Marvels Snapshot: Civil War #1

MARVELS SNAPSHOTS: CIVIL WAR #1 is one of the strongest issues in the Snapshots series by taking a successful event and finding an interesting story within the story. The writing is excellent from front to back and the art team is the icing on the cake. This is a highly recommended issue. Read Full Review

When all is said and done Marvel Snapshots: Civil War #1tells an impactful tale about thinking for ones self and not just going with the program. How reasonable people can find themselves in a place that, on the surface, should be good but isnt. And reminds us of what we are responsible for in such a situation. Read Full Review

Civil War: Marvels Snapshots #1 is a new take on the "anyone can be a hero" mantra, and it's one that would make Captain America proud. Read Full Review

A flawed central metaphor coupled with a misreading of its own main thesis, but still a valuable intellectual contribution to the discourse. Read Full Review

A nebbishy SHIELD agent in Toledo realizes he's on the wrong side of the Civil War with a little help from a young superhero. It's a simple story with an impeccable message. The script is laser-focused on its theme and I think hammering on the moral helps. This is one silver lining to contentious (even crappy) crossover events: Later creators can always revisit them and tell BETTER stories within their framework. This is also a fine 30-page summary of what Civil War meant -- from the Cap side of things. I HOPE we've finally all realized that's the right side ...

It was good for what it was. Nothing bad here and pretty standard for the quality weve been getting from this series overall

This was fine. An improvement upon the last few issues, in my opinion.

This still went a little too hard on the “few bad apples” idea, but like... not as bad as previously.
