Alas...,
By FangsFirst "FangsFirst" (Durham, North Carolina United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil War: Front Line, Book 2 (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
Frontline started off so well. I was with it, recommending it to fellow comic readers...then this half. Paul Jenkins is now an author I avoid.
Whatever one thinks of the entire event, this half of Front Line is awful. It's horribly written. Or maybe it's wonderfully written and just has a terrible, awful, brainless, spineless, indecisive, judgmental and irritating main character who is portrayed perfectly with these characteristics. Sally Floyd is one of the most irritating characters I've ever had the misfortune to read. Taking a simple (and frankly, obvious) trick like the one the government agent uses on her and changing her entire mindset over it was the first time my jaw dropped. I could not believe anyone was that stupid or lacking in any sort of fervency in their beliefs. I read on, and by the final issue, I had no faith in the character or in the writer behind her. While perhaps Sally is intended to portray a shallow mindset that Jenkins feels is representative of some part of the world (or perhaps of America?)--it comes off feeling as if the book agrees with her arguments against one side of the war, and for another. Perhaps the latter was sarcastic and both were intended as judgmental. It certainly didn't read as such. Regardless, I regretted recommending this to anyone once it reached its conclusion and do not recommend it to anyone now. In fact, I was chastised for my recommendation once it reached its end. As such: avoid this book. There are legitimate arguments for why the Pro-Registration side was right, but they are not to be found in the feeble mind of Sally Floyd--only useless, uninteresting, insulting fluff resides there. As in the ending of this series.

Slow, But Necessary,
This review is from: Civil War: Front Line, Book 2 (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
So I'm going back and checking out the other books about Marvel's Civil War that I missed when the event was going on.If you're looking for non-stop action and huge battles with earth shattering explosions and heroic battles that pit hero against hero, then this isn't the book for you. This book shows the nuts and bolts of Civil War, what happened behind the scenes while Captain America and Iron Man were going at it. This book had the two reporters from the different newspapers investigating what happened and how Tony Stark manipulated the entire country to further his own agenda, line his pockets and get the country on his side. And also to get ready for an imminent Atlantean invasion, which I'm not sure if it ever happened. There are scenes where there are battles going on in the background and the two reporters are running for their lives but that's about it for action. Also we see how the character of "Speedball" decides to never be "Speedball" and instead to be a new hero called "Penance." Which is weird cuz that's the name of a character from the old Generation X team in the 90's and early 2000's. So if you wanna know what happened behind the scenes in Marvel's Civil War, check this one out!

A Must have view of the Marvel Civil War,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Civil War: Front Line, Book 2 (Bk. 2) (Paperback)
The frontline series not only adds an amazing amount of depth to the civil war story but also helps to explain the origins of one of the best new characters to come out of the civil war. Penance.
There's a lot of guts in these stories and this is a horrible one to pass up.
