That explains why that stupid drunk "reporter" barfly character is in Frontline.

Seriously, Frontline's last issue and Civil War's last issue were so incredibly awful, I stopped reading Marvel entirely. Boxed up and gave away every Marvel comic, movie, game, and collectible in the house. 20 years was a lot to fit in the car...

I get the point he was trying to make with Frontline #11, but it was badly written! The journalist arguments made no sense whatsoever (much like Speedball's sudden change of mind when he turned into Penance). Neither did her decision not to reveal the truth to the american public, what kind of journalist would refuse to run a story like that?!? It was WAY bigger than Watergate!

Civil War was bad, yes, but Frontline was even worse. Jenkins should only work on his own character-owned series.

I certainly don't want to make out with Michael Moore, either. Unless he was a hot chick. Which, of course, he obviously is not

Anyway, my point is that there are a lot of people out there who have no opinion, who can't be bothered to look at the world beyond their television screen. That's what I'm criticising. Obviously you have an opinion about the state of the nation. Which is good. I disagreee with your opinion, but at least you have a viewpoint and you've thought about the issues. I'm just pissed off at people who feel the most important news item of the day is the current status of the Anna Nicole Smith baby custody battle.

Just because I'm not out in a goofy protest against the war, doesn't mean I don't care. It means I don't support your view.

The point is that Jenkins is arguing that it doesn't matter how hard Cap fights for a cause, if the average joe on the street remains indifferent to it. It has often been observed that democracy requires participation and effort to work. And if you have a public were people are more concerned with reality TV than rampant govt corruption, well, nothing is going to change.

Sorry, but I think you’re making a bogus leap. That’s one of his more recent works and it really says nothing about the majority of his career.

For example, he wrote a very cool and interesting Inhumans story with Jae Lee, which is certainly “worth paying attention to in the first place”.

I've read a ton of Jenkins stories besides Inhumans, and they were all pretty terrible. So I'm not denying that Inhumans may be good, after all I haven't read it, but even if it is it seems to be the anomaly or fluke and not the norm. One good work in the face of dozens of horrid ones isn't enough to reverse the claim of Jenkins being a bad writer, in my opinion.

It’s the exact sort of leap you would make if it was the first book of his you read Dan.

Ooo-kay. Or not.

Absolutely. Jenkins' recent stuff may be crap (and, point of fact, it IS), but that doesn't take away from some very impressive work of his in the past.

SEAN

Generation M already taught me that nothing Paul Jenkins writes is worth paying attention to in the first place.

Amen. What a colossal piece of crap that was.

- Tony attempting assassination of ambassadors

- Tony using brainwashed super villains to do the assassinating

- The terrible conditions of the prison the superheroes were kept in (both actual physical appearance, and how the prisoners were being treated)

- Blackmailing superheroes into doing what the government wanted

- Iron Man manipulating events and the stock market to make money (not for personal profit, of course, but still!)

One of Millar's biggest facets of Civil War was that Tony Stark wasn't a bad guy - yet Civil War: Front Line is pretty clear in the fact that, yes, Tony Stark IS a bad guy.

Given what I have read about the ending of 'Civil War', I have no trouble believing this.
