Marvel ComicsCivil War (Marvel Comics)

À l'approche du film très bientôt en salles j'ai voulu lire le comic de base. Il est juste génial. L'histoire est captivante et recherché avec une vraie morale. Je préfère lire en anglais parce que ça fait plus vrai et aussi tout simplement parce que ça me fait progresser. Sans vous cacher que je suis du côté d'IRON MAN, je suis vraiment satisfait.

Me llamo la atención, en primer lugar, el precio del producto. Cierto es que estaba en inglés, pero en español ronda sobre el doble. Era la primera vez que compraba este tipo de novelas en inglés y creía que iba a estar la mayoría del tiempo buscando en el diccionario, ya que en este tipo de novelas son muy dadas a las abreviaciones de las expresiones. Para mi sorpresa, he entendido a la perfección cada viñeta y si estás dudando en comprártelo por el idioma, te aconsejo que lo hagas. Está presentado en un formato de pasta blanda que, para mi gusto, lo hace más versátil. En cuanto al envío, rápido y en perfecto estado. Recomiendo esta novela. Confío que se establezca como obra magna de Marvel apoyada por el estreno la nueva película.

Veramente un fumetto eccezionale, disegni meravigliosi ed una storia che ti tiene avvinghiato fino all'ultima tavola. Lo suggerisco a tutti gli amanti del genere.

Wie der Titel schon sagt, ein absolutes Muss für Fans con Marvel bzw. Comic Buch Fans im Allgemeinen. Man hat den Comic recht flott durchgelesen, dafür vergisst man ihn aber nicht so schnell wieder!

Civil War opens with a horrific event. A team of teen heroes, working on a reality tv show, go after some villains way beyond their capability. A school full of children is destroyed when the Nitro unleashes an enormous explosion. In the wake of the tragedy, the US government responds to public pressure by passing the Superhero Registration Act (SHRA) - all superpowered people must now register with, work for, and be accountable to, the Federal government. This Act divides the heroes for and against the law: Tony Stark's Iron Man in support of it, and Captain America in opposition to it. The creators of Civil War tried keep the story from being black and white. There's supposed to be no "villain," just two groups divided over opinion. However, I don't think they fully succeeded in doing so. Tony is not evil, but he is WRONG. Cap's people are technically criminals, breaking the law. But, just because a law exists does not make it right or just. The government sanctioned internment camps for Japanese citizens during WWII, and Prohibition seemed like a good idea. But, people are trading freedom for security (something the Civil War writers specifically mention in the commentary). Though Cap is on the wrong side of the law, it is Tony's pro-SHRA side that makes the morally questionable decisions - like cloning Thor and forcing/using supervillains to hunt down Cap and his colleagues. The writers tried to paint Tony as making a difficult choice because he believes in it. Instead, it was more like acting out of guilt and ego; losing the adulation of the public was as horrific for him as the innocent deaths. Tony, unlike many heroes, is shielded from the more severe consequences of the SHRA. He's still rich; he'll not be the hero on street that has to be licensed to break up a mugging. He (and Reed) will run things from inside the ivory tower; they will still exercise power. I don't think Tony came off as a villain, but I do think he came across as weak and cowardly. He's a futurist, but it is always a future he builds and controls. For Cap, popularity has never been a goal, or even a benefit. He fights for what is right, and it is wrong to force people to work for the government because of gifts/skills they possess. Should all expert marksmen have to join the military? Or geniuses forced to work in government labs? Taking away freedom may provide security, but then you have the House of M. I do feel the writers stayed true to the characters. Cap and Tony's thoughts and actions make sense, as do their allies (even to some side-switching). Further, the conclusion was the only one that could work. ***SPOILER*** Registration has to prevail, or the crossover would have been meaningless; the status quo would not have changed. Civil War is downright depressing at moments, seeing these heroes fight their friends, but it is also a superb piece of writing. I look forward to seeing how the chips fall in the Marvel Universe. The first half of the Civil War hardcover collection is the main event. The second half of the collection has bonus materials which include: an interview with the creators, some fake newspaper articles and headlines covering the Registration act, as well as the full script of Civil War. The script section was especially enlightening as it includes commentary from the creators interspersed throughout. Readers learn why certain things unfolded as they did, why some panels were drawn the way they were, and more importantly, what the creators feel Cap and Tony were thinking during the story. Overall, this event was downright amazing and I look forward to reading the tie-ins. Highly recommended!
