Peniciller: Steve McNiven
Okay, okay, I get it. The stuff about "an even portrayal of both sides" was nothing but empty talk from Marvel. Finally it's crystal clear: The pro-regs are nothing but EVIL! I mean wtf: Cloning Thor? Seek the help from supervillians? Tony and Reed act like fucking Dr. Doom! Apart from that: pretty enjoyable issue...
RATING: C+

Perfect, just perfect. Wolverine tackles his next target: Damage Control. This company seems to be behind some of the events of "Civil War". Marc Guggenheim continues to deliver the best of all tie-ins. The scenes of Wolverine doing detective work and delivering carnage are pure win!
RATING: A
Writer: J. Michael Straczynski
Peniciller: Ron Garney
Who are these people looking like Tony Stark and Reed Richards? These are not the heroes I used to know, but fascist idiots! And yes, I get it, Tony's super-prison is like Guantanamo. Is it possible to play out a metaphor more obviously? On the positive side: Peter Parker gets back to his normal self.
RATING: D
Writer: Paul Jenkins
Peniciller: Ramon Bachs, Steve Lieber, Lee Weeks, Jorge Lucas
The depiction of the wannabe-Guantanamo is so inconsistent with "AMS #535"! Instead of a high-tech-facility in Jenkins portrays it as some kind of fascist third-world-coop. Lazy... Surprisingly I didn't hate Speedball this time, but the reporters' party was way too decompressed. And the poem was an effrontry!

After two crappy tie-ins, this one is a relief! Most of the issue is dedicated to one big action scene in which both teams get their asses handed by Marvel Boy - some of the protagonists get caught. In the natural progression of team-ups, they decide to bond and work together. Looking forward to the conclusion!
RATING: B
Writer:Ed Brubaker
Peniciller: Mike Perkins
Brubaker - as usual - absoluty delivers! Finally somebody was able to tell a balanced story from the persperctive of the pro-regs, as Agent 13 gets all the spotlight in this issue. We get great scenes with Maria Hill, Dum Dum Dugan and Captain America. Great tie-in!
RATING: A
Writer:J. Michael Straczynski
Peniciller: Mike McKone
What a piece of shit! Not only do the events in this issue contradict what happens in the main events, above all the dialogues are beyond cheesy. I'm really pissed at JMS that I had to sit through Reed's awful speech a second time after AMS #535. By far the worst tie-in!
RATING: E
Writer: Paul Jenkins
Peniciller: Ramon Bachs, Steve Lieber, Lee Weeks, Eduardo Baretto
This was a pleasent surprise. Finally the pieces come together. The reporters' stories get some cool twists, just as Speedball's and Wonderman's ones - though the poem sucked as usual. I especially liked how we got some insight into Speedy and understand that he is really heartbroken about the things that happened.
RATING: B
Writer:Brian Reed
Peniciller: Roberto de la Torre
A fitting conclusion to a mediocre "Civil War" story. The big problem I had: There was nobody to root for. Carol, the main protagonist, was whiny and unlikeable. Her opponent Arachne wasn't better. I hated her, when she put her daughter into harm's way. Wonderman and Spider-Girl saved some points for this issue.
RATING: C-
Writer: Marc Guggenheim
Peniciller: Humberto Ramos
At this point I ran out of positive things to say about this tie-in. Guggenheim doesn't dissapoint with the conclusion to this "Wolverine" run. The bad guy gets his punishment and we even get an ass-kicking guest appearance of The Sentry! I understand that there is one more issue: a kind of epilogue. Looking forward to it!
RATING: A
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Penicillers: Pasqual Ferry & Paul Smith
After his appearance in the last "Wolverine" issue I was intruiged, what Sentry's stand in the "Civil War" was. I think Bendis does a good job of explaining his views in this little visit to Attilan. The art is gorgeous to look at and the end does a great job of foreshadowing some major developments.
RATING: B-
Writers: Marc Guggenheim, Robert Kirkman, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, Mike Oeming, Ty Templeton, Jim McCann
Penicillers: Leinil Yu, Phil Hester, David Aja, Scott Kolins, Roger Langridge, Alex Chung
This anthology is a mixed bag. I liked the "Venom", "Immortal Iron Fist" and "Ant-Man" parts but didn't care much for the rest.
RATING: C
Writer:Ed Brubaker
Peniciller: Mike Perkins
The focus shifts from Agent 13 to Bucky and Nick Fury, which results in some exciting stealth action and a very cool scene with Red Skull and Dr. Doom. Brubaker masterfully uses the backdrop of "Civil War" to continue his own saga. The fact that Captain America merely appears doesn't hurt the issue.
RATING: A
Writer: Zeb Wells
Peniciller: Stefano Caselli
The mini wraps up with - you guessed it - tons of action. Most of the many heroes get a moment to shine and kick some ass. The warden gets what he deserves - though it is a little ridiculous, how somebody this evil could get in this position. But well, this IS a comic book.
RATING: B
