part of the storyline is painful to read, its just unengaging and we dont get the proper end to Civil War, just a bunch of criminals seing it on TV, and the TPB ends with a plot device that has been used too many times through Spider-Man history and it will lead to the worst Spider-Man storyline ever to be created. While I enjoyed "Amazing Spider-Man: Civil War", it would not be a book I'd recommend to anyone, people who enjoyed Civil War and are looking to buy some tie-ins, should get this and read the first 6 parts of it, as they togheter make this book one of the most solid Civil War tie-ins out there. Spider-Man fans might also enjoy this book, as it opens up new and important plot possibilities for the character. "Amazing Spider-Man: Civil War" excels in character development, and it gives Spider-Man the spotlight he deserves in Marvel's big summer event, the book also makes Tony Stark seem like a complete dictator, though I have no problem with that as it is told by Spidey's perspective. The story falls short in terms of action, which despite being the strongest aspect of Garney's work, doesn't happen too often and in conclusion, which I already mentioned is weak and almost painful to read
Editorial Reviews: Life couldn't be more complicated - or more dangerous - for Peter Parker. After rushing to the aftermath of the Stamford Massacre to offer aid to its victims, Peter travels with Tony Stark to Washington, D.C., and the White House - where the enactment of the Super Hero Registration Act appears imminent. As the Marvel Universe braces for the implications of legislation that will forever change the societal status of super heroes, Peter is forced to make an important personal decision - maybe the most important decision of his life. As Civil War tears apart the super hero community, will Spidey stay true to that decision? Collects Amazing Spider-Man #532-538.
