Civil War #3 - Marvel

Ok first we have Mr. Fantastic in Wakanda trying to talk the Black Panther into joining up with his side. But he wants to remain neutural. Doctor Strange also has refused to be pulled in to the fray. We then see Tony Stark meeting up with Emma at the X-Men mansion, trying to get them on his side. Like the Black Panther, Emma express' that with all the hardship they've gone through recently, they would prefer to stay on the sidelines. But Bishop asks to talk to him. We then see Cap America, Hercules, Daredevil and Goliath in thier new civilian identities, compliments of Nick Fury. But soon they answer a call to a problem at a Petrochemical plant. Unfortunately it's owned by Tony Stark so obviously its a trap. There's a huge knockdown dragout fight by both sides, but it come to a thunderous conclusion, literally, when SHEILD calls in Thor and he blankets the area in thunder and lightening. Ok, I wasn't a believer when this all started, but I'm quickly getting there. I still have some reservations though on whether these will be lasting changes. But, I guess, only time will tell. Mark Millar is his usual magnificent self, and Steve McNiven, I think, will become a fan favorite after all this is done. This series has huge potential, but, like I said, we'll see when all is said and done, how many changes stick, and what doesn't.
