Amazing Comics: Civil War - Wolverine by Humberto Ramos and Marc Guggenheim


Civil War is an amazing cross-over Marvel event - one of the best ever. It focusses on a a main storyline, with a great number of references to these events in almost all running Marvel series. You can find collections of those comics with references, but in many cases you are either dropped in the middle of an ongoing storyline (hard to follow) in which the direct reference to the Civil War doesn't add a lot to the story. In the other case it is just a retelling of part of the story but from the perspective other characters.

Luckely there are some exceptions and "Civil War: Wolverine" is one of them. It brings the initial Civil War events in another shade of light. It's a real pageturner, drawn by top-artist Humberto Ramos. Of all books by this artist, this is the one you really want. He abandons his Frank Miller influences (see also "Wolverine: enemy of the state) to bring you a modern, powerfull and energetic sequence of drawings that are just waiting to be put up on the wall.

Blows you off your socks.

Nice post... Looks like flash memory is finally beginning to become more popular. Hopefully we'll start seeing a drop in solid state harddisk prices in the near future. Five dollar 32 GB Micro SDs for your DS flash card... imagine that!
