Book Reviews of New Avengers Vol. 5: Civil War
Book Review: In Retrospect, Insightful and Pertinent
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the distinct advantage of reading this collection well after I read the unified edition of Civil War, so I must admit my perspective would be different from someone unfamiliar with the outcome of Civil War and its fallout.
That said, knowing what I know about Nick Fury, Iron Man, and Captain America's current storylines, this volume of New Avengers was incredibly insightful and pertinent.
Though Brian Michael Bendis is the writer throughout, each separate issue making up the larger volume is drawn by a different artist and focuses upon a different character from the New Avengers.
While I don't believe any of these issues are "must-reads" in order to understand the larger storyline of Civil War, they certainly help illuminate character's motivations and set up plots to come in New Avengers and Mighty Avengers.
I'd also like to say that there is a component to this volume featuring Sentry drawn by Pasqual Ferry that alone makes the entire volume worth buying. I could take or leave Sentry as a character, but Ferry's rendering of Sentry interacting with the Inhumans is an absolute delight. Certainly Dean White's colors add to the beauty of Ferry's art, and I really hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. In my opinion, Ferry is the go-to guy when it comes to interplanetary adventure, as I first learned with his stunning art in Adam Strange: Planet Heist.
New Avengers: Civil War is a great volume if you're looking for different artists interpretations of some of your favorite New Avengers; it's enlightening if you desire further character motivation during Civil War; and finally, it's a nice springboard to new plots in New Avengers.
Had I read this in "real" time I don't know I would have enjoyed it as much, but with 20/20 hindsight, I thoroughly relished New Avengers: Civil War.
~Scott William Foley, author of Dr. Nekros: Phantasms and Chicanery (Volume I, Episode II)
