Man.... I hate to just hop on the doomsayer band-wagon but this really has me a bit bummed out.
I didn't actually hate the idea of Civil War, I think where that story fell flat was in the execution. I felt like it was something that just happened out of nowhere and suddenly a line in the sand was drawn, and alot of characters were just hanging around and there was no clear motivation why they would be on one side or the other.
I felt like there was no real pathos or emotional investment in the story. I feel like it was an idea that they needed to do a much better job building up tension for quite some time instead of something that just happened and suddenly everyone is shoe-horned into two sides. That said, I feel like the Ship has sailed on Civil War and this can't possibly end up anything other than a disjointed mess.
I hadn't believed that Marvel was going to do a full on Reboot, but I don't I think revisiting both this and Secret Wars (and right on the heals of eachother) definitely lends weight to that belief.
Hell, This will even give them a nice neat way to bring back Wolverine quickly now that they are killing off one of their most popular character by just having him back because the universe rebooted.
