Don't get your knickers in a twist. I'm back. Everyone's talking about Civil War. And we've got tons of news on that. And a few other choice bits. Including more blatant artist swipes.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Definitely true. 
Maybe not so true. 
Mostly lies. 
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?... HOW ABOUT NOW?
Marvel is scrambling to try to make the pro-registration side seem more sympathetic in lieu of it being revealed in Civil War #4 that they cloned their friend as a weapon and in Amazing Spider-Man #353 that they are keeping heroes jailed without trial in the negative zone.
Check out this leaked revised scene from Civil War #5! With the art already drawn, they only had time to change what the characters said.
Here's the original dialogue:
Panel 1. Dressed in his Iron Spider-Man costume, Peter and Tony heatedly discuss the fallout of the titanic battle on the previous page. These should be iconic shots of these characters! This should be good enough to be a poster! Of the two of them standing tensely, about to fight!
CAPTION: Stark Tower
IRON MAN: Peter, this is ridiculous. You need to get with the program!
SPIDER-MAN: No way, Stark! This is madness and you're acting like a grade-A MEATBALL!
Panel 2. The most amazing close-up shot of Spider-Man's mask ever. Really intense. Go crazy with this one. It's your chance to shine.
SPIDER-MAN: Cap would never have let those people die! Or jail his friends in the negative zone!
Panel 3. Tight close up on Iron Man. The most tight close up ever.
IRON MAN: Oh, waaaah! Cap wouldn't do this, Cap wouldn't do that! Shut up about Cap already! Him and his Secret Avengers need to just shut up and let us incarcerate them for trying to help people! They're all so stupid! I'm smarter than all of them!
Panel 4. Spidey grabs Iron Man and tries to throw him down! The two heroes find themselves locked in combat! This shot should be so amazing that every 11 year old will want it for a t-shirt!
IRON MAN: Peter, this is how it has to be!
SPIDER-MAN: NEVER! I'm switching sides in this Civil War!
And the revised page:
Panel 1. Dressed in his Iron Spider-Man costume, Peter and Tony calmly discuss the events of the day. These should be iconic shots of these characters! This should be good enough to be a poster! Of the two of them standing there calmly talking!
CAPTION: Stark Tower
IRON MAN: Peter, I feel so bad about everything.
SPIDER-MAN: I know you do. You're trying your best. Don't let it get to you.
Panel 2. The most amazing close-up shot of Spider-Man's mask ever. Really happy and friendly. Go crazy with this one. It's your chance to shine.
SPIDER-MAN: Cap's being unreasonable and you're so awesome. I think it's great that you built that hotel and spa in the negative zone for everyone to enjoy. Do you want a back rub?
Panel 3. Tight close up on Iron Man. The most tight close up ever.
IRON MAN: No... thanks, though. I just wish it hadn't come to this. To this Civil War. I just I wish I hadn't lost my best friend over this.
Panel 4. Spidey hugs Iron Man! The two heroes find themselves sharing a special moment! This shot should be so amazing that every 11 year old will want it for a t-shirt!
IRON MAN: But maybe I gained a new best friend!
SPIDER-MAN: Hurray for HUGS!
