* here are the "sides" in the forthcoming Civil War sequel that Marvel is doing. As with the writer of the piece, I find some of the choices odd given the issue as explained. Unlike the writer, I don't remember enough of the first Civil War series to make a comparison between this war and that one. One thing that's interesting to me is that this is a really grand old conception of what superheroes do: interact with criminals. It doesn't seem like I see much if any of that kind of thing in the monthly comics I occasionally read.
