Could anything turn out worse than Infinite Crisis?

How ya doing, buddy?

No, that wouldn't be worse because that would probally be still be written with some kind of logic and haivng some kind on continuity.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't think metaphor is the right word. Maybe you mean that they made it so that it could be discussed in Political Palace?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

Honestly, I don't think it'll be betrayal so much as dual-involvement. I believe Peter is going to play both sides, working with both Cap and Tony while neither knows what Peter's truly up to. Each one will believe him to be on their side, but he's really on neither. I can't think of a good reason for him to do this. However, this does not stop me from believing that this will occur.

So it seems. More importantly, though, is that this Civil War is supposed to split the X-Men and the FF over that issue. On the cover to Civil War: Frontline, it clearly depicts Cyclops on one side and Colossus on another.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This Civil War seems a bit eerie to me. Through this, I've been able to draw at least five different parallels between the Big Three of Marvel and the First Triumvirate of the Roman Republic. I have to rearrage some traits, like the one dying not being the wealthy one, but it still works. I guess this means Cap dies when the whole thing's over.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Keep in mind, Caesar didn't die until after the civil war was over. Though, if Marvel killed Cap, they could continue the parallels and have him become some sort of god. Steve Rogers: God of Democracy.

FELIPE NO

Well, he is if you exlcude the most recent Ult. FF story arc. That made little sense.

I'm not sure about McNiven's art, yet. Maybe it has to grow on me or something. It was just sort of uninspiring for me.

Spoiler:

I believe I've figured out how the FF splits. With The Human Torch having been in a coma, he'll be with Cap just out of anger. Of course, he's already been depicted this way on a Frontline cover. From Civil War #1 is seems that both Reed and Sue are going to take Tony's side. Given the personality of Ben, and his attachment to Torch, I'm going to put him on Cap's side.

For the X-Men, all I know is that Cyke is with Cap and Bishop and Colossus are with Tony. I'm sure further previews will help.

How ya doing, buddy?

I wasn't talking about all of his Ult. FF stuff, just the President Thor arc. The time travel within that story was some of the worst time travel storytelling I've ever read. It's kind of hard to put into words without coming off as an angry loon...
