    <body><![CDATA[This was the series that made me stop reading comics for a couple years (and hate Iron Man, at least until the movie came out). I like the idea here, but reading this collection reminds me of one of my frustrations: to get the entire series, you have to read a bunch of other books to keep it all str...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61081072">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an odd collection of comics that show the strife going on between the good super-heroes in the Marvel universe. Some want to register with the government (like Spider-Man) and some definitely do not. Not everyone thinks that having the government know who they are is a good idea. The first ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2844831">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of those stories where somebody said 'Wouldn't it be cool if...!' and nobody had the balls to say 'No, that's actually pretty stupid, will require a bunch of characters to be written out of character to make work, means a major marvel super hero will act like a power mad dick, and will screw thi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36206138">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was expecting soo much more from this miniseries - the superhero registration act storyline had immense potential for greatness (much like the Keane Act in Watchmen) but the story fell completely flat. The plot had very little depth and moved much too quickly. It seemed more like an outline than a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59029522">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great art, great story.  As far as I can tell, this is the first large comic &quot;event&quot; that has no actual villain. There are evil characters, but the main driving force of the conflict is an idea and way of thinking, and two opposing sides.

    <body><![CDATA[For someone as loosely familiar with the Marvel Universe as I am, this introduction to the Civil War arcs from Marvel still packed a very intense punch.  The betrayal, the conflict, the shades of gray are all incredibly well done as the major superheroes that we all know (and many many minor ones th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27131642">more...</a>]]></body>
