Story Name:

Embedded Part Six


Synopsis

Civil War: Front Line #6 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

As Ben Urich cleans out his desk, Robbie Robertson tells him that J. Jonah Jameson wasn’t serious when he fired the reporter. But Ben is fed up with the way he has been treated over the years by Jameson and fears the Green Goblin’s threats so plans to depart, never to return. Robbie promises him that he will print Ben’s Goblin story as written so Ben reluctantly returns to his desk….

In federal custody, Sally Floyd is questioned by SHIELD Agent Eric Marshall about the mystery man she met with in Chinatown (last issue). She is remarkably defiant so Reed Richards suggests that Marshall offer her a deal….

Ben Urich is at the Geffen-Meyer Chemical plant, reporting on the battle between the pro-registration forces led by Iron Man, and the anti-reg group headed by Captain America. Ben and his photographer are hard-pressed to avoid the conflict but they are in position when the Thor clone arrives and kills Goliath (Bill Foster). After the battle Tony Stark is interviewed by Ben Urich, explaining that he expects "Thor" to be exonerated. Ben asks about his suspicion that Stark is recruiting villains to enforce the Act in the wake of his visit from the Green Goblin. Stark refuses to answer and walks away. Ben knows he’s on to something….

Rating: 3.5 stars
As Robbie Baldwin, the former Speedball, is being moved under heavy restraint to another part of the super-prison nicknamed Fantasy Island, he composes a letter to his mother in his head, still coping with the situation by means of humor: the letter sounds like he is at summer camp. He is brought to a room where Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic, is waiting. Reed tries to be friendly but Robbie bitterly rejects his overtures. Then Reed invites him to address Congress, revealing his side of the controversy. Robbie agrees. The next day with his lawyer She-Hulk, he is escorted by guards past the shouting reporters toward the Capitol entrance. Suddenly a man steps out of the crowd and fires a bullet into Robbie’s abdomen….

Review / Commentaries


Civil War: Front Line #6 Review by (October 3, 2014)
Review: See issue #1 for full review.

Comments: 1) The climax of the story covers the same battle as CIVIL WAR #3-4. A number of heroes can be spotted in the large battle scene, including Captain America, Spider-Man, and the Thing. 2) The shooting of Robbie on the last page is designed to look like Jack Ruby’s murder of Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963.
