Secret Invasion is just as bad as Civil War. First they were all fighting each other because of politics. Now they fight each other because they don't trust each other to be the actual person they say they are. Just a silly excuse to get more superheroes fighting against each other because of mistrust or hatred in the silly atmosphere that Marvel has created.

The best thing about Civil War and Secret Invasion are the off-world stories like Planet Hulk. They got Hulk off Earth because he'd be too much of a tide-turner on either Civil War side. The Illuminati decide to maroon him on another planet but the ship goes through a wormhole and he ends up in an alien empire ruled like the Roman Empire. He fights his way out of slavery and ends up a gladiator and basically kicking the entire Empire's butt and finds happiness and fullfillment like never could on earth before the shocking ending...which makes him the most angry Hulk has ever been and he returns to Earth to set all the whiny Civil War guys straight and to exact his revenge on the Illuminati, Iron Man, Reed Richards, etc.

That was great because you grew to hate Tony Stark in Civil War and so an enraged Hulk with an alien army comes back to earth to kick his ass for being such a ######bag.

On the other side of the Galaxy - the Annhilation Saga was pretty awesome itself. Thanos is talking with Death and she reveals something wonderful is going to happen - at the big crunch, a dimensional rift, the forces of annhilation are coming into our universe and while all the whiny brats on earth are beating each other up over politics, you learn that the fate of the entire universe is threatened and being fought over in an epic intergalactic war that has everything from Galactus to Silver Surfer to Quasar to the Nova Corps (getting completely wiped out to extinction!) to the Shiar Empire to every cosmic or space based Marvel character. That's what really matters. That series put Civil War into perspective because the guys fighting the Annihilation Saga are like a million times more powerful with more responsibility than any of the "heroes" in Civil War.
