Sides have been drawn, battles have been fought, but it all comes down to this. Captain Marvel versus Iron Man over the future of the Marvel Universe, one of the biggest battles in Marvel history!
Rated T+
It's an interesting thought, but as an 8-issue mini-series, it feels mighty thin and ultimately inconsequential. Read Full Review
Issue #6 is a pivot point for the series, and plants a variety of seeds for the remaining issues. Captain Marvel has dug quite the hole for herself, but Civil War II #6 cracked open the door to redemption just a bit, and could really be the turning point for the series. Read Full Review
We've only got a couple issues left of CiviL War II and, so far, it looks like it'll be pretty forgetful outside of opening the door to the Champions versus the Avengers split. But we've already had the major clash between both sides " again, "major" " and it's best to just push forward and hope for a solid conclusion. Art's still absolutely beautiful though. So it's cool to look at. Read Full Review
Civil War II has had more than its fair share of problems. The sixth issue changes the game by unifying the story and placing the characters firmly within it, rather than relying on event-convenient ideology and behavior. I wish the rest of the series had been written like this issue, because it could have had a much stronger start. On its own, this issue is a cut above the rest in the event, but though it tied together the threads started in the ones that came before, it still has problems that arent easily fixed.

There's some interesting things in the issue and it gets closer to the premise we were promised, but like previous issues it just feels empty at this point too. We had battles that were just thrown together and this too feels like a quick deescalation. Much like the event as a whole, the issue is a step off. The final panel is an interesting one and I want to see what Bendis has up his sleeve, but at this point it's really hard to keep going. Read Full Review
In Civil War II #6, writer Brian Michael Bendis, artist David Marquez, colorist Justin Ponsor, and letterer Clayton Cowles follow up on the vision the Inhuman Ulysses projected last issue. The results are a lot of angst, some disappointment, and lots of great, emotional artwork. Read Full Review
Civil War II has had trouble building momentum from the beginning, and this issue does nothing to address that problem. There are some strong emotional moments here, and plenty of stunning artwork from Marquez and Ponsor, but the sluggish pace and generally listless nature of the conflict continue to frustrate. Read Full Review
Overall, we're slowly getting towards the conflict we were promised, but like other issues, it just feels a tad empty. We're interested to see where Bendis will go after the cliffhanger at the end, but it's probably too-little too-late for this event to be redeemed. Read Full Review
While it's a welcome change from the original that Civil War II hasn't become an all-out brawl without time for character, this feels too late for the event to be having the conversations where both sides are well and truly given equal weight. Read Full Review
We have three issue left and this one showed that there is some hope that things could get better. But it also showed how if the series had been condensed to 4 or 6 issues instead of the drawn out 9 the story would have been a lot more solid. I can't recommended picking this up, but I will say that it is one of the better issues from this event. Read Full Review
There is much drama and changing of sides here, but it's all presented as conversation and stalking away, which makes it feel like the issue is light on story. (It's actually not, quite a few characters make important decisions in this issue which change the nature of the conflict, but the way it is presented makes it easy to miss a lot of that.) Civil War II #6 is the story of the bottom falling out for Captain Marvel, featuring lovely art and a story that dwells much on the talky-talky but misses the importance of the conversations. Read Full Review
Civil War II #6 is a step up from the last issue, with some minor improvements to getting the story back on track and fixing the issues with the inking. Its main problem lies in the fact that not much was accomplished by the end, mostly just setting things up for the other books or the final two issues. It ultimately leaves the comic rather uneventful with not much to talk about. Perhaps things will pick up as we reach the final stretch. Read Full Review
The reader could easily skip Civil War II #6 and hop aboard for Civil War II #7 and not miss a thing at all. That is simply inexcusable for a $5.00 big event issue. Read Full Review
With CW expanded to 8 issues it's surprising that Bendis didn't take advantage of the space to enhance the story. Instead he chose to stretch out an already thin plot. One can only hope the climax is worth the wait. Read Full Review
Half of this comic is people crying. And the other half is people hugging. And that is literally all there is to this book other than a few panels with questionable dialog choices. Read Full Review
We have two issues left on this series, and judging by the cliffhanger, it might mean something - but at this point, Civil War II has largely been about circling a conflict rather than diving into it head-on, leaving this event book about as unsatisfying as it gets. Read Full Review
Save your money since the answers are coming out in the Marvel Now line of books being published currently anyway. You'll find answers there before this will event even sniffs the finish line anyway. Read Full Review
Very emotional issue where Miles worst feels become realized in Ulysses vision. The act of Captain Rodgers leaves many rethinking their stance. The young heroes that know Miles well, and some of the current Avengers, begin to realize the visions may not be as accurate as they seemed. The young heroes decide to go off on their own. I think this really plays into the fear that Miles always had that he would become violent like his uncle and could easily go down the wrong path. The art does a powerful job of showing that emotion. Although we have already seen where this conflict leads mostly it is still an interesting tale.
I felt like this issue was the bright point of the series, so far. The characters feelings and reactions seem organic. You can see that Carol is standing by her convictions while others are starting to question Ulysses' power. I love that this story is heading to the right direction. Is it the block-buster action packed event of the year? No, and probably won't be but it is doing a great point of giving the newer heroes a voice and important role to play in this universe. Plus, the art of Marquez and Posnor is something to behold because it is a beautifully drawn and colored book.
OK, I think we've all accepted that the premise of this story is fucking stupid and the character motivations are extremely unbelievable. That said, this issue provided strong emotional interactions between the characters that was somewhat satisfying. And the artwork is mind-blowingly good. I feel safe giving this individual issue a 7.5. Might've even given it an 8 if not for the inflated price.
Whilst the stunning artwork will draw your eye, after the strong T'Challa exchange with Col. Danvers, this issue becomes terribly drawn out and boring. The mistake at which Thor is seen to fly away and on the next page is behind Dr. Strange being teleported away illustrates how easy even the artist forgets this issue. However after reading the latest Steve Rogers issue, there is a building of tension in the works.
Arts still good. This issue does not progress the story at all. Instead it does the same thing its been doing this time with the most ridiculous what if of all. Tony and Carol were poorly written it doesnt even feel like Bendis is trying anymore.
Fact: There are pretty pictures in this book.
Fact: There are also words.
Fact: There is a lot of characters.
Fact: Most of those characters have nothing to do but stand there.
Fact: I can't tell if issue 6 is better than issue 5 because I don't really remember it...
