The problem with Civil War: War Crimes is that it has very little to do with the ongoing War Crimes saga that rocked the Marvel universe.

Five of the six books collected here are from a miniseries called Underworld, which told the tale of career criminal Jackie Dio, whose lifelong disdain for superheroes and supervillains alike puts him in an awkward place when he gets out of prison to find a world very different than the one he knew when he was first incarcerated.

And, pretty much against his will, he finds himself stumbling into several of the very powers he so abhors. Of course, he finds out he's better with enhanced abilities and gadgets then most of those mooks who've been using them for years.

Sure, the book also includes a pivotal chapter in which Tony "Iron Man" Stark makes a deal with the devil -- or, rather, Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, who is languishing in prison but still has his fingers in a great many pies. Can Fisk deliver Captain America's head on a platter and end the Civil War that has rocked the Marvel world? Well, no, as anyone who knows anything about the series already knows, but he does come up with a very interesting substitute.

Underworld, as Dio has decided to call himself, makes a brief appearance here, which I suppose is Marvel's justification for packaging the stories together. But so far as Civil War action goes, this collection doesn't have very much of it.
