Civil War Gets Major News Coverage

[GrnMarvl14]

Geez, is this thing EVER getting a response:

Metro News Covers Civil War
Asbury Park Press Has Their Take.
Deseret News has an article as well.
ABC News even has some video coverage. May take a little finding there, but they have two stories on it. One is an interview with Quesada, the other is a grand overview of the themes involved in the War.

Very heavy coverage. And remember, everyone...Civil War #1 hits stands May 3, 2006. I can only push this so much.

So is this, like, Marvel's answer to Inifinite Crisis?

Eh, both Marvel and DC have been doing the "OMG SUPA EVENT CANT MISS IT BYE BUY IT NOW MINIONS" thing for a couple years. Avengers Disassembled and Identity Crisis were the first major ones of this century, am I right? Which came first?

What's funny is how Marvel tries claiming this is connected to all the House of M/Decimation business, but it doesn't seem to be at all.

Infinite Crisis has a lot to do with the Multiverse and "cosmic stuff" (as Spider-Man says), right? Civil War focuses more on the politics and rights of super heroes.

Anyway, not terribly impressed with the news coverage until we get to the level of publicity the Death of Superman event got. ^^

Issue one hits today... *gulp* My expectations are very low.

New Avengers: Illuminati explains it all.

Both companies have been doing mega events for decades. There's no REAL comparisons you can draw between the two events beyond the fact that they're both company-wide. Both companies usually do one or two REALLY big events every year, and Civil War and Infinite Crisis/52 are just this year's.
