[QUOTE="PurpleDragonKnight, post: 6773387, member: 6803444"] I was talking about this to a bunch of friends tonight: although I collected Civil War like no other and anticipated each number more than the last, each new issue was like someone jabbing my Marvel childhood gut... I felt it disheartening to see heroes pitted against heroes because of politics, like there's not enough political garbage strife in the real world already. You read comics to get a boost from uncompromising heroes who stand together no matter what. In the 80's they kept sending that red headed lawyer government dude at the Avengers to make trouble for them, and each time Beast would drop from the ceiling, tousling his hair or stealing his shades while they were running to the Quinjet to deal with a real emergency, laughing at the dude on their way out. That kind of camaraderie is sadly lacking from the comics these days, and seems to be proportionally lacking from many institutions in the real world too, out of concerns for political correctness that are blown out of proportion. The result: more dour and grim and ever more dark comics, as we descend in the last refuge of entertainment that is still acceptable: gratuitous violence. Damn you Civil War. Damn you Batman vs. Superman. [/QUOTE]
