STORYTIMING SECRET WARS, something might happen. Probably not. Let's just see Hickman felating Doom again
>reading this soulless shitty pointless cashgrab event book
>not reading literally the best comfiest comic ever >>77384099
im so confused. also bump
I'd probably come before
>>77385033
;)
>>77385016
wasn't Holocaust from AoA domain dead? Did Doom resurrect him? Or did Apocalypse just grab a fresh Holocaust from another domain?
This event has been so dull and mirthless.
>>77384995
>As, like myself, I
Does that make sense to everyone else? Or am I just tired?
>>77385058
Doom Rules. Superheroes are stupid. People were dumb enough to pay for this.
>>77385052
All comics from the big 2 are shitty cash grabs anon.
>>77385068
Maestro was also stuck for all eternity in an illusion so who the fuck knows
Honestly. Your time and money would be better spent on buying the Multiversity trade.
>>77385033
Now how the fuck did she do this shit. The Thors were fucking fanatics.
>>77385009
Sinister beating Maddie is FUCK YOU to complainers of covered Maddie on cover of Inferno?
>>77385058
yeah man, can't believe they delayed for so long and came out with this
what a shitfest of an event. Like, all events are shitfests, but at least this once had a decent idea. And now its come to this.
>>77385106
no idea in thors it just switches to her starting a rebellion in the middle of a fight
>>77385029
Wow. What a convincing off-panel speech.
>>77385058
If you're confused then you're retarded.
>>77385106
Poor writing
>>77385106
Hickman doesn't care.
I can't believe there were people stupid enough to be excited for this mediocre issue.
>>77384971
>Maximus
Who?
>tie-ins are the only good thing about the event
>but none of them matter
> and most characters showing up in the main event book are from the shitty ones
Oh well, at least Ghost Racers were good while they've lasted...
>>77385157
Some Inhumans villain that people briefly paid attention to when he and Maker went all buddy bros in one of the first SW issues
>>77385157
Black Bolt's brother, Maximus the Mad. Genius and inventor.
>>77385157
Blackbolt's brother.
I sure hope that God Doom will defeat all those villains that use betrayal, mindcontrol and living dead as a weapon.
Can't Mossad the Assa...I mean Can't Doom Dr. Doom.
>>77385097
Not American Alien. It's made with heart, soul, and comfyness
>>77385124
Booooooo
>Reminder that Doctor Doom can always snap his fingers and change everything back to normalSO WHY THE FUCK DOESN'T HE DO IT ALREADY?!
So WHY did this need to be delayed? It looks like every possible corner was cut.
This was so goddamn lame.
>>77385081
Is the Maker's face in the bottom left panel reused from Ultimates?
>>77385193
Because Hickman decided one of the issues needed to be a recap, delaying everything even more
>>77385106
By the power of lazy writing and off screen speeches
>>77385124
That's it? This issue was fucking nothing.
Shame, Hickman, shame
>>77385208
Probably reused the panel from the previous issue, which was recycled from ultimates
>>77384964
This is incredible, I've never seen someone write so little with so much.
Hickman has certainly tried before but this? This is nothing short of the anti-life equation itself. Purchasing this or so much as reading it is a negative gain. You leave with less than what you had before you made the attempt. He has finally deprived the very act of creation itself of meaning, Darkseid will be pleased.
>>77385154
True. the start of the saga was great, but now it's just become dumb and boring.
>>77385157
Did you miss all of new avengers anon?
>>77385247
Hickman is doctor Bedlam. Instead of new bodies, it's new comic books with very few words in them, though.
This is now an official anti-life thread. Darkseid is!
>>77385255
I don't bother with the Avengers comics since I heard they were consistently terrible.
>>77385278
Then why are you even reading this?
>>77385016
What actually happened in the end of the AoA tie-in? [spoilers]
>>77385022
>>77385029
>>77385033
>>77385036
That action is concurrent withthe climax of Thors #4. The fight with Runey, Destroyer, Thorlief, and Unworthy Thor spilled over to Whor's place.
>>77385063
>>77385074
Oh wait, is Maestro actually returned to Dystopia alone, or it's just a Doom illusion?
>>77385102
There's another hole opened at the Shield!
>>77385108
>>77385124
The zombie Captain Britain is the former Baron of Higher Avalon in #2.
>this issue ending with a Hulk army and a zombie horde led by Namor and BP about to engage separately
>>77385187
>Doom shell-shocked with that show of force
>>77385252
This.
Next issue (originally part 2 of #7) is scheduled for December 9.
>>77385299
The art was pretty good and it seemed entertaining enough at first.
I enjoy it but too much happens off panel. The Prophet having everyone follow him outta nowhere.. Why is Sinister Carol's puppy?! How did Whor convince the Thors? What was Fred's reaction to being kucked etc?
>>77385299
because it's a Fantastic Four story?
>>77385002
SINISTER!
>>77385187
Doom can only influence things he's created?
>>77385337
Reed's been a useless fuckwit since New Avengers started.
Even more so than he was in Hickman's F4 run.
I just want this event to end
>>77385178
>>77385052

