Civil War: X-Men

Civil War: A Marvel Comics Event

by David Hine, Peter David, Fabian Nicieza

Enough is enough! The tension between the X-Men, the refugees of the 198 and the Offi ce of National Emergency's Sentinel guard dogs has fi nally reached a breaking point. As the superhuman Civil War rips apart the Marvel Universe, the X-Men also fi nd themselves crumbling from the inside out. Will they admit defeat, or will they fi nally start to fi ght back? As a very prominent member of the team breaks ranks to join the Pro-Registration movement, and a member of the 198 plots bloody vengeance from within, the original X-Men go rogue in search of the truth.

A slight volume. As a fan of X-Men through the films I thought I would dip into the comics. This volume.only contains 4 X-Men issues from the Civil War event, which are solid enough. X-Factor issues feel weak filler, the Deadpool is entertaining, but not what the title suggests the collection will be about.

It's actually 2.5 stars but hey, I round down. I've been reading the Civil War collected editions but I haven't followed the Marvel Universe in almost two decades so some of the back-plot was hard to follow (or missed entirely).
Art-wise there were some good highlights but also some not very good ones.

This covers what is happening with the X-Men during the time of "Civil War" - but they are not dealing with the registration, they are dealing with the fall-out after "House of M." Contains issues from X-Men, X-Factor, and Deadpool/Cable. And I found it dull reading.

Awesome book.

[Judah Radd · Rating 2 out of 5]

So mediocre.

The X-Men main tie-in was the best part of this book, and it was ok at best. The final act had some thrills... but it was an overall disappointing diversion. It squandered some major potential (I mean... fuck! M-Day + The Civil War? Shit is popping off! So why does it all feel so small and insignificant?

The X-Factor issues were just completely boring. No fun. Dumb dialogue, boring story... a waste. Also, awful art.

And the Deadpool story was just a trite exercise in Deadpool doing cliche Deadpool shit. WE GET IT! You know you’re in a comic. Fourth wall broken. Whoopdy fucking doo.

This is a disappointing book. You may as well skip it.

Deadpool was a fun part.
