This is one of the better books in the "Civil War"-series. It stays in the centre of things, and reveals several crucial points about the politics and motivations behind the Civil War waged between super heroes for and against the "registration act", which forces them to reveal their identities to the authorites.
The charm of this particular installment, is that it is mpstly seen from the perspective of regular humans, embodied in two journalists, and deals with more devious maschinations than mere spandex-guys punching each other.
Very well drawn, and with a well-planned and exciting story, told bit by bit. The only annoying part, are some small moral-pieces comparing the Marvel civil war to other American war stories.
Apart from the main "Civil War" book, I recommend "Frontline" 1 & 2 as the essential reads for anyone, who want the main stories. Also a good place to start.

civil war front line was ok but it was slow and it felt like they were draging the story out to much

There's a saying along the lines of history belonging to the victors. In this imagining, what with various reporters on the ground (Ben Ulrich, Sally Flynn, et al), that isn't necessarily the case. The reporters are on the front-line, literally capturing everything that's going on, and having some bad moments along the way. In addition, this comic attempts to ground Marvel's civil war alongside various civil wars in history, and doesn't flinch from actually 'going there' in terms of government ideas that seemed brilliant in its first flush, only to be damned in the annals of history. Like, the prison camps for Japanese Americans in World War II, or showing how Superheroes going against each other is like the Blue and the Grey of the American Civil War, when brother was against brother.
There's also some sort of over stretching the metaphor, when they compare Tony Stark's plan of attack and relentless battles against his fellow superheroes to that of Julius Caesar. There's the bit of Latin, to give the book a weighting, the notion that Stark has put in motion forces bigger than even he- extremis logic fed - can comprehend.
I'd only recommend this work if you've read the main version of civil war, because it doesn't stand on its own that much.
