Definitely seconded. I stumbled upon the world of digital comics when I started downloading the "Chronological X-Men" torrents and was left thinking "wtf is a .cbr". There is a certain nostalgia with holding the paper comic in your hand and all, but CDisplay is so user friendly that you definitely won't mind that you're sitting at your comptuer reading after one or two.
A google search leading to Zip's Civil War http downloads prompted my first visit to GFF, thanks for that btw. Except that those upload sites have a terrible limit on how many things you can DL from the site per hour or so. Even still, I've now read Civil War up to the most currently digitally released issues and wow.
This has got to be one of the most interesting story arcs I've read in comics. Not read Infinite Crisis, but after seeing the Wikipedia page on the dozens of different Earths, I'd rather stick with my X-Men issues (I'm up to 1986!) and my Civil War for now, thanks.
As far as whose side I'm on, I'd definitely have to say Cap. I do agree that superpowered beings should have some sort of accountability, but having them all be required to register their real names and become employees of S.H.I.E.L.D. defeats the purpose of having them around. The whole point of a superhero is that, regardless of their personal moral code, they more often than not have a vigilante brand of justice that a government official would never approve of.
It's odd. I agree with some of the things said, like when a villain breaks out and kills a whole mess of people for the third time, when does it start being Spider-Man's fault for not taking the threat down permanently. Yet I still don't think that registration is healthy for a superhero's family and friends.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
