Is Ben gonna ascend?
>>78047380
And this is the second time Galactus got punched in the face by a giant jew.
>>78047363
I'd like it if this entire issue was just Doom Sue and Val sitting in the castle describing all the exciting shit happening in the battle. It'd be a good metaphor for this whole run.
Secret War? More like Secret BORE!

How could you possibly confuse a black and white Dave Sim image for a full color Ribic one?
Also it's far from the image limit too.
>>78047406

>>78047413
>>78047413
Well, I'm triggered.
>>78047420
Oh no it is the barely a threat lady

Hickman likes Ben the least out of the 4. It's why he's barely allowed to do anything in his F4 stuff.

Fuck you Thanos.
>>78047462
This was better though.
>>78047466
I still don't get this entire event. Doom literally already was a god and didn't like it because this exact thing happened, no matter how hard you try, there's gonna be uprising.
>>78047466
>that fucking Carol face
How many weeks was this shit pushed back again?
>>78047343
shouldn't it be their starboard engine that they lost?
>>78047471
Never fear for the king of what goes bump in the night is here
>>78047466
Carol is a dude
I refuse to believe anything else

Hmmm.. I thought this issue was supposed to be double stuffed.

Leaning over fourth wall?
So, I understand that this is supposed to be some GIANT battle. But I never go that impression from any of the scenes we saw. Whose fault is this, Hickman or Ribics?
>>78047399
Classic Thanos.
>>78047462

>>78047503
Are you disappointed in the lack of zoomed out splash pages?
It was all worth it for this
>>78047413
Ben, you are such a little bitch under Hickman.
>>78047486
>What a deus ex machina. This reminds me of the ending of the GotG movie whenthe crew really does not want Groot to die in their hearts and souls.
You're not actually this stupid are you?
>>78047531
I'm sorry I'm newfag at comics still.
So, the event is big fucking nothing.
I'm glad I didn't spend money on this.
>>78047521
Nah. I think I just never got the feel that this was some huge war. Maybe it's all the jumping around.
>>78047523
i thought it was a blunt lol
>>78047529
Did you expect him to try to squash what is basically his nephew? Have you never read Fantastic Four before?
>>78047542
>muh canon bs
>>78047518
Touche
He's still dressed in white though.
All this fucking copy pasting and general sloppy art is fucking triggering me.
>>78047399
The Sinister on the left, that's from issue 2.
That zombie, why is it there if the zombies still have to show up?
>>78047436
Black Swan on panel 2 showed up in every battle scene multiple times.
Black Swan in panel 4 was in the last issue, wth different eyes at least.
>>78047454
Thanos in the fourth panel is from issue 3.
Thanos facing Doom is from issue 1.
Doom backview is from issue 5.
>>78047456
Doom from panel one is his "talk to the hand motion" he used when he killed Strange.
Panel 4 and 5 are the same drawing blew up out of proportion, quality sucks because of that.
Doom and Thanos in final panels were both from issue 5.
Dos MARVEL realize they're paying Ribic multiple times for shit he already made?!
>>78047546
>Man Hickman writes Ben in a way that I feel is OOC
>Just kidding consistent characterization is retarded Ben just should kill everyone because he has strong powers

>>78047546

You complained about Ben's character yet you clearly know nothing about his character. Fuck off.

Not gonna lie I found this hilarious.
>>78047565
The reason he stopped fighting is 100% in character.
>meme tree
Yeah fuck off.
>>78047375
Well he was an ultimately pointless cast member, wasn't he?
>>78047591
To be fair so is nearly everyone else.
>>78047591
Him and Cyclops both.
>>78047577
Nah, I'm just geniuinely confused with what you want. Do you want Hickman to write Ben in character (ie not a bitch)? Because in that situation it's pretty in character for him to go down.
Do you want Hickman to write Ben out of character as a murder machine? Because that's just strange/
>>78047591
If you thought anybody except Reed and to a lesser extent T'challa were important then you are wrong.
>>78047603
This issue would have been a prime opportunity for Righclops to make a comeback.
>>78047331

