The second issue, with the Leader, was pure hilarium, especially the bit about Wolverine not being allowed to use his claws. It’s an ongoing, and yeah, it’s pure brilliance.

So that's my option to the Civil War stuff. "Hulk think puny Banner, must be cashing Hulk checks." Hah! (I hope it is a regular series) I just bought the Marvel Adventures Avengers collection/magazine at Target and found it to be hilariouos fun. So that’s my option to the Civil War stuff.

(I just read the synopsis on Wikipedia and then decide if I'm going to buy the trade.) What really annoys me here is that Marvel is doing the same thing that irks me so much about DC: they're dragging the heroes down, vilifying them, making them unlikeable, and stripping them of the things that made them interesting. Tony employing the villains to track Cap and the pro-regs was probably the final straw in terms of that. There's getting to be less and less Big Two books that I can actually stand. Even the Ultimate Universe is losing its freshness. The only stuff I can really read are the books that are largely disconnected from continuity...Nextwave, X-Factor, Runaways, Justice, All-Star Superman, Ultimate Spider-Man.

Unless they throw out the old "mind control" or "imposters" cliches, I'm kind of in shock at how blatently these characters are being misused. And considering that this is Joe Quesada's Marvel, that's saying something. Makes me glad that like yourself, I stopped really caring a while ago. I just read the Wikipedia entry on CW #4.
