[QUOTE=CandidGamera] Can’t. The main event in that FF story is the Anti-Regs freeing the people captured by the Pro-Regs in the battle that spanned Civil War #3 and #4. [/QUOTE] Sounds like a continuity mix-up to me, then. ---

[QUOTE=CandidGamera] The Flash - The “secret” of the Speed Force. [/QUOTE] Isn’t much of a secret. I called it at the Barry monologue in issue 1. (Of course, I’ve seen a lot of people saying that they had no idea what was going on with that, so maybe I’m just smart. \<\_\< ) ---

[QUOTE=JThunder] Sounds like a continuity mix-up to me, then. [/QUOTE] Not really. That issue of FF would fit in between a couple of the pages. As I recall, Johnny woke up during the battle where the prisoners were being freed and Ben was announcing his travel plans. What makes it seem complicated is that the issue came out at least a month ago, well before Civil War 4 shipped. Wolverine #46: This one seems to have gotten lost in the hullaballoo surrounding CW 4, which is probably a good thing considering what we find out.The dark and shadowy organization behind Nitro, Stamford, and this whole stupid Civil War is revealed to be Damage Control. Turns out they’d been feeding Nitro MGH, not to mention increasing hero/villain conflicts in general, to increase profits from the rebuilding contracts.The subtlety of Civil War continues to underwhelm me. ---