you do realize that you argue in a thread about the weakest marvel comic of this year? you want a serious discussion? find it in another thread.
>>78047426
>Its 5:30 where it matters
Hell yeah Americ-bro!
>>78047615
Not that anon, but it's weird to me that this is what looks like 616 Ben, while Frankling and Valeria are certain Doom is their father.
>>78047619
And instead of that, we saw death of Mad Titan! What stellar storytelling.
>>78047615
Not that anon, but, I don't know, couldn't he just deck Galactus once? I mean, the kid obviously can fly, so why not take down the giant instead of surrendering?
>>78047443
Sheeeeeeit
Kaijus are always the answer
>>78047585
Groot is 100% catchphrase.
>>78047634
>but it's weird to me that this is what looks like 616 Ben, while Frankling and Valeria are certain Doom is their father.
Care to rephrase that?
>>78047462
Oh my Doom he killed an evil psychopath. The monster.
>>78047650
I don't know, it seemed that this is original Ben, with proper memories while Franklin and Valeria have fake ones.
>>78047591
It's gonna be fun in Illuminated Wars...
>>78047635
Its not about hurting Franklin its purely the principal of the thing.
>>78047477
I am super disappointed that Doom really is the final boss and the Beyonders aren't actually pulling the strings.
>>78047477
T'Challa seems like he's got a combat boner.
>>78047657
He doesn't. But Thanos told him what's really up with Doom. I don't really see how you got the impression that it was 616 Ben anyway.
>>78047659
Or Franchise Wars!
>>78047538
Blame Ribic. All the shit with delays is his fault and so is all the art.
Hickman's been done for ages it's Ribic who couldn't keep up despite his copy-pasting.
>>78047659
Oh hell yes.
>>78047666
it's not a boner, it's his siamese twin.
>>78047659
>>78047676
I hope he doesn't get lazy and actually takes the time to make edits of the other books that are even tenuously related.
>>78047406
>>78047413
Wait, how do you not know who your friend's kid is?
This feels rushed. Like they just ramped up everything for the final 2 issues. When is the finale of this shit?
>>78047631
I'm not upset as I said, just confused. If you're just shitposting that's alright, I just needed some confirmation. Some people are just retarded man.
>>78047694

This and issue 7 used to be one big issue.
>>78047701
Yeah, because discussing comics is not retarded?
>>78047704
Which is more entertaining than this comic was.
>>78047462
FATALITY
DOOM WINS
>>78047708
That webcomic deserves to be more popular.
>>78047724
flawless victory
>>78047455
>>78047523
Ironically, this one scene makes it look like Star-Lord is intentionally pretending to be Meme-Lord so that nobody expects him to pull shit like that.
>>78047375
Why did Hickman ven use this character if he never intended to do anything important with him?
Seriously, cut Terrax out of the plot after his first apearance and nothing changes
>>78047456
Wait, didn't Thanos have blue eyes last time?
>inb4 Thanos eyes
Yes, I know classically we can't see his eyes period, but that's neither here nor there.
>>78047785
He's such a throwaway character.
>>78047785
Because Hickman is a bad writer.
>>78047785
to pad the cabal roster.
>>78047425
Star-Lord is better written here than he's been in a while
>>78047456
>Annihilus just sitting there not giving a fuck
>>78047785
Now, every time you reread Hickman avengers, you will know that every single panel focused on Terrax is wasted. Entire pages like this one, where he's the sole center of the attention, are entirely useless, and could've been used to further the plot or the other characters.
How many pages does issue 9 have?
Because there is a LOT of shit that needs to be resolved
>>78047462
Knew it, Doom and Reed are Hickman's favorites, Reed even more so if someone is going to take out Doom it should be Reed.
>>78047466
What is with that Batman door of light?
>>78047894
Not really.
Doom escapes.
Reed and Sue don't.
Everything is back to normal except there are a few Ultimate stragglers on the ANAD Earth.
>>78047591
So are 90% of the characters in Hickman's Avengers/Secret Wars saga.
Remember Validator?
>>78047922
>Validator
Fucking who?
>>78047811
The Cabal roster was already big enough. And if he really wanted more members, he shouldn't have killed Black Dwarf or Supergiant
>>78047914
The Siege Courageous.
Unlike the Siege Perilous, it doesn't change you in any way.
>>78047894
At least 44 since it's a double issue. I could honestly see it being 50-60 pages though.
>>78047918
They're not dead just trapped or in another dimension. Everyone who died like Cyke are still dead in the new world.
>>78047926
Exactly
>>78047455
>>78047425
I feel this would work better if it wasn't already pre-established that he's now the meme character from the films.
>>78047926
Her wiki entry literally has only 2 paragraphs
>http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Validator_(Earth-616)
>Validator was part of the Omega Flight team sent by Department H sent to investigate the Origin Bomb site in Regina, Canada. The rest of her team was killed and she was changed by the event.
>She later joined Bobby da Costa and the Avengers in an attempt to unite all the creations left by the Origin Bombs.
Hickman wasted an entire issue on her, then just had her show up in the backgrund sitting at Sunspot's table. She was even more useless and needless padding than Pod
>>78047894
56 pages, according to the solicit.
>>78047558
They thought with the hiatuses and shit that we would forget.
But man it will be glaringly obvious in the trade.
I usually love Ribic's art, especially his Thor work but fuck Secret Wars was rushed as shit so either Ribic got lazy or event comics tend to bring out the worst in artists.
Multiversity was better.
>>78047918
There's still other things that need answering.
Like how the hell does Wakanda go back to its pre-Doomwar status?
>>78047938
>Everyone who died like Cyke are still dead in the new world.
Wrong.
>>78047978
no shit, sherlock
>>78047331
Ah shit that this was a great chapter
This would be so much better without delays and with the original number of pages of the nine issues.
>>78047938
No, Cyclops "died" (we don't know if he's really dead) attacking the Inhumans, nothing to do with Doom decapitating him.
>>78047469
hahahahahaha i legit thought this happened in secret wars 8 you kek
>>78047938
Cyke died in between Post-Secret Wars and ANAD Universe
>>78048027
No he died due to retconned reality, but I think anyone who stays dead now on battleworld (meaning everyone else who's dead like Steve and Tony (obviously) are alive again) will be dead in the new world for different reasons.
Also has there been any hint yet as to what happened instead of the incursion?
People refer to it like some event happened but its not clear what.
>>78048064
Don't be stupid mate.
>>78048064
616 Hawkeye died in Ultimate End, but he's clearly alive in ANAD dude
>>78048064
Dude just shut the fuck up.
>>78048073
Bendis loves killing Hawkeye.
>>78048081

