Ah, something about the ending bothers me... & I was suspicious at first - a slow start... but, of course, this picked up momentum quickly, & I couldn't put it down. I got right into Civil War when it first came out - I read the first half of just about every comic involved in the crossover... but somehow lost track & never really knew how it ended. After finishing this novel, I see quite a few important things were changed (Spiderman & MJ, certain characters' involvement, etc.), but when taken as it is, quite possibly for the better. I'm somehow having difficulty finding out the immediate aftermath of all these events, though... gonna have to see if any of the published novels cover that ground, or if I have to go track down old Spiderman/Iron Man comics to find out. 
 Anyway, a great superhero romp with a lot of familiar faces.