It makes sense within the full context of the sentence. Put the "like myself" bit at the end.
>>77385074
Now Drax Hulk would be an interesting character.
>>77385608
Pre-Annihilation Drax is basically Drax Hulk
You know it's like everyone forgets that it is 100% literally true that everyone would be fucked without DOOM having saved them.
Even the people who are currently outside reality are only safe because the Ayy Lmaos are dead.
My interest goes up and down up and down.
>>77385241
>this issue was fucking nothing
This issue was the first half of the ORIGINAL issue 7.
You see we're not getting 9 issues because the story needed more space, but because Ribic just couldn't make it. 7 and 8 were supposed to be both double sized, instead issue 7 became 7-8 and issue 8 became 9.
>>77385585
No belly button clones only works with hammocks
>>77385002
>>77385009
Why is Sinister/Carol Best Ship?
>>77384983
>The Maker
Isn't that the Ultimate Mr. Fantastic with a fancy mask on?
>>77385086
>>77385093
>>77385102
>>77385108
>>77385124
This book would be fun if we were just following BP and Namor
>>77385108
um. what.
>>77385721
Is this the first issue of Secret Wars you've read?
You're pretty late to the game
>>77385751
Nonono, I'm just wondering if just a fancy helmet is capable enough for a name change?
>>77385764
Yes. Because this Reed is a villain and has completely disassociated himself from his previous identity.
"Mr. Fantastic" is a silly name he came up with for the press. "The Maker" conveys his current objectives
>>77385778
He should be called The Destroyer from what he's doing. He haven't created anything.
>>77384971
>>77385304
>What actually happened in the end of the AoA tie-in?Apocalypse is dead and No More Mutants happened.
>>77384964
the momentum this event has generated is now cooled down due to the fact that the main issues are already #1s right after this event.
there's no tension, no "OMG WHO WILL SURVIVE" because, "oh spidey has a new one, so does iron man I guess, and hey deadpool too didn't he die or something" the elimination of stakes makes me hate this event. fuck it. its a glorious trainwreck i'm gawking at.
>>77385835
Then Doom must have recreated Apocalypse.
>>77385889
And Pryor isn't demon anymore.
And Maestro isn't stuck in imaginary land.
>>77384971
Maximus, we all knew it was you, it was blatantly obvious. Who are you talking to?
>>77384983
Wait a minute, Terrax hasn't shown up yet.
What's that fucker doing?
>>77385738
Black Panther has been the Panther God's King of the Dead since Hickman's Fantastic Four run .Till now we've seen him sit around in his necropolis and occasionally talk to the ghosts of his ancestors.
This is supposed to be the big reveal, that he's literally given dominion over the dead, that the zombies will follow him.
>>77384964
I feel like I missed an issue
>>77386004
that's how a lot of SW has been
whoop, issues over with very little being accomplished
next issue starts and everything happened off screen
>>77385016
>>77385036
Ribic drawing Holocaust...
So much win!
>>77386183
I don't see any jews being killed on that page?
>>77385987
Hickman is making Everything illuminated canon. Terrax is hiding in a cave hoping to not be dragged into the battle.
>>77385051
>>77385074
BASED
>>77386197
And writing the events down as some avante garde poetry
It was a decent battle issue but i can see why this was meant to be the first half of secret wars 7, not the whole thing itself.
Baron Sinister is great and so is Black Panther and Namor so i dont get the hate for it.
>>77385006
>Last issue had armored underboob
>This time they're back
praise
>>77385137
This book is so metal
>>77385002
>Gorr's hounds in the middle of the battle
Ribic, COME ON.
>>77385187
Doom was lying about that. 89% of his power goes into keeping Battleworld from falling apart, leaving him barely enough to defend himself with.
He can't reality warp without letting Battleworld self destruct, and after that there IS no reality left to warp.
>>77385187
Doom's never stopped being a pretentious gypsy poser. Molecule Man does all the actual work and Doom is too much of a petty dick to even feed him properly.
>>77385790
He made a pocket world in the negative zone and filled it with super mutants that competed against each other for thousands of years until they vastly, unanimously surpassed humanity in power and intellect. The Maker considers himself a borderline retard compared to his creations.
>>77386919
he reality warped the inhumans just fine.
