Product Description

Civil War - 199 issues Road to Civil War and tie-ins Civil War The Initiative The Marvel Universe is changing. In the wake of a tragedy, Capitol Hill proposes The Superhuman Registration Act, requiring all costumed heroes to unmask themselves before the government. Divided, the nations' greatest champions must each decide how to react. A decision that will alter the course of their lives forever! Civil War is encompassing the entire Marvel Universe, and the effects of the war are being felt by every hero, villain and civilian. In Civil War: Choosing Sides, five stories shine a spotlight on the wildcards and impact players whose part in the Civil War has yet to be told - including Daredevil/Iron Fist, U.S.Agent, the Irredeemable Ant-Man, Venom and even... Howard the Duck? Then in Winter Soldier: Winter Kills, James Buchanan Barnes, Captain America's one-time partner Bucky, faces his first Christmas of the 21st century - and the truth of the terrible things he was forced to do as the Winter Soldier. And with Cap caught in a conflict he can neither take a side of - or understand - what moves can he make to try to redeem himself? Later, in Civil War: The Return, two of the universe's greatest heroes are confronted with pasts they can't leave behind in two heart-rendering tales. On Earth, the Sentry confronts his inner demons as the shadows of past and future battles tear him apart. Within The Negative Zone, the walls of 42 are pulled back to reveal the return of one of the Marveldom's greatest heroes. And in She-Hulk, Civil War threatens the rights of every American super hero. So whose side will Marvel's top superhuman lawyer fight for? And how can she possibly choose, when she feels one way as She-Hulk, and another as Jen Walters? Collects Winter Soldier: Winter Kills, Civil War: Choosing Sides, Civil War: The Return and She-Hulk #8

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value that covers Marvel's Civil War, February 25, 2008

This review is from: Civil War: The Complete Collection [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

Some longtime readers of Marvel Comics despise the concept of a "civil war" among previous allies. Whether you like it or not (and I have mixed feelings), you have to credit Marvel with some intriguing stories. The various writers do manage to take a relatively even-sided view of the conflict (idealism/Captain America vs. pragmatism/Iron Man).

However, if you can see beyond the horrors of "What Hath Marvel Wrought?", this DVD is an excellent buy. It would cost you many more dollars to buy the individual comics or the graphic novel reprints. If you want to read the stories but don't want to sink a lot of money into it, get this DVD. It includes almost 200 issues--the build-up to the Civil War, the War issues themselves, and the Initiative issues.

Only difficulty I had reading the issues on a computer screen involved occasional oddly written text (i.e. the Vision's dialogue) or small text (some "computer-like" text in Iron Man scenes). Overall, though, it's a tremendous bargain.

I had meant to buy this collection when it first came out, But GIT stopped making them after only a short time, and the used ones started selling to $100+ -- no thank you. Now that they are back in normal prodution and at a reasonable price I find it's a great complilation of a fascinating story line in the Marvel Universe. Unlike the Spider man and X-men collections, that give you all of the central title, but none of the "spin off" titles that you had to have to read a coherent story line -- all of the necessary titles are here to carry you through the story arc. -- Nice job!

I bought this as a gift. I received a phone call from the recipient and received lots of thank yous and how great it was to have all the comic issues on a DVD. He said it was easy to use and the colors were great. If you're a comic person and missed the 'Civil War' series, get this!
