This is the new Civil War thread for you to post in!

I'm not going to write up a huge first post this time, and instead link to the Wikipedia article, which has everything you need to know.

    And another disappointing mega event ends.

    I hope Planet Hulk is better but I'm not counting on it.

    They should let Griffen write another thing. Then it would be awesome.

    Planet Hulk has been better.

    Do you mean to say World War Hulk?

    Oh, WWH.

    I really have my doubts. I mean Pak wrote a good PH, but most of his other stuff has been on the wrong side of good. I mean Warsong? The Cuukoos can't feel emotions because their hearts are diamond. I'm pretty sure that was a Disney Cartoon.

    The synopsis at the wiki doesn't say what happened in the end and who won. It cuts off at the point that I already knew: both sides ready to duke it out.
    So what happened? Who won?

    According to leaked news on it, supposedlly the fight kicks off at the prison until Cloak moves everyone out into NYC (probably to keep them from being killed if they poke a hole or two in the prison if what I saw in The Return preview was true). Things continue until New Yorkers come up to the heroes and point out all the holes they're putting in the streets and buildings, reminding them who's really suffering from their feuding. Cap allows himself to be arrested, some heroes still head underground to avoid being registered and Tony Stark takes over S.H.I.E.L.D.

    So it ends....As much as I hated this series I admit one great thing has come from it. ThunderBolts with Ellis. I enjoyed the T'Bolts book and didn't really like the idea of a Marvel "Suicide Squad" replacing it, but Ellis did a damn great job with it.

    Marvel's adapted to the internet by trying to prank its net-based fandom whenever possible.

    Which of you is right?

    I didn't recognise any of those with Clor but they looked kinda generic. They're not the created heroes Stark's working on are they? Actually, about those created heroes, are they soldiers being given artificial powers or just loser heroes being trained up to be super soldiers?

    And why did Cap get his ass handed to him by those guys? I know its Task master and Venom but still, he's held his own against a lot worse than that.

    Well for starters, motherfucking Taskmaster.

    Also venom is pretty strong.

    Just because Captain America can walk up to Galactus and be like bitch please doesn't mean he's going to be able to take on Taskmaster in a fight, especially when Venom is there too. I mean, Captain America is probably the best tactician and one of the best hand to hand fighters on the planet, but Taskmaster is the best hand to hand fighter on the planet. Deadpool only won because he played to TM's specific weakness. Captain America isn't insane, so he doesn't really play to Taskmaster's weakness.

    Also, venom is stronger than spider-man, right? That is pretty strong.

    You know, I think a lot of the fighting could have been averted if Tony and Reed had just shared their 100 ideas with the other heroes. With Tony as the head of SHIELD, the Registration Act pretty much enlists all the heroes in a giant version of the Avengers instead of turning them into government lackeys. Of course, nobody seemed to know that...

    And I thought they were just trying to bust everyone out of the prison? When did the plan change to the point where Cap looked like he was about to kill Iron Man?

    Also, looking at the rosters of both sides, I'd wager that most of the property damage was caused by the Pro-Reg army. They have the super-villains and super-strong powerhouses, after all. In the Anti-Reg side, only Hercules, Spider-Man, Torch, and Invisible Women are really capable of destroying a building with only Hercules being able to do it inadvertently.
