Civil War #2 - Marvel

Ok, my criticism of the appendages to this maxi-series, may have been a bit negative. But this book, was right on the money. Mark Millar is an incredible author. First of all Captain America has gone underground. He's assembling a squad of mercenaries, used to be heroes, and is also taking some "Bad-guys" hostage. The registered heroes are putting on a show in the center of New York taking down a Doom-Bot. Rallying the average Joe's support. After the fight She-Hulk asks Iron Man, "Won't we just be S.h.i.e.l.d. Agens when we're all on the federal payroll?" To which Tony replys, "No, we're Super-Heroes Jennifer. The only thing changing is that the kids, and the sociopaths are getting weeded out." To which Tigra asks, "What category does Captain America fall into, Iron Man?" The Fantastic Four seems to be on board to, well at least Reed is. Later you see S.h.i.e.l.d. chasing after the Patriot, of the Young Avengers, across rooftops in a helicopter. And being the "Greenie" that he is, he leads them right back to their hideout. They're all loaded up in a carrier, but Cap and Falcon, are undercover as security, and they transport all the Y.A.'s to thier secret hideout. They're now enlisted in the underground. Also present are Cloak & Dagger, Daredevil, Luke Cage and some others. The issue ends up with Tony Stark's press conference in which Spider-man comes out, tells the world that he's been Spider-man since he was 13 and that his real name is Peter Parker. The funny part was Jonah passing out at his desk after seeing the TV. Awesome stuff. Hopefully there's more changes in store. And hopefully they'll be permanant. I already told you how I feel about that. So now we eagerly anticipate the next issue. By the way did I tell you Steve McNivens art is perfect for this book. I don't know where this guy came from, but he's got a serious future.
