So, at this moment of the story, who do you think will be in either side of the war ?
From C.W. 1 I would say
Side A: Cap, Falcon, Daredevil, possibly Cage and Dr. Strange (from what was hinted in the Illuminati)
Side B: Iron Man, Reed, Yellowjacket, She-Hulk.
Any guess for the others ?

Side A: Cap, Falcon, Daredevil, Cage, Dr. Strange, Namor, Hercules, Dagger, Wolverine (who has always shown respect for Cap), and the whole Young Avengers team.
Side B: They have revealed through covers that Ms. Marvel, Tigra, and Wonderman will also be on Side B. They also hint that Spiderman will start on Side B but defect to Side A.
I think the X-men will also be split down the middle but will play less of a role in the major events of Civil War since they have their own CW miniseries and are still recovering from House of M, Decimation, and the 198 related events. The leaders will be Cyclops on Side A and Bishop, being a police officer, will be on Side B. Deadpool and Cable will also be on Side B.

Interesting... I can also see Black Panther and most of the F.F. on side B, while Thor, had he been alive, would be on side A (if anything out of his friendship with Cap).

It seems to me that the SuperHuman Registration Act would be almost the same thing as drafting all super heroes into SHIELD or else retire. I think Spidey will take Cap's side.

It's quite sad that the heroes are going to fight each other in this way. After fighting alongside for many years and trusting each other with their lives, it should take more than a government order to put them at war.

Nah, I don´t see it that way. Super Heroes are humans too like we all are, with problems, flaws and different interests, just like us. So, it´s only accurate to show them that way. And, isn´t the Marvel U the one with the most realistic characters at all (thank you for that accomplishment once again, Stan ?

We already saw the heroes on different sides many times (Avengers/Defenders clash anyone?). In the MU there are many many kinds of superheroes, they oft have different POV and interests.

It's true, but that was a long time ago, when groups were fairly new, and there were frequent hero vs hero clashes. I agree that they can all have different POV, but fighting against each other, possibly to the death ? After many years of friendship one would hope in something less drastic. Anyway, this characterization traits are making CW more interesting than HoM or Disassembled (IMO) so it could end up being a very nice storyline (hoping it's not just the prologue to something else).

According to Wikipedia, this is an update for the two sides:
Side A:
Confirmed
Captain America - Civil War #1 Black Bolt - New Avengers: The Illuminati Dr. Strange - New Avengers: The Illuminati John Jameson - She-Hulk #8 Justice - She-Hulk #8 Luke Cage - New Avengers #22 Rage - She-Hulk #8 She-Hulk (as Jennifer Walters) - She-Hulk #8 Wolverine - Wolverine #42
Unconfirmed, but indicated Namor - New Avengers: The Illuminati Thing - Fantastic Four #539 Ultra Girl - She-Hulk #8 Firestar - She-Hulk #8 Timeslip - She-Hulk #8 Debrii - She-Hulk #8 Slapstick - She-Hulk #8 Falcon - Civil War #1 Wasp - Civil War #1 Cyclops - Promo Art Invisible Woman - Marvel Human Torch - Promo Art Daredevil - Cable & Deadpool #30 The Young Avengers - Solicitations The Runaways - Solicitations Prodigy - Civil War: Front Line #2
Side B (government):
Confirmed Iron Man - New Avengers: The Illuminati Henry Pym - Civil War #1 Mr. Fantastic - New Avengers: The Illuminati She-Hulk - She-Hulk #8 Ms. Marvel - Solicitations Wonder Man - Solicitations Arachne - Solicitations
Unconfirmed, but indicated Bishop - Promo Art Colossus - Promo Art Goliath - Promo Art Sentry - Promo Art Tigra - Promo Art Nighthawk - Civil War #1 Spider-Man - The Amazing Spider-Man #532
Hero Hunters Thunderbolts - Thunderbolts #104 Deadpool - Cable & Deadpool #30 Punisher - Solicitations Baron Zemo - Thunderbolts #104 Heroes for Hire - Heroes for Hire #1 X-Factor Investigations - X-Factor #9
Apparently, issue #3 will involve a lot of side swapping. I'm quite surprised by having the Thing at Cap's side, in CW 1 he seemed to agree with Reed and Iron Man.

I had the same impression with Ben, too. But as you said there was a lot changing of sides announced. I´m eagerly looking for CW #2, hopefully I can buy it by the end of next week.

If this list is correct, Cap's side has an edge in numbers and many young heroes, while Iron Man's side has less overall heroes but more powerhouses.

Remember that Iron Man's side has all the government agents on it, include the demonstrated corps of paranormals employed by SHIELD.
What I hope they explore is where the villains line up. Are they all, by default, on Side A, if for different reasons than Cap? Or will some of them negotiate pardons by agreeing to join Side B?
