After rushing to the aftermath of the Stamford Massacre to offer aid to its victims, Peter travels with Tony Stark to Washington, D.C., and the White House - where the enactment of the Super Hero Registration Act appears imminent. As the Marvel Universe braces for the implications of legislation that will forever change the societal status of super heroes, Peter is forced to make an important personal decision - maybe the most important decision of his life.

An interesting take on the Marvel universe...
Rating:
This was the first book I read in the Marvel "Civil War" line, and I found it intriguing and fun to read.
Before the Fall, A Hero's Choice
Rating: 
Before "One More Day" put a stain on the Spider-Man mythos, Spider-Man had to deal with the consequences of his decisions in Marvel's Civil War.
These issues collected from the Civil War event show Peter reaching out to Tony Stark as a father figure, hoping for stability in his life only to realize he's chosen the wrong role model.
Of course there is also the lead-up to Spider-Man's unmasking, which is very well done. There is a great moment where Peter, May and M.J. discuss the implications of revealing Spider-Man's identity to the world that is particularly emotional.
A great collection of fantastic stories.
Good...Not great though.
Rating:
I enjoyed seeing Peter once again fight internally. The choices are hard and when you come down to it. The way Peter reacted is the way most people would. But at the same time the fighting is cheap. Seems like just adding it in for 2 pages and then another 20 pages of dialog. Though i love a good spidy story this one wasn't amazing. While entertaining it didn't make me go "Whoa!" And the unviewling was amazing back then but reading it again feels weak.
So though the ending was great it was the best spidy novel.
outstanding story
Rating:
Spider-Man Civil War is a must have for any new or old Spider-Man fan. The story of Peter Parker's struggle with the law and what is right or wrong was incredible. I actually became a regular Spider-Man comic book collector from reading this book. If you liked this graphic novel I would also suggest Spider-Man: Back in Black.
great addition
Rating:
THis is a great addition to both Peter's story and the Marvel Civil War storyline. I'd like to go on about it, but there isn't much I can say that hasn't been said.
