Re: Civil War ... Um ... -Ham
Okay, I am a sucker for parody. I found the Civil War: Spider-Ham one-shot at the local shop and had to give you guys a sneak peak:

Oh wow...just read #7. It's sad to see it end. (Even though the aftermath will go on for awhile)
**********************Spoilers In White**********************
After the battle starts, Cloak does this huge teleport from the negative zone to the streets of New York. Namor and a bunch of Atlantians show up to help Cap, Clone Thor and a few other clones show up to help Iron Man. Cap and Iron Man duke it out, Caps about to kill Iron Man, when a bunch of civillians jump on him and try and make him stop. He starts crying and gives this speech about he's not fighting for freedom anymore, he's just fighting. So he drops the shield and walks up to a couple of cops and asks them to arrest him, not as Captain America, but as Steve Rogers. Then Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic get back together after he gets shot saving her (but lives), Tony Stark gets appointed head of Shield by the president, the Initiative is set up (a group of heroes in every state) and Capt America goes to jail. Also, Aunt May gets shot by a bullet from a sniper rifle meant for Peter.
All in all, it was quiet the ride, and I thought it was a good beginning for an end.

I like this one better.
But now that the Ill Jedi ruined the whole story for me by telling me the outcome, there's no point in reading anymore.

Time to bring out the Hulkbuster Armor.
Man what happened in Civil War? I'm afraid to read it now. Was Stark really that much of a *******?
I hated the Civil War ending! And Cap's side was even winning...guess we'll see the final outcome in Civil War: The Initiative and see it all destroyed in World War Hulk!

I have always been very lenient with Marvel Crossovers. I can usually look at the overall story arc and find something to like. However, it only took 15 pages for Civil War to go from cool concept to crap ... I am talking about the last half of book 7. Now, I had waited 6 issues for something to happen other than b##ching and posturing. I wanted something meaningful to end this story. And what do they give us?!? Operation Zero Tolerance Part 2 (obscure X-men reference .. sure.. 20 points to whoever got that aside). One of the limpest, non-rewarding endings in the history of Marvel Comics. In fact, Civil War served as nothing more than an excuse to make another 20 Initiative minis or 50 I guess .. can't wait for The Initiative, Code Name Nebraska .... oww.. the mind reels. Or maybe that's my lunch.
They didn't even have the balls to let a real character kill Goliath. A real hero who would have had to come to grips with his actions. A real reaction that might have led to character development. But no, they create a Robo-Thor to do it ... then proceed to destroy him 3 books later. What was the point?
My friends talked crap about Civil War from the beginning, but I so wanted it to succeed. Millar was a great writer and the art looked awesome. But it turns out they were right all along. I truly hope Millar was forced to end it that way by his editors. Because that tripe was not the Millar I have been reading and enjoying for the last few years.
So, to end this tirade , I have finally decided on my Civil War banner ... excuse me for not taking the time to find a pretty picture.
I'M WITH ... EVERYONE WHO WANTS THEIR MONEY BACK!

How exactly did I ruin the whole story? I didn't give away any exact details.

That's about how I feel as well.
This ending sucked.
I thought DC's Crisis series weren't fabulous but at least in the end I wasn't absolutely pi$$ed. Civil War was very entertaining, much more than DC's recent crossovers, but that doesn't matter if the story ends so badly like this. The momentum was just killed with Cap's conclusion.
In the end Civil War ruined Spider-Man, Cap, and Iron Man.
I now have no reason to buy any Marvel book.
