• The final battle of the Civil War. Heroes and Villains from both sides of the Divide clash in an epic confrontation to determine the future of the Warzone once and for all!
Rated T+
Civil War #5 fulfills in the greatest sense, most of our expectations as a worthy "What If?" scenario of the previous mega-event hit. True to form, everything comes with a price, one way or another. Read Full Review
What made the original CIVIL WAR so fascinating was that there was no puppet master behind the scenes manipulating the heroes against each other; we got to see everything, from the inciting incident to the mistakes made on both sides to the crushing finale and the aftermath. CIVIL WAR 2015 feels like everything the original CIVIL WAR tried to avoid being, and feels like a kind of fan-fiction continuation of that series. I commend Charles Soule and Lenil Yu for trying, and they absolutely gave it their best shot, but it just misses the mark and never reaches the heights of the original series. That said, I'm a sucker for anything CIVIL WAR, so bring on CIVIL WAR 2! Read Full Review
Civil War #5 is a solid conclusion to this miniseries. Leinil Yu's art is as beautiful as ever and Charles Soule builds some great character moments, though the book's ending is quite abrupt. Read Full Review
Writer Charles Soule's disinterest continues to become more and more apparent in each passing issue, as he continues to fail expanding on crucial plot points " plot points such as why the Skrulls are instigating the war in the first place; how Hawkeye/Venom, Wolverine/Hulk became fused together; how two major characters died in an explosion, yet everyone else seemed to escape just fine. They all seem to be ignored here. Something tells me if the series expanded out to about 8 or 9 issues we would've had a lot more attention to detail, but alas that isn't the case. Issue #5 feels like Soule taking the metophorical dog behind the shed to put him down. Wish it wasn't so, but it's true. Read Full Review
The plot twist did kind of take away the point from the original series because the Skrulls were manipulating the whole war, but hey, I’m a sucker for happy endings (and Leinil Yu art!)
A solid ending to a good series. To go along with what Supercoolyeah said, I must have also missed the explanation about Wolverine becoming the Hulk.
Ok so the Civil War is finally over and not the way you expected. It was kinda a silly ending without nothing really being resolved. It does leave you with some questions like where the hell did all these Skrulls come from and why does the Hulk have claws??? Other than that it was a decent ending and it made me smile. Yu's art, btw, is awesome and the of Gho and Milla were on point. A solid ending.
Big fat dud. The plot twist pretty much wasted the original concept, so this is even further removed from Civil War than it seemed at first.
What a waste of time and money
