Black Bolt and Inhumans vs. Vulcan and Shi-Ar

http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080727-WarofKings.html

"Hopefully this will be a defining moment for the Inhumans as characters in the Marvel Universe."

"If it is Black Bolt, which we can neither confirm nor deny, he'll be very, very, very angry."

*Waits for Black Bolt Vs Vulcan thread(s) to appear*

http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080726-Secret-Invasion.html

Pokaski discussed Black Bolt's role in "War of Kings," saying that "we're going to see a different side of the Inhumans," and that Black Bolt will be "pretty pissed off."

Pretty much confirmed that it's Black Bolt.

It's tying in to Secret Invasion: Inhumans

yeah, i heard about this yesterday... i was going to MSN you, but... lookaround

Black Bolt better kill him to death.

whistling

nice how the cover's set up like a playing card. it'll clearly be black bolt and we're obviously all hoping he does, in fact, kill vulcan to death. "all" in the previous sentence clearly excluding the deluded and depraved followers of this "vulcan" character.

Also, for fans of Havok, Polaris and Marvel Girl

Leading up to War of Kings:

"For example, Marvel editor Nick Lowe said at Marvel's Secret Invasion panel that Chris Yost will be writing something with Vulcan that will lead up to the event and will include Havok, Polaris and Marvel Girl."

this sounds pretty good.

Also, apparentlythe Guardians of the Galaxy and the Starjammers are involved.

This points to be another good day for the cosmic Marvel Universe, good to get the Inhumans and the Shiar into the fold. We are just missing the Eternals now.

Seems like Marvel trying to have their own cosmic event to compete with Blackest Night.

are the kree and nova corp fighting with the inhumans?

I can see no reason to why the Nova corp should be fighting... But I look forward to see Black Bolt (Hopefully) spreading Vulcan all over the pavement.

I thinks its mainly going be some kind of conflict between the Shiar and the Inhumans. Btw did the Annihilation alliance defeat' Ultron Phalanx in the end? If so, how ?

Well i saw Nova(richard) gamora, and ronan. All fighting in the image of a big battle with the inhumans and shiar

I think it's the Shi'ar against the Kree, Inhumans, GOTG, and Nova Corps. But Blaastar is now the king of the Negative Zone so I'm not sure where he fits into all this. So far the Kingbreaker issue is fashioning Vulcan after Caesar. So there's that angle. But also my guess is a Vulcan and Blaastar alliance will be part of the storyline and possible Hitler/Stalin betrayal come about.

Nice.

The Roman get up is down to Vulcan's fascination with the Roman God of fire it's why he chose that codename.

Ah, haven't really read that much on Vulcan. Read parts of Deadly Genesis. However, I did read all of FOTSE (bad story) and Emperor Vulcan (good story).


But King Blaastar is still a wild card in this. I also hope Ravenous and crew would play some part in this war as well. It was fun to see the bugs and the Phalanx go at it during Conquest. And here's hoping the Space knights also partake in this too.

Because their canon fodders? Are the Kree soldiers that specially trained? Also, Starlord lead the Kree during both wars. He should know them well enough and more combat skilled considering the amount of fighting he's been in and the people he fights.

Its just that the kree are naturally stronger than humans, unless the writer did wrong, they should stand their ground just fine.

So... all of the Inhuman stories that were good, were BB (v4, and Silent War), and then they made the Skrull impostor only relevant to WWH, and the recent Skrull invasion?

It seems that way in the WOK Saga.

About time BlackBolt shows some power, can't wait to read my issue later

see thats why MU is kicking the shit outta DC right now...sure they line up one event after the other some are misses more than hits, but still they know how to keep ppl entertained...where as DC is letting hyped up writers run wild and taking thier own time and telling stories in ridiculously slow ways......30+ issues in and i still dont know where trinity is going.....ive all but given up on FC....and ive stopped caring about the round robin of deaths and ressurrections...im like meh

Well, it seems that the Kree have a new emperor, I say it was about time there were some actual characters in that empire -poor skrulls always getting the shaft-.

damn where is Quicksilver his wife will marry Ronan. Yeah i know ex wife. still crystal belongs to pietro.

Finally the Imperial Guard don't look like a bunch of chumps. My whining has paid off.

I would like to know more about the Imperial Guard, I love teams of obscure, quite futuristic/alien teams just like the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Inhumans, the Eternals, the Micronauts and such.

I just want blackbolt to kill vulcan and have an amazing fight with gladiator

The previews are looking good, hopes Kallark looks cool (I never noticed how much he looks like Tapion from Dragonball).

What do you think about the plot of Phyla and Drax in Guardians?

Quicksilver is currently possessed by the elder god, Chton, over in Mighty Avengers (the Dan Slott book).

Poor Ronan!

Which? Crystal pissing all over his heart with "this is matter of the states" or his universal weapon getting wrecked by an Imperial Guard?

