Civil War: Front Line Vol. 1 (Front Line Book) Kindle & comiXology

I love all marvel books.The art are great and the stories are amazing.Were never too old for comics books

This is one of the better books in the "Civil War"-series. It stays in the centre of things, and reveals several crucial points about the politics and motivations behind the Civil War waged between super heroes for and against the "registration act", which forces them to reveal their identities to the authorites.The charm of this particular installment, is that it is mpstly seen from the perspective of regular humans, embodied in two journalists, and deals with more devious maschinations than mere spandex-guys punching each other.Very well drawn, and with a well-planned and exciting story, told bit by bit. The only annoying part, are some small moral-pieces comparing the Marvel civil war to other American war stories.Apart from the main "Civil War" book, I recommend "Frontline" 1 & 2 as the essential reads for anyone, who want the main stories. Also a good place to start.

There's a saying along the lines of history belonging to the victors. In this imagining, what with various reporters on the ground (Ben Ulrich, Sally Flynn, et al), that isn't necessarily the case. The reporters are on the front-line, literally capturing everything that's going on, and having some bad moments along the way. In addition, this comic attempts to ground Marvel's civil war alongside various civil wars in history, and doesn't flinch from actually 'going there' in terms of government ideas that seemed brilliant in its first flush, only to be damned in the annals of history. Like, the prison camps for Japanese Americans in World War II, or showing how Superheroes going against each other is like the Blue and the Grey of the American Civil War, when brother was against brother.There's also some sort of over stretching the metaphor, when they compare Tony Stark's plan of attack and relentless battles against his fellow superheroes to that of Julius Caesar. There's the bit of Latin, to give the book a weighting, the notion that Stark has put in motion forces bigger than even he- extremis logic fed - can comprehend.I'd only recommend this work if you've read the main version of civil war, because it doesn't stand on its own that much.

civil war front line was ok but it was slow and it felt like they were draging the story out to much

Es beinhaltet die Frontline Hefte 1 - 6.Hier werden ein paar Geschichten begonnen, die sich in den einzelnen Issues aufteilen, sodass es immer schnell einen Storywechsel gibt.Embeddet - beinhaltet die Geschichte der beiden Journalisten Ben Urich vom Bugle und Sally Floyd,die von beiden Seiten der Registration berichten. Wärend Sally der Demaskierung von Tony Stark beiwohnt und mit Anti-Registration Helden Gespräche führt,bekommt Urich die Chance mit Spiderman, Mister Fantastic und Iron Man über die aktuellen Geschehnisse zu berichten. Zudem wird er er verfolgt,aber wen?The Accused - zeigt die Geschichte vom Helden "Speedball" Robert Baldwin,der maßgeblich an dem großen Unglück beteiligt war. Mit dem Unfall ist es ja bekanntlich zum Registrations Act gekommen. Wärend Jen Walters (She-Hulk) ihm als Anwalt noch helfen möchte,ist Baldwin davon überzeugt,nicht schuldig an dem Tod so vieler Menschen zu sein und so landet er dennoch im Gefängniss,wo ihn seine Mithäftlinge übel mitspielen.Sleeper Cell - erzählt die Geschichte über den registrierten Helden Wonderman,der zufällig eine Schläferzelle von Atlantis entdeckt.Außerdem gibt es immer wieder Geschichten/Gedichte, die historische Ereignisse - wie den Marsch von Cesars Truppen oder die Frankreich Front 1917 - mit den aktuellen Geschehen im Civil War vergleicht.Ich kann zum kauf enpfehlen,zeigt er doch mit Embedded und The Accuses 2 sehr interessante Handlungsstränge.

L'autre côté du miroir... C'est un excellent complément à la saga Civil War. L'enquête journalistique ajoute de la profondeur à une histoire culte.

Of all the Marvel books dealing with the Civil War storyline, this one was the most average. My meaning? Some books were awesome during this period, a few were downright terrible, but the majority made up a good read. "Front Line" was none of those. Being an anthology type of book, it's quality is based on each individual story; and each fluctuated drastically.In my opinion, only the Speedball in jail piece was worth reading. This arc of Robbie behind bars added new and interesting information not covered in the other Civil War titles. To me, the tales dealing with the reporters were just a rehash of situations already covered in previous books. At this point in the story, the repetitive nature was more annoying than enlightening.

I read the Civil War books a while ago and figured that the Frontline books would be worth a read. The story deals with a number of characters associated with Civil War...Speedball, the sole surviving member of the group which was in Stamford, the event which caused the death of 60 children and sparked demand for the Registration Act...the reporters covering the story, such as Ben Urich, who sense that not everything is right with the Act and serious questions need to be asked (such as are they using super villains)...and Wonder Man essentially being blackmailed into working for SHIELD. In essence, Civil War dealt with the fight, but Frontline deals more with the question of ethics, morality and the true repercussions for everyone after the Registration Act.The artwork is great and really shines in panel view. What really makes this book stand out is the way it makes the reader think about the effect of the Act, and I especially liked the incorporation of poems and letters written by people during past real wars (American Civil War, Vietnam, WWII, etc), which helped compare and contrast the events in the book to real historical events....it truly impressed me.I highly recommend this book, particularly for people who read the Civil War books.I read this on my 7"kindle fire HD with panel view and had no problem reading it.

The Speedball storyline: A maximum-security prison in the lower 48, "maybe Alabama or Texas," and 99% of the inmates are white? Does this seem a bit PC or revisionist or just spineless to you? This is what you have to expect in this cross-over. I've been away for a few years, but in other CW books, Falcon has an attitude and Luke Cage is bigger and badder than anyone. And the Yancy St. leader confronting Ben Grimm...same thing. But, I guess it just makes everyone feel better -- or prevents our own civil war. Something. Too bad; everything else I like.

This is one of the first comic books I have read. Its different than a normal book or other fluff. I really like that it takes something serious and really pits me between the two sides.

Love this series - there are so many characters in it and makes it very fun to read over and over again

I have read this comic book before and I loved it. I bought for my son to read and he loved it to. This book was shipped fast and came in just it was described. I will purchase from this seller in the near future.

This tells alot of great side stories, fleshing out the entire story more and including alot of favorite characters. Must Read!

Art was great and the story well written. It's been awhile since I've read or collected comic books. But it wasn't one of those couldn't put it down stories. Not sure why. Maybe because my favorite times in comic books was collecting them in the 80's and I loved those stories. Or maybe because I haven't seen how the characters had changed.

Great and addicting story

I enjoyed this series very much. I look forward to the next book .I really am tired writing this review.

It was spectacular and now I'm going to read the second book. It should be even better because it finishes the story.

Its a wonderful story. Read it. Enjoy. Iron man, cap, the reporters. Wonderful. The story of robbie and penance is complete.
