Jun 22, 2016Damage Control are a team who specialize in the clean-up after superheroes and villains clash. This story couldn't be any less relevant to Civil War II to be honest, mainly focusing on how strapped for cash they are. It shows the realistic and relatable side of the Marvel Universe, as they are just ordinary every-day people who are trying to get by. The artwork was definitely nothing special, but was detailed enough to get a good scale as to the damage that had been caused. The story involved an "Unhuman" who'd taken the form of machinery, who quickly changes alliance to assist the team going forward in later issues. Read Full Review

Jun 28, 2016This is a great tie-in to Marvel’s summer event that is Civil War II. I’m stoked to see how everything fits together. I actually hope we see more of Damage Control. The only thing that throws me off about this issue is the cover. We have Iron Man, Captain Marvel, the Hulk, Deadpool, Captain America, She-Hulk, the Vision, and all the big heroes that you all know about—but they are nowhere in the issue. The few times they appear, it’s only for a panel or two at a time. That’s a bit deceptive, but the issue is worth a read. Read Full Review

Jun 23, 2016Marvel fans could certainly do worse if they crave an anthology adventure, but hopefully future chapters will delve a little deeper into the main conflict. Read Full Review

Jun 23, 2016Though the artwork throughout satisfies, especially the Chris Samnee-esque team of Leonardo Romeo and Miroslav Mrva on Damage Control, Civil War II: Choosing Sides #1 doesn't have enough clout behind it to truly win over anyone but the diehards. Read Full Review

Jun 27, 2016Misleading subtitle aside, there is certainly a lot of potential in "Civil War II: Choosing Sides" #1. Unfortunately, however, only one out of three stories is memorable, so future issues will need to produce stronger pieces if readers are going to stick around for all six. In this chapter, Damage Control really performs the cleanup job. Read Full Review

Jun 22, 2016I could have forgiven the deceptive marketing had this comic supplied a few compelling stories that truly tied into to greater story. Unfortunately Civil War II: Choosing Sides #1 is a massive disappointment and nothing more than a vain attempt to sell more tie-ins. All but one of the stories has any value and it's significance will undoubtedly be small at best. That added on top of substandard art, this is a Civil War II tie-in that you can surely pass on.

Do you need to read this to feel that your Civil War II experience is complete??? NOOOOO Not in any way. It's just a bunch of little vignettes pasted together. The best story was the damage control story it's cute and cheeky fun and the art of Romero and coloring of Mrva are on point. Everything else is just weak.