Its good to boost some characters of the 90s and make them relevant instead of just erasing them in favor of Silver Age characters.

have some spoilers. of the Kree/Inhumans vs Imperial guard.

Ronan gets punked by some Shi'ar person i have no clue, but not before he gets a few hits on starbolt.

scans?

well going by the previous uncanny run :rise and fall......... Kallark has been around for at least 300 yrs, so yeah WTF? ive always wondered whhy a guy who is powerful enuff to sieze rulership eants to be a lap dog

Yep, I'm glad they actually talk Glads. He is admittedly the most interesting character of the Sh'iar, but we don't know anything about him.

When is the next issue of WoK coming out?

Starhawk said that the universe would be split in two or something when the Silent King screamed...

I have hope for BB, not for Vulcan or Blastaar though.

I hope not. So far it would seem the Shi'Ar are majorly prep while the Kree and the rest of the universe need catching up. Nova Corps and GOTG have yet to join the front line and I can't wait till that happens.

They listened!! The Imperial Guard aren't chumps anymore...heck I may like BB but I found myself rooting for the Guard in the issue.

Getting mopped your whole career, and finally having a decent showing, doesn't mean you're not a chump. It means you got lucky once.

Anyone know if there's a plan to collect all this?
I can't be bothered buying all these tie ins, but one or two trades or hardback would do me good.

He probably didn't have the former Smasher's skills, but we know that all the smashers have unbelievable durability and strength in common.

I don't think Gladiator would break the line of 3 former durable/strong smashers and get a guy with energy beams.

Black Bolt would of beaten Glads.

i hope every issue gets a new Smasher and then someone new kills him off =P

not sure if you really need kingbreaker, war of kings #1 is self explanatory.

Nova 24 looks like Nova Prime is getting an ass stomping.



WOK is turning out to be great so far. I'm loving DnA shaping the current MU cosmos.

{edited} Please use thumbnails in the future.

With Vulcan's experience in covers Warlock is going to sh*tstomp his ass. Vulcan is the master of cover battling.

Originally posted by Bentley

It took a sec to figure out what you meant by cover battling, but yeah it may turn out that way.

Here is my unspoilered opinion as of how WOK ends:

Blackbolt and Vulcan are engaged in a one-on-one battle in a mayor confusing combat that involves Gladiator, the Guardians and maybe Nova running around. The battle is at the point of a standstill, and then Vulcan does something (kill an inhuman, destroy a planet or some other character dramatic thing), so BB is pissed and going to scream. Warlock notices and meddles because the scream would rip reality and cheap shots the king in the back, knocking him down. Vulcan wins!

Second ending: Things are up to the point where BB is going to scream, Warlock doesn't manage to make him stop, and there is a reality rip that engulfs a whole chunk of Sh'iar space into another dimension. The hole is getting bigger and bigger, as the rest of the heros are left to search a way to stop its growth, Vulcan is left for dead without an empire and BB is a genocide.

Liked WoK 3, nice showing Rocket Racoon's strategy claims backed up for once. Gladiator owning pretty much everyone like they were nothing was cool too. Somehow slow from the Inhuman side.

All I have to say about War of Kings 3:

HELL YES ROCKET RACOON.


Although, I do really wonder how the whole Darkhawk deal is going to play into this. And the Nova Corps.

And is the Warlock/Vulcan confrontation taking place next "WOK" main series issue or is it going to take place in the next Guardian's of the Galaxy?

Man, they are just hitting it out of the PARK with this. I liked Annihilation and Conquest but this is just awesome.

Guys, use thumbnails. I edited out the giant-pics due to how much it disrupts screens and layout of the thread.

Also, I like this storyline. GotG has been good, and the main event is palatable. Though the recent "conversion" was far too predictable. It didn't even solicit an eyebrow raise when it happened.

I'm loving this series. I adore DnA's work.

The question I have... what is Maximus up to? What I really want is for DnA to be redeeming him... and that's kind of what it looks like... but there is a combination of Maximus' own personality and DnA's work... AC, Authority, Nova, Legion (going back for a decade) where they pulled a fast one with characters like that... is this a truly redeemed Maximus, or is he in league with Vulcan ("The president" in Legion- aka Ra's a Ghul? Or his he pursuing his own agenda (The High Evolutionary in "Conquest)?

And, with WOK 3, and Maximus' comment to Medusa, Crystal, and Karnak on page 9 with "we'll beat them or they'll join us..." ..... what is Black Bolt, Maximus, and Medusa planning?

They refused they arbitration agreement of the Guardians.... and I know the Guardians are being made out to slightly ridiculous.... but when you show up with Star-Lord and the former Quasar, it's not the same kind of thing.

