Thought it would be cool to do a talkback on whatever "Civil War" books come out per week.
I think it would be a good idea if we kept these "Talkback" threads purely about the issues at hand, and try not to veer off-topic.
So, without further ado . . .
She-Hulk # 8
For the most part, I think this was the better issue out of the pair that came out today. This issue was mostly dedicated to dealing with the fallout of the New Warriors' death.
It offers a very realistic story, one that is quite emotional. It builds its foundation off of "Civil War" # 1, though it doesn't quite follow the pro-/anti-registration arguement. Instead, it concentrates on the struggles of the remaining members of the New Warriors.
Dan Slott does a fine of establishing the tension in the Marvel Universe these days. The anti-New Warriors sentiment is well done, though I'm a little lost as to who "Hindsight Lad" was. Was he a former New Warrior? Whatever the case may be, his acts against members of the New Warriors are the core of the story he acts as a pretty good antagonist. The art by Paul Smith is well-done too.

Wolverine # 42
Wolverine is dedicated to finding Nitro, the true villain of the Stamford tragedy. Though he recieves very little help from the others, he sets out on his quest.
The writer (whose name escapes me at the time and I don't have the issue in front of me) writes a good Wolverine and does a fairly good job on expanding on the scenes from "Civil War" # 1.
Ramos does an okay job on, though his Wolverine looks a wee bit too shaggy. Some good moments with Cage and Iron Man, as well as the X-Men.
Overall, a good issue, if not a little weakened by being relying too heavily on "Civil War" # 1.
