A new God Squad made up of Thor, Galactus, Sersi, Silver Silver Surfer, Venus and Hercules? Awesome.

Unfortunately it's being written by Greg Pak and we all know how he handles Cosmic beings and Gods.

On an even better note, the Hulk and his family are included as well.

Expect to see the Hulk outperforming Galactus, the Silver Surfer, *insert favorite hero* in late 2010.

What an incredibly cheezy and/or lazy name by the way. I mean seriously, the "Chaos King"?

marwash22
i saw this featured on fresh ink, it looks to be epic.

What has Greg phucked up? I liked his run on the Hulk titles.

Martian_mind
Dammit Marwash, when I read that you liked PG more then Wonder Woman I was like, "Damn, there's a guy with taste!" then you have to go and say something like that.

Prof. Wagstaff
Marty. Settle down.

Warlord
hmmm Pak writing a cosmic event with the hulks included?
Yaeh I can see the green dudes showing the tribunal who's the stronger there is and stuff...

Juk3n
More Galactus is never a bad thing, but if i see any mention to how 'Hulks strngth rivals Galactus' own' or any such fanwank cheese writing, i'll probably burn the series.
Cosmics im happy about, but i just don't want to see Hulk save they day, where Thor or Surfer have failed facepalm.

dmills
@Juken,
Ah, Look who's writing it. Prepare to be disappointed. stick out tongue

Kazenji
Fred Van Lente is pretty good.

Bentley
Hey wait a sec I thought Sersi ended up dead in the last Eternals event? Maybe I skipped a page or something.

Mindship
Galactus should not be involved, or involved only peripherally. The more frequently he pops up in stuff, the less awesome he comes across, IMO.

Blanket
This is the worst idea since being too OT in the OTT.

TheTyrant
So, they're pairing up GALACTUS with a bunch of herald level characters?

I would totally buy it though. Galactus + Herc = win

Omega Vision
^Why are you having a conversation with yourself?

Kazenji
He's gone crazy...better call the nut house.

guy222
Sersi was with the Fulcrum

Amatsu-Mikaboshi is the bad guy

Rage.Of.Olympus

Bentley
Who do you think is the character coming back?

dmills
So this will start while Thanos Imperative is still going on? Talk about pissing on each others feet.

Bentley
Surfer and Galactus can fight two multiversal enemies at the same time, they're that good wink

dmills
Reading the premise, it looks like they were, heavily "inspired" by Annihilation. Do they even try at Marvel anymore?

I'll probably just pick up the trades.

Gecko4lif
I find myself wary of this

and isnt surfer already in galaxies mightiest heroes?

dmills
Yep. But hell, they don't care, just look at their team books. They were leaving DnA alone to do their own thing with the cosmic stuff. But now they're "borrowing" Nova for Avengers crap. Ugh.

Galactus on a TEAM with earth heroes. Thats all we need to know that this is gonna be crap. They should just leave the Big G alone, he is getting enough play in Thanos imperative. This Chaos war nonsense is not needed.

You quoted yourself big grin

I don't really see how putting Nova in an Avengers book is a bad thing, it will help to give the character more exposure so people can get into his ongoing and Marvel cosmics will be healthier than ever.

Heh.

Hulk's going to outperform Surfer and Galactus is going to exclaim how his never seen such infinite power or some shit. He then goes on to get stomped Atum style.

Now you'll feel my pain.

Yea. Surfer's pretty lucky he hasn't run into Thor yet.

He wasn't. Skyfather's are just closer to Abstracts than you think. Odin and Galactus? Equals. ohhh

Because Mikaboshi isn't a skyfather. He isn't some evil force. Mikaboshi is the void that existed before everything including the gods. Pak seems to be refining his origin to reflect the actual mythology of Amatsu-Mikaboshi. This Mikaboshi will exist even prior to Galan and his previous universe.

dmills
It's the "I'm interested to see the reaction when it rolls out" part that got my attention. IMO it only makes sense if some sort of controversy is involved, i.e. Thor pwned.

Seems to be quite a few of these "pre Galactus dark void" guys running around. The Secret Avengers are trying to stop another one from rising.

Maybe Galactus will just play the "I face the abstract you face the physical" as in the Thanos Imperative complex. I would buy that.

Spectre being part of what was at the time the most powerful Superhero team in comics wouldn't be the same as Galactus joining a team that usually deals with streetlevel or low meta threats. Almost as bad, but not the same. stick out tongue

well not just big G. This is written by Pak so for sure we will see the likes of Thor jobbed out to the herald of the emissary of the vanguard of one of the slave gods under Miko's control.

