Two Ravens Above Us
So...what?
I loved Civil War, don't get me wrong, and I especially loved the fight in 7, but what the hell?
They showed entrances from their greatest heroes, but failed to show them doing anything other than a panel or two. Clor came, along with Mar-Vell, and you're thinking it's ass kicking time. Then you realize instead of ass kicking time, you get to watch some new feats for your favorite top tiers.
What are some of these feats? Lets take a look. Here are a few examples we see from some of the most impressive guys on either team.
-Clor: Walking, yelling loudly, getting beaten up (without throwing a shot)
-Namor: Jumping, yelling loudly.
-Mar-Vell: Flying in a straight line.
-Black Panther: Typing.
-Punisher: Picking things up off the ground.
-Sentry (my favorite in this): Standing.
They hyped up Sentry, made us think he'd do something awesome in the battle, only to show him do one thing: stand. Well god damn! Someone better get that to his respect thread quick!
Same with Mar-Vell, they brought him back...so what, they could show him flying once?
None of those guys threw a single punch, fired a shot, anything in the whole book. I got excited, "oh look, Namor's here, he's really going to kick some ass now." What happened? Did Cloak decide to teleport him back to the ocean? Then Clor comes in, leading me to believe I'm about to see some good ol' fashion ass kicking, and instead, what happens? He gets his face smashed in before they show him do ANYTHING. What does he get to do? Talk? That's it.
On the other hand, Spiderman, Cap, Hercules all got some good time on panels, but I just wish they would have shown more of the battle. IMO, they could have cut the whole IW going back to Reed thing to a lot shorter, and had a Narrator do the rest, and give us some more battle time.
All in all, Civil War 7 was badass, and I throughly enjoyed reading it, I just wish there were a few more feats everyone was hoping for.
