Started good then went downhill, but still great overall.

This picks up right after volume 1 and goes throughout the end of Civil War. There were some points that could have been interesting, but it didn't satisfy me. (view spoiler)[I'm still not sure how I feel about the comparisons in both volumes to real wars. (hide spoiler)]

A surprising ending to this side story and a twist I had not seen coming.

There is nothing more aggravating when reading a story than having to trudge through the middle to get to a good end. This is the way that I feel about the whole Front Line side story of Civil War. The story could have been reeled back by at least 4 issues and I would have felt okay about it. The thing was that (in my opinion) they wanted this story to travel from before the beginning of Civil War to the very End. And doing that make it weak for me. Too much filler to make it enjoyable. I'm givi...

It seems that a lot of reviewers don't really care for the Front Line series, but I thought it added a necessary depth to the overall Civil War story arc. A look at the Superhero Registration Act from the point of view of two regular human reporters and many great debates about security vs. freedom and whether the two are mutually exclusive.

I really enjoyed Front Line Vol. 1 but I think I actually liked Vol. 2 even more. While all the heroes are beating each other up, Front Line makes the Civil War storyline into a political conspiracy thriller. It’s really cool, really well done.One of my issues with the Civil War event is that many of the stories (including the central one by Millar) don’t exactly reach the most satisfying conclusion. Front Line is the exception. While the other hero tie-ins make way for the central story only to...

2.5 starsThis was noticeably less fantastic than Civil War: Front Line, Vol. 1.So most of the plot points introduced in the first one are resolved here despite how anticlimactic almost every one of those points was. The historical flashbacks that I found so endearing in the first one just became monotonous in this sequel. I often found myself just waiting for it to be over. Until this one thing with Robbie Baldwin/Speedball happened. I always felt bad for Robbie because he was treated like he w...

Volume 2 of Front Line continues right where the first left off. Ben Urich and Sally Floyd uncover startling revelations about the causes of the Civil War, who's running things, and why, and cover both sides of the conflict. Robbie Baldwin continues his journey from Speedball to incarcerated pariah for his involvement with Stamford, and we watch the transformation he undergoes until we see what he becomes near the end of the book. Wonder Man's involvement with spying for SHIELD takes a turn for

Best one out of the two volumes. Finally get some answers!

Along with the amazing Spider-Man this title is better than the main series itself. Can't believe some of the embedded bits weren't included in the main title.

It was alright. Not enough superhero action going on for my taste. Like it gave you a little and then it took it away. Sadness. But it was still enjoyable to read. #teamcap

Paul Jenkins tries to provide justification for Captain America and Iron Man turning against one another, and the results are not disappointing.

Looks like my review got deleted or I forgot to write one. Frontline are usually my favorites of the "events" series. This one was no exception.

I'm reading this event according to the official Marvel Civil War reading recommendation list as seen on their website here:https://www.marvel.com/comics/discove...This collection is all about the conspiracies, and it is glorious. We see Ben and Sally uncover the truth about why the Green Goblin went after the Atlantians. We also see further discussion about war profiteering and learn the truth about all the behind-the-scenes aspects that the heroes haven't spent time worrying about. Like the fi...

The second half of the Front Line story following reporters during Marvel's Civil War event. I enjoy the way that the story unfolds in that we learn information behind the Civil War. We also get to see a little of the aftermath, which helps in giving context. However, there were still parts that lagged for me, meaning it wasn't my absolute favorite. But there are some great panels included thorughout!

This book is self satisfied finger wagging at its lamest and what it implies is “right” and “wrong” is infuriating. The fact that they spend the whole time crowing about journalistic integrity only to applaud and cover up Stark murdering foreign nationals, working with criminals, and orchestrating a war - all so his plan of keeping super cops in every state can work - shows exactly how brain dead post- 9/11 “patriotic” comics were. Good fucking god.

I found this volume somewhat episodic at first and it took me a while to get a sense of the through story. There were bits I didn’t like. For example, A journalist is given the opportunity to interview Captain America for 15 minutes but instead, she tears a strip off him and leaves before her time was up. As we say in Scotland, “Aye, right!”.

I think the highlight of this issue was the parallel they did with a historic event to the current event happening with the Superhero legislation bullshit.Another thing I found good about this was how it shows you the effect of what defying the legislation would do to you. It was terrible. I didn't like it one bit. It felt wrong that just because they had the abilities that they do, they are forced to, in a way, slavery by the government. They aren't free to make their own choices anymore. They

Very thought-provoking storylines. After all was said and done, I don't know who was right, if anyone truly was; although I do think too many people went to extremes. I was stunned by the final revelation about Tony Stark's actions. His actions are similar to Ozymandias' in Watchmen. I want to resist the idea that the only way people can come together is to face a common enemy, but perhaps it is an ugly truth of the human condition.

I am going back and reading as many of these Civil War (the first Civil War) graphic novels I can. I don't think in my past readings of this event I had read this one, I found it extremely interesting. The news reporters lend a much needed none douchebag perspective giving points in favor of registration. This volume also does a great job portraying both Iron Man and Captain America from a different perspective, lost in the main volume. While reading this, I didn't realize it was Vol 2, which mi...
