Originally posted by SquallXi should be more clear: zod was originally created in a laboratory as an heir for 'justice lords' superman and dianna(dna from each of them was used in his creation.) however, the brainiac of their dimension invaded earth, stole their unborn son/zod, gave him to 'mainstream DCAU' brainiac, who, in turn, traded him to jax-ur in the phantom zone to raise as his son. these scans explain it better than i can:
Haven't follow that series. Is Zod kal/Diana's son?
so while zod might be the biological son of justice lords superman/dianna, he was raised from infancy by jax-ur, thus considered him his father.

Didnt jax-ur get sucked into a blackhole?

That story far better than mainstream JL.

The longer this series last, the more ridiculous Thor's feats from the first arc become.
I enjoy the fact that being a God actually means something in this series. Even canon fodder are easily Herald level in certain respects.
I like how the girls and Galactus are easily tracking a ftl Thor.
It's interesting to note that the so-called Goddesses did more damage than King Thor did, or any number of other cosmic powerhouses. Comics don't necessarily have to make sense. Also, it's once again made clear that the Odinpower and Thorpower are no match for Galactus. Oh, and Galactus is surely going to lose against this amplified Thor.

Not really. Stormbreaker messed him up with that return enchantment but besides that they caused some minor annoyances against a Galactus that didn't really want to hurt them while King Thor vs. Galactus was much more intense and every time he was struck, it rocked his shit.
No match? Lol this guy.
Maybe.

Dude, Galactus looks like a Looney Tunes character who swallowed a stick of dynamite. His whole face is gone. It's funny that he's somehow still talking. All King Thor did was knock out a couple of teeth. What's worse is that King Thor fought a weaker Galactus than the Goddesses did. There's no way to spin this one, Rage.
It's also made clear that King Thor had no chance to win the battle. The solicitation that you posted actually says it in print. Both the Odin and King Thor fights pretty much went the same way, defeat for the skyfathers. In both instances they went for weapons and augmentation because they simply couldn't get it done via personal power. It is what it is. At least they put up a decent tussle before going down.
It's pretty pitiful for Galactus to be humiliated by three Asgardians they way he was. The "Who Can Blow of Galactus' Face" threads are on the way. lol

You don't read Aquaman?
I started reading Aquaman overseas, then just stopped reading it. The last Aquaman arc i read was the Sea King arc. The built up was pretty awesome, but the follow up and ending was stupid.
I mean for one, the trident, which is a magical weapon was melted by mere lava from the Ocean.
Another one was the Forever Evil arc, massive build up, ended with lack luster fights, and a even worse ending.
Another one, Batman Superman. Batman able to fight toe to toe with Superman.
Batman vs Bane was another one, that was just gut awful writing a his finest.
Every time an arc gets me hook, am always disappointed in the end. The only arc two arc i thought were done pretty well from begining to end were Wonder Woman's arc, and Morisson's Action Comic run. Even that fell a little rush to me.
Then again, am pretty anal about what i read.

Batman Superman was, and is, mostly crap tbh.
I'd stick with Aquaman, personally. It has its ups and downs, but it's a solid book for the most part.
How you feel about most books is honestly how I've felt about X-Men these last few years, so I feel your pain.

i know Pr isn't a fan, but green arrow has been outstanding since the new creative team took over at issue #17--it is definitely dc's best ongoing title right now, imo. i would definitely recommend it.aquaman and wonder woman are also consistently solid. everything else has extreme ups and downs.
Eh, even I can appreciate that it's an excellent book.
It's just not "my" Ollie, so to speak, is all.
Originally posted by Golgo13for me, a good title is all about consistency. that said, sinestro is only 2 issues deep--way to early to judge if it'll be a good book in the long haul. and the gl titles are extremely hit and miss--some are really good and some are really bad(though new guardians is my favorite current lantern book.)
Sinestro has also been awesome. GL/GLC as well.
where consistency is concerned: green arrow, aquaman, and wonder woman are the best all-around titles in dc right now, imo. almost every single issue delivers(especially green arrow.) JLD used to be among the top books in dc, but the story/plot has been slipping since the blight arc ended, which is a real shame--hoping it picks back up soon.

same with myself and DCnU firestorm in that regard(but at least the DCnU didn't take a steaming dump on GA, like they did to poor FS.) 🙁

Who's trying to spin anything? Like I said, the Girls of Thunder did some superficial damage but all they really did was annoy him while King Thor was actually "hurting" him in a much more intense fight.
The return throw f*cked him up, true, but this isn't Thor with Mjolnir or something (Where the connection is so intimate). That's a feat for the Odin powered enchantment more so than it is Etli.

The solicitations are nice bit of complementary evidence and a recap but it doesn't take precedence over the actual comic.* King Thor vs. Galactus was an intense match that Galactus just barely won. Arguing that King Thor was "no match" like you did is retarded. The Silver Surfer is no match for Galactus. King Thor is easily a peer in power based on this arc.
Galactus has proven to have the edge in power over both King Thor and Odin. Which I'm fine with. You however apparently aren't and seem to be intent on trying to "spin things" or whatever.

It clearly hurt him, but it didn't really slow him down:
King Thor had more of an actual impact with his other attacks were Galactus was actually hurting and getting supremely pissed. Comics are like that sometimes. Recall Superman shattering Soul Fire Darkseid and yet it having absolutely no effect vs. his fight with Orion being much more intense but without such damage.
Idiots will always make stupid threads. I think it's been proven over the years that being on the receiving end of an Asgardian weapon is no low showing even for cosmic beings.
*Whoever wrote this solicitation should be fired:

Galactus didn't punch King Thor through the moon and into deep space. Galactus didn't just barely activate his machine after his jaw was blown off......
After this post, if you want to reply, bump another thread.
