Civil War #5 - Marvel


Ok, the Civil War is heating up. We start out with Johnny Storm and Sue Richards trying to elude a SHIELD team that is trying to capture them. We then have Nighthawk and Stature at the Stark Towers, ready to make a public announcement that they are ready to switch sides. But Tony's not coming. Why? Wouldn't he love to show the media that there are people rethinking their stance on the issue, and coming over to his side? Well yes. But, he and Spider-man are currently busy at the top of the tower, kicking the snot out of each other. Of course Spider-man breaks out of the building, but SHEILD already has a team of agents ready for backup. But, Tony wants to deal with Peter on his own. He still thinks he can win him over. But, Maria Hill, Fury's replacement, already has a plan in place. It's called operation Thunderbolts, and basically is a team of every villain, lunatic, and homicidal maniac that registered and are now ready to do whatever they have to to make the Govt. happy. To me, this one has trouble written all over it. The Jester and Jack o Lantern catch up with Peter in the sewers and give him a pretty thorough beating. The only thing that stops them from killing him is Maria Hill, who orders them to bring him in. But then they are immediately taken out by a mysterious benefactor. It looks like the Punisher has come to Peter's rescue. He then takes him to Captain Americas headquarters for immediate medical attention. Johnny and Sue have also found their way to Caps hideout. Nobody's happy about the Punisher being there, but they are happy that he rescued Spidey. Then we also see She-Hulk, Mr. Fantastic and Tony carting Daredevil off to the Negative Zone prison. The issue ends with Matt telling Tony, "Sleep well, Judas!". Great story, and fantastic art. Nobody can say they aren't getting enough action with this book. Enjoy!
