COMMENT: Infinite Endings, Civil Beginnings

It’s been a little while since I couldn’t wait until I got home to read a specific comic book, just HAVING to read it on the train ride back to work from Midtown Comics. Today, I read two: Infinite Crisis #7 and Civil War #1. I actually started reading the former while waiting on the
