Nope. Not even. After three issues, I didn't like the flow f it. At about the same time, I picked up Annihilation, running almost parallel to Civil War. And it's *much better*, IMO. The Yokozuna Of Soul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: no way. You haven't been reading Civil War? It's about

Funny, I love Civil War and the news -type Frontline series that runs with it. Annihilation is interesting, but I'm not in love with it. -- Original message -- From: Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nope. Not even. After three issues, I didn't like the flow f it. At about the

It's the writing. Keith GIffen, most famed for his comic take on Justice League back in the 80s, handled the entire series, including all of the offshoots with Super Skrull, Silver Surfer, Ronan the Accuser and Nova. I like the cosmic-scoped stories, and this more than qualifies for me. While

I've been buying the Annihilation series and its ancillary titles. I enjoyed the limited series on Ronin and the Super Skrull. It's not that I dislike it, it just hasn't captivated me the way Civil War has. I'm really liking the whole battle between the forces of Cap and Iron Man, the stupid

Forgot about Happy, but hen it's been years since I read the book. Everytime I've picked it up since, I've seen that they still have that sentient armor in the script. THanks, but no. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe he'll take the place of Happy Hogan as Stark's confidante and

Hand me a few spoilers about Civil War. I dropped that too after three issues. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think the sentient armour is no more. I never read that storyline, though. I bought the last three or four issues of Iron Man as part of the Civil War megaseries. --

When I was at The Book Nook last week, I picked up (but didn't buy) an issue of Iron Man, part of a miniseries arc involving some sort of secret battle or some such. THe armor *seemed* sentient, but I didn't pay it much mind, because the story left me cold. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I

no way. You haven't been reading Civil War? It's about to conclude! This is the best thing to happen to Marvel in years. And...there were shipping issues after #4 so now's a great time to catch up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_(comics) On Feb 8, 2007, at 6:20 PM,

I'm trying to think of who this might be, the char he's due to portray, whether he's in continuity anywhere. Obadiah Stane, maybe? He might like that role, because Stane ends up a bad egg. Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bridges Steeled For Iron Man
