Civil War II

Hey...I didn't hate this. That's something I didn't expect. I read Civil War a few years back and didn't particularly enjoy it much. So I figured 2, which was just a cash grab for the movie alongside it, would be terrible. I thought this had some neat ideas, some great moments, but a pretty shitty finisher.
What I liked: The art. The art is a fucking 5 out of 5. It's so smooth and nice looking. Never have fights looked so slick and easy. I also love mostly everyone's design in here. Also the idea of the story, having a future that COULD help or make it worse, was interesting. I actually saw sides to both and would find it difficult to figure out which side to choose. So the first few issues built up some pretty interesting discussions and choices. Also thought the moment with Cap and Miles was really well done, especially when you know what Cap is really doing behind the scenes.
What I didn't like: That Carol was written like a evil bitch who had no control. Carol is a smart character, she was written stupid here. I even expect a sudden outburst of anger but then when you have time to reflect, and know what went wrong, and push even further it makes no sense. Also Tony is just a prick who does stupid shit sometimes in here. He's supposed to be smart, calculated. Instead he's rash and dumb at times and written to close to dumbness for my liking. Also the ending was anti-climatic and felt empty. Like none of this should have happened. Which is a shame because first few issues are interesting.
I didn't find this terrible just down the line meh. It had great moments, stupid moments, mix it together and you get meh or just okay. So for that I give it a 2.5. Bumping it to 3 just because I fucking love the art. Hoping Secret Empire is better and from what I read so far it will be.
