 A Must have view of the Marvel Civil War August 29, 2008
The frontline series not only adds an amazing amount of depth to the civil war story but also helps to explain the origins of one of the best new characters to come out of the civil war. Penance.
There's a lot of guts in these stories and this is a horrible one to pass up.
page turner February 5, 2008
The plot twists and overall pace of the book made this a great read. I highly recommend it.
 maybe better than vol one January 29, 2008

This just continues what we read in Vol 1 of Front Line. And the conclusion of Speeball's story... Wow.

THE SPEEDBALL EVOLUTION MAKES THIS BOOK SEEM IMPORTANT.SEEING HIM CHANGE FROM WHO HE WAS TO WHO HE BECOMES IS ONE OF THE CIVIL WARS BEST STORIES.THE REST OF THIS BOOK LET ME DOWN,SOME GOOD CAMEOS BUT ANGRY REPORTER LADY TAKES UP A FEW TOO MANY PAGES FOR ME.ALL THE SLOW PARTS ASIDE THIS SERIES(FRONT LINE 1&2) IS ESSENTIAL.FOR MY MONEY 350 ODD PAGES IS MORE THAN THIS REALLY NEEDED,BUT NO REAL REGRETS.

Frontline started off so well. I was with it, recommending it to fellow comic readers...then this half. Paul Jenkins is now an author I avoid.
Whatever one thinks of the entire event, this half of Front Line is awful. It's horribly written. Or maybe it's wonderfully written and just has a terrible, awful, brainless, spineless, indecisive, judgmental and irritating main character who is portrayed perfectly with these characteristics.
Sally Floyd is one of the most irritating characters I've ever had the misfortune to read. Taking a simple (and frankly, obvious) trick like the one the government agent uses on her and changing her entire mindset over it was the first time my jaw dropped. I could not believe anyone was that stupid or lacking in any sort of fervency in their beliefs.
I read on, and by the final issue, I had no faith in the character or in the writer behind her. While perhaps Sally is intended to portray a shallow mindset that Jenkins feels is representative of some part of the world (or perhaps of America?)--it comes off feeling as if the book agrees with her arguments against one side of the war, and for another. Perhaps the latter was sarcastic and both were intended as judgmental. It certainly didn't read as such.
Regardless, I regretted recommending this to anyone once it reached its conclusion and do not recommend it to anyone now. In fact, I was chastised for my recommendation once it reached its end. As such: avoid this book.
There are legitimate arguments for why the Pro-Registration side was right, but they are not to be found in the feeble mind of Sally Floyd--only useless, uninteresting, insulting fluff resides there. As in the ending of this series.
