Civil War: Amazing Spider-Man – Decisions collects Amazing Spider-Man #529-532, Spider-Man’s Road To Civil War all in one comic with an all-new sketch cover by Gabriele Dell’Otto. For fans who want to know why in the world would Peter Parker unmask…this is the issue for you.

That Spidey pencil cover looks pretty cool.

AWOL = Absense Without Leave it's a military term for when you desert your post / run away / etc. it's going away without permission to do so!

Velocity_02 · 08-22-2006, 06:24 PM

that image of iron spider getting assembled.....I will cream myself when it gets coloured. SO much detail....Who's the brilliant mind behind it?

calliopes · 08-22-2006, 06:25 PM

That Spidey cover was originally supposed to be the RRP cover to Amazing # 533.

Rockstars721 · 08-22-2006, 06:25 PM

awol means absent without leave

which issue is that spidey pencil for? the decisions?

Uncle Jawa · 08-22-2006, 06:32 PM

I really like the Cap cover. I rarely get into buying second prints and such (unless I actually need them to read the story), but I may just scoop that one up.

baxtos · 08-22-2006, 06:36 PM

That Spider Man cover is INSANELY BEAUTIFUL. I hadn't been struck by a drawing like that for so long. It makes you love the new costume ! Make a poster out of it, Marvel, like NOW !

agreed. i would love a poster of the new costume.

Ironhorse · 08-22-2006, 06:45 PM

Those Fronline covers are freaking awesome, also that IronSpidey, it really looks cool.

Peace.

Well, unlike X-Men Legends, the costume you pick will alter your abilities and stats. One example is that Ultimate Sue Storm's costume gives her more damage resistance than her 616 costume.

Based on that, the Iron Spider is a VERY likely candidate.

johnchrist · 08-22-2006, 06:52 PM

That Spidey cover is pretty sick!
I'd rather it remain b&w though, I'm still not a fan of red n' gold color scheme.

that it does... i would love a poster of that, too, but before they ink and color it. I love the pencils.

Adm_Snackbar · 08-22-2006, 07:18 PM

I can't find Amazing #530, so I may end up buying this.

spiderseppy · 08-22-2006, 07:25 PM

Yes, LOVE the Spidey pencil cover!

Looks great. I'm still not buying anymore Civil War stuff though.

Northstar04 · 08-22-2006, 08:35 PM
