I think it would be much easyier if you just get the graphic novels when they come out,i think it would be hard to track down every one of the comics now.

Do you need just the Civil War story, or are you looking for all the tie ins as well?

Roughly 21 bucks, and any store worth a damn ordered them in surplus, so those should be easy to come by with little to no hassle. Civil War: Frontline was an eleven part series that sort of fleshed out the core story. Again, ordered in large quantities, so you shouldn't have any problem finding them. The tie-ins are strictly based on your own taste. I bought the tie-ins from series I was already reading (Captain America, Amazing Spiderman, etc.), and picked up a few while they were under the Civil War banner because they caught my eye. Do not get fooled into buying the X-Men tie in. It's just not worth your money, but if you feel the curiosity hit you, most of my shops have already tossed the entire run in their $1 box, and the run was only four issues. If your into comedy/the GLA, grab up the Cable and Deadpool arc. It was great fun. Amazing Spiderman really fleshed out Spidey's side of Civil War. She-Hulk 8 was reprinted, I don't know how hard it is to come by, but I know the first printing goes at most shows for roughly $25.

There is something like 106 tie in issues and at the moment, a few of them are alot higher then cover price. You can always get the TPBs that are coming out over the next few months.

I'd say Civil War, Frontline and Amazing Spider-Man is required reading if you want the major story. After that I'd say Fantastic Four, New Avengers, Punisher War Journal and Captain America. Pretty much everything else is just tangentially related and is more "stories set during Civil War" than "stories about Civil War."

There are three trades, and that oughta get you up to speed enough to snatch up the current issues. Brubaker's entire run on Captain America. There are I believe three trades, but issue 25 might be a bit tough to come by.

Cap is up to five trades, I think.
I'd highly recommend Runaways, Ultimates, and Invincible, which are all available in trade form. DC might be a little continuity-heavy for a new reader to enjoy as much, but Paul Dini's Detective Comics run would be a great place to start.

The HoM issue is in one of those "World Of HoM" trades (the Wolverine one, I think), but it's worth owning anyway and goes at most shows in the $1 bin.

That HoM issue of Cap was the best issue of that entire storyline.