BB, his brother, and his wife are plotting something that's going to UTTERLY **** up space/time. I mean, the GoG are throwing Warlock and Vance Astro and Groot and Drax and Gamora at the Shia'ra, but it's way more than that. I'm really, really interested in what DnA have to do with the "future" of the Galaxy.

My favorite issues of both the "post Civil War MU" and the "post Annihilation" Nova were when Richarch comes back to Earth and basically (and this was way before Worldmind turned on him... like eighteen issues).... "Stark WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING? WHY DID YOU NOTHING TO HELP THE TRILLIONS THAT WERE DYING?'

Abnett and Lanning are brilliant.... I'm way looking forward to the status quo they establish with the cosmics....

I actually do appreciate Bendis as much as I get pissed at him sometimes.... we have DnA on the Cosmics.... and Fraction on the mutants.... Brubaker and Hickman on the undercover stuff.... if only he'd let a guy lick Hickman (or even Ellis..... he's still on Marvel's payroll) on the Magic stuff.... that'd be an UNBELIEVABLE line-up.

I would hope they don't since I'm getting sick of stories involving that thing. I am, however, anxious about the Vulcan/Blaastar/Talon alliance and hoping Ravenous gets involved in WOK some how.

War Kings #6
Guardians of the Galaxy #17 - Warlock, Polaris, Havok!
Nova #28 - Ravenous, Xenith, and the Imperial Guards! Damn, and there's still a chance that Robbie might die: OH YEAH!

Vulcan vs. Warlock

http://www.cosmicbooknews.com/previews/gotg14preview

Nice, the "to the death" title would be more intriguing if not for the fact War Lock is in the cover of the next issue.

Also, has anyone seen the second installment of Kallark's history? (WoK warriors 2)

I know, Mentor, Oracle and Magique in the same comic. Plus there's Electron, Scintilla, Nightside, Starbolt, Voyager,Hussar, Fang, Hobgoblin, Plutonia and Titan appearing all over this crossover I might explode. I'm so happy that the Imperial Guard are starting to get some panel time.

Pardon my ignorance, but how is the war between the Kree and Shiar going to tear apart the fabric of the universe?

(I've only read the first two issues and a bit of WOK 3) And yes I'll pick up the rest WOK on the second to last issue after I've got a read on how good it is overall but for now...

From what I've read so far it's hard to root for Vulcan as villain I think he'd do better as an anti-hero.

It seems that the annihilation war weakened the fabric of the universe, getting a huge armada from the Negative Zone through the Crunch, using Galactus as a weapon, etc. There are holes in the universe and weapons such as Nega Bombs can cause reality rips because the fabric is weak (imagine the bleed, other universes start to phase into 616). That's more or less the idea.

WOK #4 is a great issue tho. Didn't understand how Talon pulled it off but then I realized it was Razor who was in Chandilar pulling off the assassination attempt, not Talon.

Kinda had issue with them not featuring Havok due more, since it left the feeling that he could've done more to protect Lilandra. Then you had Korvus who was f##### useless. You're suppose to protect Lilandra - not Rachel - idiot!

I was so happy Lilandra died. She is useless, it is about time she got killed off.

Maybe she won't die, it seems to me she is getting a "War of Kings Warrior" book, so who knows?

But yeah, as a character she is kind of meh.

Only because she wasn't hooking up with Gladiator more often. More of her banging Gladiator would make her a much more intriguing character.

imo, war of kings changed darkhawk from a "meh" character into a "that guy could be cool soon" type of guy.

So, methinks Vulcan's been on a plot-needed powerup this event. If he isn't, he's about to get his ass handed to him. But I think he is, as it would also explain the thorough trouncing of Warlock in Guardians, and the upcoming final issue.

Minimal tie-ins (you really only need GotG to follow everything), and a solid plot. This event still has my approval. It's not great, but Marvel's cosmic stuff has been good for some time now. Thinking back to Starlin's old stuff, I can't remember a period where Marvel's cosmic stories weren't good. Much (much) more consistent than Marvel Earth.

WoK 5 was mediocre.

Interest dropping, dropping, dropping....

Yes.

This series has transformed Medusa into quite the idiot.

Save for Ronan and Crystal, the entire Royal Family looks like idiot with this Terrigen Bomb thing. The only thing saving this would be WOK 6 revealing Maximus mind controlling Black Bolt and everyone throughout the series and this bomb is only a ruse to kill off Black Bolt.

I'm absolutely loving this series.

I think it's surprising that Marvel's cosmic stories are turning out to be the best stories, in my opinion. Loved Annihilation, loving War of Kings.

Its a shame we didn't get many powerhouse fights. Vulcan vs BB was quite nice know.

So Lilandra is dead and now Gladiator is the King? I don't think I like this.

Vulcan shouldn't have been able to beat Adam, much less Black Bolt. But I like how this tied into Thanos Imperative.

Vulcan would've beaten BB and Adam at the same time