>NOT LIKE THIS!
>not like... this?
>>78048094
Jesus Christ.
>>78048146
Genuinely what did he mean by this?
>>78048094
I really hate how people are this garbage up and handed Bendis the keys to the kingdom.
>>78048158
He meant that he didn't want to die "like this", by burning alive, so he'd rather die "like this" by blowing himself up along a Kree spaceship.
Bendis was too stupid to realze that all he did was make hawkeye look like an idiot that doesn't know how to take his quiver off, or maybe it's the artist's fault who knows
>>78048158
Hawkeye jumped on Kree guy, flew into spaceship's exhaust or whatever and blew it up.
mediocre event
>>78047477
This is bullshit, Doom saved multiverse yet he is the villain?
>>78048193
It should be bleeding out or some sort of "he's gonna really die"
>>78048243
>Doom
>saved the multiverse
Bitch can you read?
This chapter was pretty good. Being Ben is suffering
>>78047983
My guess is that T'Challa uses the Infinity Gauntlet to restore Wakanda
>>78047477
IT'S T'CHALLA TIME, BABY!
Where the fuck is Cyclops, though?
>>78047413
kek you little cunt Franklin
>>78047462
Finish him!
To be concluded... next February or smth.
>>78047477
Heh Doom was right when he killed Strange, the 'good guys' would fuck up his world. Doom Was Right! Who knew?
>>78047436
That is one fucking cool surprise.
You know, as someone who thought this event was really great at first...I really don't care now and it makes me sad.
>>78047477
I know the delays have sucked, but this art and this script make for one very nice comic. Wish we were getting a big double stuff issue instead of piecemeal, but in less than six months it'll read real nice and look real pretty in a hardcover on my shelf.
>>78047331
i completely forgot about this. I got used to waiting for this i still tought it was months away.
>>78047443
God damn, Franklin's face.
>>78048243
Technically, he's the one that destroyed it in the first place. He just only destroyed 99.999% of it whereas the Beyonders were planning on destroying all of it.
>>78047484
No. Ribic couldn't get it done in time so they split the double stuffed issue (7) into two normal sized (7 and 8), pushing the original 8 into 9.
>>78048740
Marvel will wipe their tears away with bonus cash.
>>78048760
Well, yeah, splitting it certainly makes Marvel more money so I doubt they care.
>>78048243
He didn't save it. He blew it up in the first place.
>>78048783
It did fuck up glorious wave of relaunches, though.
>>78048815
The delays were going to fuck them up no matter what. It was either the original issue 7 would have gotten delayed to today, or they split it into two issues.
>>78047443
Shit
Worth the wait
this event is really shite.
Fuck this shitty series and fuck Hickman's entire shitty run.
Terrax? Worthless. Everything builds up to him being squashed like a bug.
Tony and Steve beat each other to death as the multiverse ends and yet neither of them have any part to play in the main story of Secret Wars.
The Beyonders? Biggest Bosses Ever! Killed the Living Tribunal! Destroyed all of reality for fun! Oh wait, no, Doom just kills them and then he's the real boss for the main event.
Thanos? Wooh, he's tearing down the wall! He's unleashing the Annihilation Wave! Oh wait, no, Doom just kills him.
"I have a Phoenix Egg, Roberto"? Yeah, that was so significant, it led up to such important things......like Doom killing Cyclops too so Hickman could reference something from Morrison's NXM.
Nightmask? Starbrand? Captain Universe? Wait, Doctor Strange has a secret Infinity Gauntlet! And Black Panther's holding it now! Like that won't end in Doom raping him with his own gauntlet.
This is just Marvel stringing together a series of "Oh shit, that happened" moments together in a nonsensical, incoherent pattern.
>>78047443
So he's been sucking on Groot this entire time?
Thanos' death here is so fucking shitty I don't even have words to fully describe it.
"Doom I was a god once too, therefore I know you suck"
"Oh, are you a god now?"
"No but my dick is so big that its basically the same thing"
>>78047399

