Done! With the first part, anyway. :/

Civil War #1
Most of the people on my flist aren't comic fans, but I am, so I'm going to talk about them anyway. :p
I picked up a few things, but the only book I was impressed with the Civil War #1. The basic premise: a group of novice superheroes, the New Warriors, are filming an episode of their reality show and decide to take on a threat way out of their leagues. This ends in and explosion outside of a school, which leads to the deaths of around 900 kids and most of the New Warriors.
Meanwhile, one of my favorite characters, the Human Torch, is blindsided outside of a club by a bunch of guys who are looking for a hero to punish for the aforementioned tragedy. He gets knocked out and serverely beaten. (!!!!!)
The explosion and the ensuing anti-hero violence sets the stage for the government to push for a bill that would call for the registration of all superheroes. Basically, they would become government cops. Some of the heroes are opposed to this, while others agree that it's a valid solution.
One of the heroes that opposes government intrusion is Captain America. He throws down with a bunch of SHIELD agents (government bad asses), and goes underground.
At the end of the first issue, Cap is now a symbolic leader for the anti-registration side, and his fellow hero, Iron Man, has pledge to bring him in.

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is cool.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate(more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 . If you haven't, add 1755.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You've reached the end.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number
(how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are...
