This time Civil War didn't offer any big surprises:
Spider-Man escapes the Stark Tower, and is beaten by Jester and Jack O'Lantern. Things look a bit dark for a moment, but then our friend (formerly known as the ski-mask -guy), Punisher saves him, and brings him to Captain America for treatment.
Here's a few things I noticed: Tigra is obviously spying Cap's troops, but do they know she is spying on them? Daredevil (Iron Fist) is pretty much in the mix for a long time, before he's captured in the end of the issue. But is this a plan that they have? As for the "31 pieces of silver" phrase, it must have hit it's target pretty well. But do Stark's troops really think it's Daredevil, which would give Iron Fist a surprise in his sleeve, his "Iron Fist" of course.
They could have done better with the "Punisher is the man in the ski-mask" -thing, but it went rather smoothly, a rather solid issue, even though it didn't reveal anything big, as the previous issues have done.
As for the ending, when you look at all the other books on Civil War, like New Avengers #25, Iron Man is getting a lot of critique on his shoulders, will he crack sooner or later?
What are your thoughts on the issue?

The "31 pieces of silver" is refering to where Judas turned in Jesus, correct? Bascially saying that Tony has turned his back on all of his friends. I thought it was a pretty solid issue, but there was no big suprise. Still a great issue though.

Yeah, but Judas betrayed Jesus for one silver coin less. But that's probably just inflation.

Lol, yeah, probably. Leave it to Marvel to add inflation...

i think that they r keeping tigra around so that when she goes back to report she will either tell iron man the wrong information or they will follow her to iron man. and i wonder how cap and punsher can work together. this will be a very interesting partnership.
