Good Work from Leob

Bad news first its by Leob Good news its actually worth reading, there's no massive continuity errors many have come to expect from him. I really liked it and I hope you do too

Marvel Civil War's Final Ending

I got to say i'm probably a bit one sided on this book because Captain America is my favorite Marvel character. To tell the truth though, theres not alot of cap in this book. Nevertheless, I loved this book! I just finished reading it for the first time and I am re-reading it now. The art is absolutley (in my mind) amazing. In my opinion this book definitley lived up to the The Death of Captain America series. The stories were fantastic and once again, the art is awesome. If you've read Civil War definitley get this book. The writing though is(to me at least) very touching. When Iron Man says good-bye to Cap for the last time it really struck a nerve. But, in my opinion there was not a single weak story. i mean sure some Stories were stronger than others (Wolverine, Spider-man and Iron-Man being my favorites.) if I had to pick my least favorite though It be the new avengers one. But,it still is a fantastic read. If your a Captain America fan, a Civil War lover, or just enjoy good stories pick this one up.

Great comic!

I already knew this comic book didn't include the actual comic of Captain America's death, but I bought it anyway. i actually enjoyed this comic. Some of the lines were kinda corny, but that's a comic book for ya. Anyway, I would recommend this book to any comic book lover.

It's a shame I can't give it ten stars

I have to say, I absolutely loved this book. It almost made my permanent collection, but it didn't, only because of all the books you have to read to prepare for it (the early new avengers, most of the civil war books, death of Captain America, and a working knowledge of all included. Wolverine is the first one, and what I really loved was seeing a man so jaded when it comes to death be really affected, in denial. The Avengers were next and I liked it, though it probably is the weakest story in here. The Cap America story... wow. Spider-Man comes next, and let me tell you, Peter responds the only way he knows how, with tremendous hurt and guilt. And we close with the funeral in Iron Man. And you get the sense that something new is coming out from within him. You don't have to buy this book, but you mus read it.

The excellent good buy to a really good character

This book presents all the stages of sadness, first the denied, second rege, third depression and final aceptance. The art is really good and the story is great, this is must have because has all the best drawer in the comics business.