maybe he has a limit to how much he can reality warp?
or most likely he doesnt give a shit and wants to watch the mayhem and will only reality warp if his army ends up getting BTFO.
>>77386999
I think at this point he's already given up, and it's just his pride demanding that he be defeated properly rather than throw in the towel
I just don't get it. How do you make rebellion and doom being God so utterly boring?
Ribic continues to distinguish himself as a poor man's Frazer Irving.
>>77385052
>comfiest
You' are scum.
>>77387067
It's partially because of how muted everything is being drawn. It's grey all over.
It's not even Ribic's fault since he can bring on the glam.
Plus there's absolutely zero emotional weight because all the characters are either unlikeable or just plain hollow.
So you've got this dull, busy, and plodding action scene that is completely without charm. Plus nothing could live up to the 70+ issues of "build-up".
>>77387161
>Plus there's absolutely zero emotional weight because all the characters are either unlikeable or just plain hollow.
And we know that everyone survives. Well, except Reed, Sue and kids.
>>77385106
Read Thors #4. It makes sense after that.
I feel like I skipped an issue...
all the build up and shit and we end with another hickman fiasco...i was a fool to expect better than what he did in infinity
>>77387161
Hickman, writing hollow characters who warp to fit his story needs?
>>77385106
pussy control
>>77385002
Maximus is dead already?
>>77387421
He's one of Hickman's favourites. Of course he isn't dead. It's why Doom and Evil Reed are going to survive this event as well.
Holy shit this just keeps getting worse. They're even completely ignoring the continuity in the tie-ins, isn't Apocalips supposed to be dead as fuck and Mastro stuck in his own mind in the bottom of a cave?
Didn't the last one end with Thanos wanting to destroy the wall? Or have I missed some?
>>77387493
Oh yeah, that happened and he released all the shit on the other side. Except now Panther and Namor blow up the wall again to release the kraken again because lol why not.
>>77385971
I imagine the constant references to "I have done this before" by Doom imply that some of the tie-ins take place in previous incarnations of Battleworld. At least that's the only explanation that makes sense to me,
>>77386117
You would think that with the number of tie-ins, at least some would fill in the blanks.
>>77385074
>>77385063
gave me a chubby
>>77387741
pics or it didn't happen
>>77385052
Fuck off Max.
>>77387161
>Plus nothing could live up to the 70+ issues of "build-up".
Does anyone even care anymore? I just want this to be over.
>>77385210
That issue was always going to be a recap. The issue was that this and the last issue were double-sized and Ribic just couldn't keep up, so this issue was split in two.
>>77387096
>Ribic continues to distinguish himself as a poor man's Frazer Irving.
Except Ribic is a actual painter, Frazer is digital.
What the god damn fuck are you talking about, they look... NOTHING alike...
>>77385108
>>77385124
> tfw Black Panther is Aragorn
> QUESTIONS GUYS!
> What marvel character / title do you want Ribic on when this series is done?
> What character / title do you want Ribic on if he moved to Dc?
>>77388046
I want him on Ultimates.
>>77385585
TBF Sinister would have to include one otherwise Scott would have got suspicious.
>>77388103
Replacing Rocafort or Alternating with him?
>>77385002
Gorr's hounds
shieeeet
>>77388046
Black Panther and Namor: Fuck your Throne
>>77388127
Alternating. Like in Thor. Ribic can do the big epic arcs.
So was it Ribic's fault this was delayed? Or Hickman? Or editorial? I can't possibly imagine the art was what delayed it, there is nothing special about it and it looks worse than the first few issues did. What the fuck?
>>77388407
Ribic is slow as shit.
>>77388449
And I still can't understand why Marvel thought it was possible he could keep up a schedule of 8 issues, two a month, half of them oversized. They should've have gone the Infinity route, with a team of artists with a similiar style to one another.
>>77384971
What a surprise.
>>77388484
He did 11 issues with no delays on Thor GOT.
>>77388484
I think they started really early on Secret Wars too.
>>77387067
I think dullness of all of it is well-fitting to the atmosphere of that artificial plane, called Battleworld.
>>77385033
FUCK YEAH THORBOAR!
>>77385036
Decapitate Sinister be like "DAMN HE FUCKED THAT MUGGA UP!"
That was so dull my head started hurting
>>77385051

