I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Civil War - Front Line #5 - Marvel
Yet another chapter in the continuing adventure of the Marvel Civil War. The first story has to do with 2 different journalists, Ben Urich and Sally Floyd. Ben hasn't decided what he thinks the story is yet. But, the story seems to be looking for him. Green Goblin corners him in an alley, saying that he going to get revenge for all the stuff "Benny Boys" written about him. But he seems to have some sort of siezure. So Ben escapes while he is incapacitated. Now Sally on the other hand is diving right in. She's already met with some of the underground, and barely escaped when they were attacked by some SHIELD "Herokillers". Now someone is trying to spoonfeed her the bigger story, but the Govt., SHIELD in particular, is not gonna' let it happen. Her and her editor, Neil Crawford, are both arrested. In the further adventures of Robbie Baldwin, aka Speedball, he is being sent to a special prison with all the other metas who refused to register. It's in the Negative Zone. The inmates call it Fantasy Island. In the Sleeper Cell story, we have Wonder Man shooting a promo spot for TV, supporting the registration. But, then he is strongarmed into going after "Joe", a sleeper agent the Govt. has been watching for years, and who blew up his shop a couple of issues ago so he could escape. And finally we have some letters from the real Civil War, between 2 brothers who fought on opposite sides, and the pictures compare how it relates to what's going on now. As I said, I was a little sceptacle of this appendum to the Civil War storyline, when it first came out. But, it's growing on me. It would be really good, if they could get some decent artists on it. But, that's just me.
