Reading Civil War was an experience for me as a 15-18 year old. When all was said and done, I felt like I grew up a little. It had never occured to me before that a gigantic company like Marvel would deliberately embark on an endeavour that was totally artistically and morally bankrupt as a pure moneymaking ploy. (And by "morally" I mean the shameless way that the company exploited marketing, like telling people STEVE WILL REALLY STAY DEAD THIS TIME and then not having the gumption to stick to their editorial choices.)
So basically CW was a big fat object lesson in how Marvel is made of lying liars who lie, and that they really don't care about comics. Individual writers and artists are passionate about the work but the whole thing is an exercise in cynicism.
