Some really touching scenes, but I still don't like Iron Man in this Civil War story arc.

"Iron man/Captain America: Casualties of war" had such stellar dialogue, and "The Confession." I'm in tears

Made up for the mess and terrible political philosophy inside the rest of the series.

I really liked Civil War - but as a big Tony Stark fan, I enjoyed this more as it gave better insight into Tony's actions. You get to really see why he did what he did - he really thought he was doing the right thing.

As an old Iron Man fan, I really enjoyed the first story presented here - basically it's Tony Stark and Steve Rogers talking and going over their old battles. Despite not regularly reading superhero comics for about 20 years (but still taking a peak once in a while) I remembered most of the incidents between the characters. I was impressed at how these events are recontextualised for the Civil War arc - they didn't change the originals, but managed to fit them into a wider context in a believable way. I was impressed by that. The dialogue also works really well - believable, revealing, consistent...
The rest of the issue was fine - diverting enough, but nothing revelatory. But I do recommend that first issue.

Unlike Civil War: Captain America, Iron Man was great! It gave much more time to letting Iron Man voice some of his perspective and inner thoughts. It helped illuminate some of the internal questions and struggles Iron Man was having during this whole event.
Perhaps the best part of this volume are the beginning, where Cap and Iron Man have a heart to heart about the conflict, reflecting on past instances they came to blows, and the end, which has Iron Man reflecting on the event after "Winning."
A very strong entry in the Civil War Storyline, I think this is a must read to help give better perspective to both sides of the conflict.

Hopefully somewhere out there is a coherent book that actually tells the story of the Marvel Civil War. I've yet to find it, and this certainly wasn't it. It had pieces of it - some of the beginning and the middle and the end. A lot of it was just talking between Iron Man and Captain America. But in the end it was too incoherent to be enjoyable. The pieces were good but the whole just was unbelievable.
