It is great to see that people are enjoying this story. I, however am in the minority and HATE this book. On my website we ranted about the story since issue one, but now to me its just funny (unintenionally of coure). Chris from 2guysbuyingcomics joined us in our latest episode reviewing Civil War # 4. Which you can listen to here:

To sum it up, this doesn't feel like I am reading the characters I have known and loved for over twenty years. But instead a poor man's version or Millar's Ultimates versions. But, hey to each there own. I'm glad it's selling like it is because that means it gets people more interested in buying comics and to me that is a plus. I was a fan of those loser heroes Blight (that again were written completely out of character and just used as plot devices.) I don't think both sides are well represented at all, if Millar is even trying to do that. Obviously Iron Man is being portrayed as a villian and they even have Motherfuckin' Reed Richards building a concentration camp for some of his fucking friends!!! FUCK!!!!! okay, I'm not going to get into, but I'm glad you are buying comics Blight. It really feels like Marvel is destroying 40 years of history in at least three characters. They have to make Iron Man good again sometime before the movie comes out.
I do have to add, that I would be enjoying this book if it was a What If? story. Or took place in the Ultimate Universe.
