Marvel's Civil War

So I've been keeping up with Marvel's crossover event Civil War and it hasn't been cheap. The only ones I'm really invested in are the main title, Civil War, New Avengers, Wolverine, X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man and Frontline. It seems that Wolverine has been mostly style over substance. The art is flashy but it doesn't have the story that earlier storylines had like Enemy of the State or Agent of Shield. I've never been a big Spider-Man fan and can count the number of issues on one hand but the Civil War tie-ins are really good with how he deals with the major revelation at the end of Civil War no. 2. It's great to see 4 of the original 5 X-Men team up on a mission in Civil War: X-Men. That's been a lot of fun to read. New Avengers is focusing on individual members of the team and how they've dealt with the situation. My favorite character throughout this event has to be Captain America. He believes that what he's doing is right despite the public outcry and decisions by the government. Next to the main title, Frontline has been my favorite. It has a few different tales in each comic from a variety of points-of-view. It's an inside and behind-the-scenes look at what's going on in the Marvel Universe.