Yay! I've always wanted to see Galactus as a member of a team. His persoanlity makes for some very interesting dynamics with this crowd.

Cartesian Doubt
The more I hear about this more its sounds like Marvels Answer to Blackest night.

Dan Diddio : Woah this re-animated dead concept, D.C. are running with sounds really cool.

Brian Bendis; Yes it does,

Jeph Loeb; Why don't we do something similar with Marvel ?

Dan Diddio; wouldn't that be a little , well ... unoriginal and pathetic ?

Brian Bendis; Maybe, but who cares ... Its an event, and we know how little quality we have to expend on those. And didn't Mark get away with blatant plagiarism, in Civil War ?


Mark Millar; I like it when things go BANNNNNGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!

Bendis; Ok ... confused . but Mark we all know that was basically a piss poor pre-equal to King dome Come?!


Dan Didio: and it made US shit load of money.

Mark Millar; I love it when SHIT explodes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeph Loeb; Well Brian, has done the last couple retarded events, and Im busy raping the Ultimates .... and well Mark wants to write that "What If Jesus was really Hitler, and the holocaust was his way of getting revenge on the jews" book.

Mark Millar; and then his ball sack EXPLODES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan Didio; Shut up Mark ... Don't make me call Grant Morrison !

Jeph Loeb; What about, Ed, Warren, Hickman or Fraction.

Dan Didio; Nah, we only make them do work they actually want to write, without some method of blackmail. Sorry about those photos Brian ....

Brian Bendis;Its ok ... What about that other guy writing the Hulk books, with you Jeph ?

Jeph Loeb; You mean the guy who wrote that God awful, Hulk event ?

Dan Didio; He's Perfect !!!!!

Galactus involved make sense if you think about it, if Galactus is killed his death will bring the destroyer Abraxas. since Mikaboshi wants to end everything it makes perfect since to have Galactus involved. Miksboshi during the story has total control over the dead basically he has taken out Hades, Hela all the death Gods and there realm, in the previews we see Alpha Flight return, Fallen Avengers, Abomination, Ares, and maybe the return of Atom the God Eater and Kly'bn and Sl'gur't, etc.


This could be better than Blackest Night, wait and see.

Rage.Of.Olympus
You and Greg identify the Olympians using epithets common to them. Zeus Panhellenios--Zeus of all the Greeks. Athena Parthenos--Athena the Virgin. What's Hercules epithet? Since he's (for now) King of the Gods, does he get one?

"Panhellenios" could just as readily be Herc's title too. Although it would be a little reductive, since he is now way more powerful than Zeus ever was. My preference is to refer to him as "God of Heroes," a mantle he long technically, but now literally, embodies.

Damn, Hercules is nearly Odin level.

Bentley
Now Herc is Marvel Superman eek!

Rage.Of.Olympus
According to Snider, that's Hulk. Thor's Marvel's Wonder Woman apparently.

Man, Thor is going to get his shit pushed in by Hercules so hard. Hercules is Pak's new pet and their going at it in the first issue of Chaos War.

Can't Pak just stop using Thor in his stories? Is that so much to ask?

psycho gundam
sounds like shit

let me know if hulk trolls the series by showing up herculese's punk ass

jalek moye
meh. I liked Herc's normal powerlevel him being Odin level or above is pretty lame to me.

Agreed. Why the **** is Thor depowered when he gets a freaking movie?

DEAD FCKING SERIOUS

Great when Thor first became a skyfather his sense to protect got overwhelmed from his power and him became a dictator.

During Reigning, you do realize Thor wasn't whole? Odin split Thor like in half. The part of him that offers perspective and understands humanity was separated in the form of Jake Olsen.

Same could happen with Superman. During Waid's run when Clark Kent and Superman were separated, you could soon see the difference in Superman's behavior. He became cold, started calling himself Kal-El, and began wearing Kryptonian attire. Sooner or later, he'd go on to take over the Earth or something.

Same here.

Incredible Hercules was a great series because it was very fun and suited Hercules well.

For some reason Pak flipped Hercules and Thor. He had Thor appear in the joke like mini that lead to a serious event which had Hercules as the main character. It's just....off.

jalek moye
Just the whole change is just meh to me. Unless he loses this power up in this event I doubt I'll care about the character anymore. Herc is the arrogant, womanizing, punch happy barbarian with a heart oif gold. Wise all powerful god doesn't suit him.

