Civil War

Overall Rating: 4/5
"I want to do what's right."
As a fan of the Civil War comics myself, I think this book was a pretty good adaptation of the events. The differences between the graphic novel & this novel were not very major. Some details were tweaked here & there, but the package remains the same. With that said, although the book was really faithful to the seven-issues Civil War event (even all the dialogue!), I was quite disappointed that it didn't consider any of the tie-in issues at all.
I know some of the tie-in issues were really quite irrelevant, but I found several issues to be rather excellent as they furthered the plot substantially. Take for example, the Iron Man tie-in issues. Those showed us the deep-rooted friendship of Tony Stark & Steve Rogers gradually withering away due to the fact that they stand on opposite sides of the war. Ugh, feels.
Ultimately, I will still highly recommend this novel to anyone who will listen to my mad Civil War ravings. Especially since it is quite difficult to follow the comics story arc when the story is so disjointed (considering the tie-in issues).
