Review / Commentaries


Civil War: Front Line #5 Review by (September 25, 2014)
Review: See issue #1 for full review.

Comments: 1) The mystery man who speaks to Sally Floyd is assumed by many to be Captain America in disguise; I don’t know, he comes off a little too mean and tough for Cap. The Green Goblin’s freedom was foreshadowed in “Civil War: The Program” in issue #1 of this series.


Civil War: Front Line #5 Review by (September 26, 2014)
The Embedded story in #8 suggests that Sally's mystery man was Nick Fury.
