snap judgments no, really, there are some comics you really should read

Comic Justice

I was waiting for this:

Stephen Colbert had a piece tonight on Captain America.

They even had a callback to Quesada's appearance to say that sometimes Cap has gone against the American government to do what 'he' feels is right, an interesting distinction I hear now after the series. Because it's the fact that Cap only saw 'his side' that the war raged on to begin with... or at least that's what we're supposed to think. Captain America sees the destruction he caused, recognizes the other side of the war and gives himself up and that's the end of Civil War, right?

This clip came along with another by Fox News saying that (and I quote), "The thing about comics, the reason they sell, is that they're somewhat realistic." Well, realistic is one thing but I would admit that Marvel Comics seems to be priding themselves on their ability to 'mirror' the world outside our window. I mean, that's part of the appeal, the idea that we know these people because we can relate to them and trace their steps through New York.
This brought us all to this night's Colbert Report's W0rd: "Comic Justice". Now, he got to talking about it, bringing to light that "fighting to protect civil liberties lke free speech and privacy is not only quaint, but dangerous", and I know the man is satire on a stick but I can't stop rolling the words "comic" and "justice" over in my head. Justice being we'll say being fair between conflicting claims.

So, you guys are well informed. whip smart and opinionated. Has Civil War been just?  Has it been typical of what we the reader would normally seen in the funny books?  Or is Fox News right and the reason why Civil War is selling so well is due to the fact that life isn't fair and neither are comics?
