It wasn't even the comic book of the bloody week it was published.
(That was probably Y The Last Man. But Love & Rockets was out in the same week as well so that puts this into an easy 3rd.)
But despite being no more than a flaccid little story designed to inject a little temporary chaos into the Marvel Universe, Mark Millar's Civil War #1 has just been voted the comic of the year 2007 by the Harvey Awards. Despite usually avoiding the big crossovers, I actually looked at this one. It had all those classic symptoms of being written to order. I imagine someone tossed Mark Millar a brief to do a big crossover and he let loose with what is, effectively, a Cap vs Iron Man slap fest with a little added teenage politicing.
No I didn't like it, why do you ask?
Now what's that spinning noise coming out of Harvey Kurtzman's grave?
* Actually this review could have simply consisted of the picture, a tag line of 2007 best single issue and "fuck off" written over and over.

The Comic of 2007? No i don't think so. While it started very well, it soon turned in to a piece of shit. Green Arrow Year One by Andy Diggle & Jock thats my comic of the year.
