The good: Hercules thrashing the cyber-clone Thor with Monjor.
Atlantian reinforcements were a nice suprise. The SHIELD lady who seemed to enjoy her job too much getting busted down.
Sue not buying Reed's line of BS.
Not all giving-up
The bad: Clone troopers. Seriously, leave it in Star Wars.
Wrong side won.
Iron Man inhimited by Vision phasing through him. I mean realy! Wouldn't he have taken precautions for such an event WAY back when Ariel (now Shadowcat) fried a suit?

I have to admit though, Marvel kept its word.
The Civil War promised it would forever change the Marvel Universe and… it has.
The Act continues. Rogers turns himself in. Stark becomes the new S.H.I.E.L.D. director. Retrained and resurrected old heroes to every state in America. The Avengers are split. The Fantastic Four reformed.
Technically, it would have all been bullshit if everything went back to normal. Where would the change have been? It’s not the best, or the most popular, but it is a definite change. I don’t see it lasting any longer than serving the purpose of some sort of national injustice that must be corrected later on by some underground uprising in a later major Marvel event. And then, it goes back to normal.
“Imperious Rex!” was a nice touch. “Thou art no Thor!” took the words out of every Thor fan’s mouth. But it all ended so… quietly.
It makes sense. Frank had it right from the start. “Thanks ‘Civil War.’ You’re really making it easy to keep real people safe. Half the good guys driven underground and the other half split between bringing them in and going after the bad guys… who are taking full advantage of the chaos.” Capt made his first mistake when he fought Stark’s cause in the same fashion everyone tried to prevent. Made more of a mess fighting it than he would have diplomatically opposing it. After all, Tony did extend his hand in friendship to Steve only to be electrocuted in return. Tony still wasn’t any wiser to fight back.
Not to say Pro-Registration was the right way to go, but that Anti-Registration fought it all wrong.

I spent the entire time waiting for the big death that would cause "Fallen Son". It never came, unfortunately, so from that perspective, I was disappointed; it was so anti-climactic, so...average for the end of an event as large as CW. How many issues did I buy to lead up to that? I can't believe that the big revelations are coming in Frontline, and not the mini itself.
The story itself, however, was great; the art was the best of the series, in my opinion, and although I hated the public's reaction (Marvel's whole Iron Man is the good guy thing, despite him cloning his friend, recruiting killers, manipulating Spider-Man, hiring hitmen out on himself, and causing the death of a hero, does not sit well with me), Cap's surrender was nicely done and fits his character.
Overall, I give it a seven out of ten,