How come no other Marvel comic has been storytimed yet?
how hard is Franklin nerfed in this? if he can fight celestials this should not be a problem for him right?
ahahahhaahh what the fuck is happening
>>78049124
The shills haven't woken up yet I guess lol.
>>78049136
Franklin creates galaxies, so you figure out how hard is he nerfed.
>>78049124
Nobody wants Gotg. Scarlet with and black knight just came out. nothing else has.
>>78049217
>galaxies
He used to hide a universe in his cupboard m8
>>78049136
As an adult, he can. This Franklin is only like 11 or something. Still, strong enough to control Galactus.
>>78049227
That, I meant universe. Translating in head sucks sometimes.
>>78047778
Based Hickman, making Bendis work retroactively palatable
>>78049256
Based Bendis, giving job to Hickman.
I liked it
>>78049412
>liking Marvel
>ever
I want the shills to leave. Go read a real event like Robin War, not this meme trash.
>>78047338
whats a klick ?
>>78049429
Is "meme" now a word for /co/ like "SJW" for /v/? Big empty nothing, in which I can project everything I hate and/or fear?
>>78047357
wasn't Maestro a crazy man in front of a Destroyer statue for eternity? Fuck you Hickman, read your even tie-ins
>>78047477
If T'Challa showed up 45 seconds before he wouldn't be talking that shit

>Bendis jobbing on Guardians
No shit
>>78048997
>This is just Marvel stringing together a series of "Oh shit, that happened" moments together in a nonsensical, incoherent pattern.
This is just This is just Hickman stringing together a series of "Oh shit,Doom is so cool and awesome to wank him and Reed as much as he can.
>>78047959
At least Pod survives in New Avengers. I wait Ewing picks up Hickman loose ends and shows us what happened with Validator.
>>78048799
he saved the multiverse by blowing it up, retard
>>78047462
Sub-Zero wins!
Doom is really dragging his feet in this event
>>78047455
So the only thing you want from Bendis is him to make Starlord say he's dangerous and all is forgiven?
Come on.
>>78047500
if by 4th wall you mean Doom's illusion.

Giving water for a branch to live longer maybe.
>>78047456
>>78047462
kinda of a cool role reversal of the Thanos - Captain America scene from the original Infinity Gauntlet
>>78047399
That first panel is a lot more hilarious then what it has any right to be
And I wonder, is that Horde just the Annihilation horde or the combined forces of Annalihus and Ultron? Where is Ultron in all these anyway
>>78049459
Kilometer
>>78047436
>>78047443
Now that I think about it, is Black Swan dead too?
Becuase that makes her yet another character that has been present since issue #1 and whose "arc" ends abruptly with nothing to show for it.
Hell, she didn't even face anybody she knew, she gets killed by a character she had asbolutely no relationship with. It would've madde more sense have Namor or T'Challa or even Reed to finish her off.
Remember when all of /co/ kept insisting Hickman's entire Avengers run was good and it all was connected and Hickman would deliver a satisfying conclusion that tied it all up?
>>78047471
Why are zombies coming out from the same portal as BP, and Namor?
>>78051808
Because BP and Namor are leading them
>>78051751
Remember even before that when everyone predicted that /co/ would turn on Hickman once he get popular and now are predicting they will do the same thing with Ewing? Just watch.
>>78051751
As a guy who was feverishly following this run, i have nothing but seething rage left.
What a fucking mess.
Why is it that DC are the only ones who know how to pull an event off?
When was the ladt time a marvel one was good? Anhilation? Thanos imperative? World war hulk? Those are the only ones that spring to mind.
>>78051880
>BP using the infinity gauntlet to pull a pitstop in the deadlands to rally an zombie army.
I guess it's thematic, considering he's the ~King of the Dead~ and what not.
>>78049509