It better fits a more serious character. Also him and Thor not being able to have their fun fights is lame.

Remember Rune King Thor?
its good to give him a power up so he can save the universe, do you think regular hercules have a chance in chaos war?

as i've been arguing on cbr, they should just find mika and throw him in the cancerverse and let the two sides destroy each other and be done with it and then marvel can use the time to come up with something original.

Bentley
The only good thing about Chaos War is that Eternals get to interact with other characters, I don't know why they even try with the rest; Cosmic is a very dubious adjective for this event imo.

You're not cosmic unless there are bucket helmets and a raccoon using an absurdly large gun.

Warlord
let's see what Pak has in mind for both of them...

CosmicComet
**** Pak, except for the respect Herc is getting. Being above Zeus/Odin is a power up that he needed for once just like Thor did, for what will be an obviously short time of course.

Marvel's cosmic storylines have been consistently good for some years now.

Heh, apparently Breevort thinks that Odin is more powerful than current Hercule who is far more powerful than Zeus. I know his opinion means shit but it made me smile.

Speaking of opinions what do you guys think about this statement from one reviewer.



IMO it's spot on. I think it's healthy distingish the two.

Warlord
nah. I don't bother.
To me cosmic is whatever has cosmic consequences, be it a "god" or an "abstract".

I mean the fight between Odin and Seth busted a galaxy. You can't dismiss it as a cosmic event

but all this is technicalities really. all that matters is the story to be good

dmills
I think the problem is that Marvel has never really distingished the two until recent times. It got to the point where cosmic fans could read Nova and Gotg without giving a damn about Marvel Earth.

dmills
Now with the two titles on "hiatus", we have to get into the more mainstream titles with mainstream characters to get our cosmic fix. That means Chaos War.

Bentley
As long as they keep doing about 4 cosmic minis at all times next year I think I'll survive, maybe something like Imperial Guard, Inhumans, Heralds/Nova and something like Age of Heroes or Strange Tales with new adventures each week -or two like this all year-. Could be fun.



My Guardians!

**** the inhumans and the imperial guard. The guardians of the galaxy is what it's all about.

Yeah, you're right sad

Something tells me an Enigma Force mini made by Pak can't probably replace them.

Oh and BTW did anyone catch Hiro-Kala referring to the World Mind? WTF is that all about?

That actually comes from the Micronauts, Acroyear it's from a race who used their whole planet as a weapon, when I first read that it made me think of the Old Power and it seems Pak followed the same path and mixed both. Good find in my eyes.

Don't know if this will please any Thor fan, But this is a preview of Chaos War:Thor#1

I guess this also says how powerful Amatsu Mikaboshi is since he can boss around a being that has the essence of an Entire Pantheon into one.

Warlord
why wouldn't it please a Thor fan?

Pak uhuh

I actually liked many of the things Pak has done recently, I like him much better than Bendis, but since he has written such a hardcore Hulk I can only be a little wary.

CosmicComet
I don't think Pak will be writing Thor's little solo with Glory.

Warlord
he won't.
let's see how he treats the rest of the titles though

but its pretty weird how thor will be fighting a being who they describe as being as powerful as all the olympions merged with zeus
thor would probably win too erm

I was kind a worried that the writer might be Bendis.But I reread the site and found out it ain't Bendis.Still, its cool Thor gets his own story in Chaos War.And the fact Amatsu Mikaboshi sends a being this powerful to kill Thor might mean something big for the thunder god.There are lots of things happening in Chaos War.Ares returns in Chaos War:Ares,Chaos War: Dead Avengers,Chaos War:Alpha Flight,Chaos War:God Squad will take place between Chaos War#3 and #4 and might add another member in the squad,Even Amatsu Mikaboshi has his own book titled Chaos War:Chaos King that will explain his side of the story on why he wants to destroy everything.It might even feature the Amatsu-Kami pantheon.Here's a Q & A of things happening in Chaos War.

Warlord
seems good

Bentley
Yep, everybody wants to see Surfer fighting Thor and Hercules at once.

Warlord
Thor and Skyfather level Hrec.
Yes we do

753
blocked mjolnir with the board huh? smooth.

Sr J-Bieb
I bet that's the end of the 'fight'. laughing out loud

That doesn't help to sell me in that this is properly written though, but we'll see.

Warlord
I bet they'd start talking after that
