Ok, so I FINALLY got CW#2 and read it. I'll start off with the re-cap in the first page since it's the OFFICIAL version and to clarify a few things that people just don't seem to WANT to understand:
"On Capitol Hill, a SHRA is debated which would require ALL THOSE POSESSING PARANORMAL ABILITIES to register with the government, divulging their true identities to the authorities and submitting to training and sanctioning in the mannerer of FEDERAL AGENTS." OF course, Tony sells it differently and people believe it.
It was extremely gratifying to see that the heroes are still trying to do their thing even though they have and additional "enemy" when they're trying to take the real bad guys down and that they're being effective. Of course, there's that incident with the SHIELD agent that gets thrown out of the truck and the cop cars fly all over the place. Pre-CW we would be saying "They're fine", but now I'm sure that there are chances that one of the cops might've died or suffered serious injuries. I laughed at Cap's eyeglasses thing since it's probably a dig at Supes.
There are a couple of things that are clearly done to manipulate the story like using the NW as a setup. The way Reed, Tony and Hank are acting in regards to "42" is disturbing, and to me seems pretty out of character. Of course, making the SHRA side gleeful at apprehending their old comrades is probably meant to cause a reaction in us. They express some kind of doubt in what they're doing but those moments are quickly dispelled by their actions which are supposed to have more weight than their words. It makes sense for Cap to organize a moment to protect themselves while still being able to do "the right thing", it doesn't look to me like "Cap's-Secret-Base-For-Taking-Down-The-Government" as other people have suggested. It still irks me, though, that SHIELD seems to be able ot keep tabs on these guys but Nitro still runs around. Old gripe, I know, sorry.
Finally, Spidey's unmasking wasn't as shocking as I though it would be. It was more like a "WTF?!" moment for me. Why? Because of this lil' sentence: "I'm not wearing my old mask because I'm ashamed of what I do." Again, WTF?! Anyway, I think you guys have heard it all in regards to the Spidey thing so I won't comment further on it.
