Product Description:
Life couldn't be more complicated - or more dangerous - for Peter Parker. After rushing to the aftermath of the Stamford Massacre to offer aid to its victims, Peter travels with Tony Stark to Washington, D.C., and the White House - where the enactment of the Super Hero Registration Act appears imminent. As the Marvel Universe braces for the implications of legislation that will forever change the societal status of super heroes, Peter is forced to make an important personal decision - maybe the most important decision of his life. As Civil War tears apart the super hero community, will Spidey stay true to that decision? Collects Amazing Spider-Man #532-538.

4 out of 5 starsBorn of Two Fathers
This is a very good feeder story for the overall Civil War event. Spider-Man has always been one of the most compelling characters in the Marvel universe and this book is no different. What I really enjoyed was the portrayal of Parker as a guy who has a good heart but is still looking for a father figure. Like the line in Platoon he is "a child born of those two fathers, fighting for possession of my soul." Parker is truly torn between Cap and Iron Man and, like always, his concern and need to protect his family. I would almost have like to seen a super criminal take an interest here, but I guess the Kingpin is ok. The only real problem I have with the book is that there is no reference to the major beating that Parker takes in the sewers in "Civil War". It's almost like it didn't happen...



5 out of 5 starsAn interesting take on the Marvel universe...
This was the first book I read in the Marvel "Civil War" line, and I found it intriguing and fun to read.



4 out of 5 starsBefore the Fall, A Hero's Choice
Before "One More Day" put a stain on the Spider-Man mythos, Spider-Man had to deal with the consequences of his decisions in Marvel's Civil War.

These issues collected from the Civil War event show Peter reaching out to Tony Stark as a father figure, hoping for stability in his life only to realize he's chosen the wrong role model.

Of course there is also the lead-up to Spider-Man's unmasking, which is very well done. There is a great moment where Peter, May and M.J. discuss the implications of revealing Spider-Man's identity to the world that is particularly emotional.

A great collection of fantastic stories.



3 out of 5 starsGood...Not great though.
I enjoyed seeing Peter once again fight internally. The choices are hard and when you come down to it. The way Peter reacted is the way most people would. But at the same time the fighting is cheap. Seems like just adding it in for 2 pages and then another 20 pages of dialog. Though i love a good spidy story this one wasn't amazing. While entertaining it didn't make me go "Whoa!" And the unviewling was amazing back then but reading it again feels weak.

So though the ending was great it was the best spidy novel.



5 out of 5 starsoutstanding story
Spider-Man Civil War is a must have for any new or old Spider-Man fan. The story of Peter Parker's struggle with the law and what is right or wrong was incredible. I actually became a regular Spider-Man comic book collector from reading this book. If you liked this graphic novel I would also suggest Spider-Man: Back in Black.
