Book Review: Getting in the heads of the leaders
Summary: 5 Stars
This volume collects three different story arcs from Marvel's big 2006 event, the Civil War. The three issues of Captain America get inside that character's head, revealing his internal struggles in trying to maintain a normal life while fighting the Civil War (leading the resistance) and holding out against his regular group of foes. Ed Brubaker's writing is excellent throughout this arc. Unfortunately, Mike Perkins' artwork is less consistent. His pencils range from strong to mediocre, though his inking is truly excellent.
The two Iron Man issues get inside Tony's head, and reveal what the war has cost him. Long time fans will want to check this out, as the title seems to be shaping up to take a sharp left turn, and the groundwork is being laid here. This is an interesting story in its own right, and a nice embellishment to the big story. The Knaufs write well, and Zircher pencils are very good.
The weakest entry is the Iron Man / Captain America: Casualties of War special. This wasn't originally approved, but when the main Civil War series started running late, it was approved to give retailers a chance to maintain revenue and momentum in the new slow periods. It shows; it's a nice recap of the history of the relationship between these two, but it doesn't really add anything new. Still, this weak entry (words by Christos N. Gage, pencils by Jeremy Haun, inks by Mark Morales) isn't weak enough to detract from the quality of the other two stories included in this collection. The complete package is definitely worthwhile.
Summary of Iron Man: Civil War
Two tales of suspense ripped from the pages of Civil War! Captain America has fallen into a clash with his government and his friends, and the people close to him are paying the price. The life of Cap's girlfriend, Agent 13, is torn apart as her superiors use her divided loyalties against her. Elsewhere, a new villain emerges; the Red Skull begins to make himself known; and the Winter Soldier again comes face-to-face with Cap. Meanwhile, get inside the mind of of Tony Stark, and learn why he feels superhuman registration is necessary - and why he's taken it upon himself to lead the charge for its implementation! Big changes are in store for Iron Man in the post-Civil War landscape, and the build-up begins here! Collects Captain America #22-24, Iron-Man #13-14 and Iron Man/Captain America Special.Superheroes Books