>>77389005
>Sinister

Pick one.
Would this event be salvaged if it turns out this was all in Dooms head during the brief moment when he took over the OG Beyonder's power?
>>77389162
It's not. Everyone feels like they dreamed it, forgot who said that and in what comic.
>>77385106

ITT: morons
also ITT: people who haven't been following the comic attempt to understand a complex event and blame Marvel when they're confused

>This entire issue
In fact this could be said for this whole main issue story as a whole.
>>77389282
Yeah, the board that's been creating it's own theories about Hypercrisis and was hyped in the months before Secret Wars came out is easily confused by a pretty basic event with lackluster pacing.
>>77389646
>SURELY RIGHTCLOPS WILL HAVE RESURRECTED BY NOW
>nope

>>77389712
Well, we know that he's OK since he turned into Hitler off-panel.

>>77385807
YOU ALL BOUGHT IT! EVEN MY BROTHER BOUGHT IT!
>>77391030
Guardians of the Galaxy is fucking awesome. I cant even fathom the amount of shit it's getting on /co/
Its just like the movie, which got good reviews, and its one of the highest selling comics in the world right now and for good reason
>b-but its not MUH GUARDIANS!
lol fuck off. Nobody cared or knew who they were before the movie. Consider actually having fun once in your life, thats what the run is, fun. Since when is NOT MUH a valid criticism? They're basically taking the gotg name and making it something better, there's nothing wrong with that.
Its basically the exact same for Legendary Star-Lord. Reinventing a Z-list character into a badass renegade which is also selling well and everyone is enjoying it aside from you /co/ntrarians. Why is that exactly?
>>77391151
D-Man is a character no one cares about, not characters who were given a chance in the public limelight with a multimillion dollar film.
>>77391151
>>77391257
10/10 best copypasta. People always get fooled, I swear.
>>77385247
Darkseid is dead. check the DC line.
The event will probably be fine once it's collected in a trade, but the delays make what little happens in each issue aggravating.
>>77385051
>servent
The most unforgivable sin of all. Marvel's editors need to get their shit together.
Man, this issue is so fucking bad.
>>77391089
Disliking Bendis or anything that he has written is now considered a meme on /co.
I blame the jews.
>>77392876
that's not fair, only one jew deserves the blame. Bendis himself.
>>77392876
Sales don't lie, and /co/mblr itself is filled with people that buy his work.

>>77385124
What the fuck? So much shit happened off screen and then the one thing they do show, gaining a zombie army, just sort of happens. Not to mention some of the Barons being there doesn't make sense compared to the books they were in. And WTF is up with Captain Marvel?!
>>77385108
>suddenly in the middle of this epic buildup, the zombies start making wacky banter for no reason at all!
BRAVO HICKMAN!
can someone storytime the 7 main series issues so we can see how the story is pacing as a single narrative? I'm curious to see if things still seem like nothing has happened post issue 4 if we read all the issues together at once.
>>77393793
>the zombies start making wacky banter for no reason at all
Marvel Zombies have always made wacky banter. You never read a Marvel Zombies comic?
>>77393496
He had a Humphries mini... And that's it.
>>77394008
He also showed up at the end of Guardians of Knowhere to recruit them for the assualt on Doom.
>>77392579
kek
>>77394036
I'll do it after the next issue comes out, considering the next issue is just the second half of this one.
>>77384964
How can anyone still be reading this. I just want Reed/evil to beat the shit out of Doom before a gigantic white shit reboots the universe. I don't have any hope for Reed/good to do anything, even scold Doom.

>>77393427
Literally no point at all. At first I though it was to advance Bendis big plan of marriage. But since he is pretty much ignoring everything that happened in SW for GotG, there was absolutely no point in his inclusion at all.
>>77385006
>>77385009

>I imagine the constant references to "I have done this before" by Doom imply that some of the tie-ins take place in previous incarnations of Battleworld. At least that's the only explanation that makes sense to me,
Yeah. That does make sense but I just ignored(read and enjoyed but still ignored as fars as continuity goes)the other titles because Hickman said that only Seige and Thors were cannon
>>77384995
I wonder if Swan, Val and Sue have looked at each others hair and realized God seems to have a fetish.....
>>77396068
It was for Humphries' sake. Dude wanted to do a "616 Star-Lord meets alt-universe Kitty" story. Also, him and Carol were probably editorially mandated.

No, but all this stuff gets decided at their creator summits. He could have just said that and Hickman probably figured it wouldn't be too difficult to make it work.
