Book Reviews of The Amazing Spider-Man: Civil War
Book Review: Peter Parker's decisions through Marvel's main event
Summary: 5 Stars
Forming one of the most important crossovers of the Civil War event, this reveals the hows and whys of Peter's life altering decisions. We see him struggle with Tony's request to unmask, and with the consequences of all of his actions and allegiances throughout the Civil War. This is one of the few crossovers that can stand on its own. Highly recommended.Book Review: outstanding story
Summary: 5 Stars
Spider-Man Civil War is a must have for any new or old Spider-Man fan. The story of Peter Parker's struggle with the law and what is right or wrong was incredible. I actually became a regular Spider-Man comic book collector from reading this book. If you liked this graphic novel I would also suggest Spider-Man: Back in Black.Book Review: great addition
Summary: 5 Stars
THis is a great addition to both Peter's story and the Marvel Civil War storyline. I'd like to go on about it, but there isn't much I can say that hasn't been said.Book Review: An interesting take on the Marvel universe...
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first book I read in the Marvel "Civil War" line, and I found it intriguing and fun to read.Book Review: Spider-man cuts a fine figure in the major Marvel Comics Event
Summary: 4 Stars
There are good reasons to sympathize with both factions in Marvel Comics "Civil War"--those led by Iron Man and those led by Captain America. But when posed with the question "Whose side are are you on?" I have to stand with the Amazing Spider-man. Where most of the other heroes allow the conflict to quickly degenerate into a fist-match aimed at sticking it to the other guy, Peter Parker is ever willing to reevaluate the situation based on new information. As always, his character is compelling because of his ongoing need to find out what is the right thing to do, and then doing it, no matter what it may cost him.
Constrained by the massive crossover plot of the Civil War story arc, writer J. Michael Straczynski's doesn't shine quite like he has before, but is nevertheless an asset to this major "Marvel Comics Event"; the core storyline just seems to ring a little hollow without Straczynski's fleshing out of Spider-man's perspective. Ron Carney's art is good--the webslinger cuts a fine figure in both his new and old costume. There's some good action sequences with Spider-man fighting against either side ... and we also see more of the unmasked hero, Peter Parker.
