Not a lot happened. Needless deaths and no Shuma. Got really happy about him possibly showing up, but nothing happened. Also, bad dialogue throughout the whole thing. It was average at best, IMO.
Originally posted by BentleyWell I for one thought that the Revengers would be more formidable. They got slapped around throughout the entire story arc.

I don't think they've killed them off. Everyone keeps saying they died as if they were incinerated right before your eyes. They were in a collapsing universe, supposedly, and was last seen fighting Thanos. That's it. The GOTG believed they've died and the universe collapsed. It doesn't mean it is. As far as I concerned, their alive and if they're brought back into the 616, it will be through teleportation or stargate and not a ressurrection.
Anyways, i'll say this though. For those of you who are disappointed by this event, here's a list of prologue books (if you haven't read or have forgotten) for Thanos: Imperative to lead into the event. I'm sure those will supplement for tie-in books that were sorely missed in Thanos: Imperative.
GOTG 17
War of Kings: Who Will Rule
GOTG 18-19
Realm of Kings
GOTG 20-23
Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard
Realm of Kings: Inhumans
GOTG 24-25
Nova 36
Thanos Imperative: Ignition
Thanos Imperative 1-6
Thanos Imperative: Devastation

nonowho then threatened to destroy 616 in a fit of bezerker rage and blamed quill directly for his predicament. but he was contained
and then...let's not forget Annihilation
Yeah, he wigged out at death's nonresponse which is to be expected. Galactus like usual was just a minor blip in this story with Thanos taking center stage also proving Thanos' intelligence>>>Galactus's.
Originally posted by quanchi112Thanos got utterly duped in Annihilation. Don't try to spin it any other way. Surfer had to save the day. Thanos just made it that much harder by locking it with his en ergy signature. Quite ignominous that Thanos ultimately wasn't necessary to free Galactus because a near-dead Surfer could simply replicate it.

Well... apparently he has to get stunted by Starlord and Nova before doing so. For now. Frankly... even I was embarassed. Thought Thanos matured beyond pining like a schoolgirl for Death's love....
... oh wait... that was the Thanosi in Celestial Quest that evolved beyond that point... oops.

I know what they're intent was. It's pretty cliche. I just wished we would have seen Shuma wreck stuff up. 🙁

I enjoyed some of it but was a little disappointed, particularly by the end. The last issue seemed rushed again and after all the setup a lot of it didn't come to much. And yes the dialogue did seem a bit clunky and pedestrian in parts.
The Revengers were kind of losers, the Many-Angled Ones barely showed, Mar-Vell did almost nothing, Magus did even less. It felt like there were chapters missing.
As for the last issue:
- why did Nova and Star Lord need to stay behind, other than to try to make for an exciting finish? Vance said the cortex shut down secoonds after the GoG left, so exactly how was Thanos going to get out of that universe by himself? (He needed the GoG to get there after all). To me, two guys with a CC being left behind is a recipe for Thanos thumping said two guys, taking their CC and using it to escape.
- Thanos bringing Death in was kind of odd. Did she show up just because Thanos was dying or would any death in that universe have brought her? If so, Mar-Vell trying to kill the GoG would probably have been a dumb mistake since Death would have just showed and one-shotted him like she did anyway. And if Death had the power to do that all along what was stopping her - just the ability to cross over? Why not just go through the fault?
- And exactly what would happen to Thanos in a collapsing universe anyway since he can't go to Death in that universe or the normal universe? Maybe he would simply cease to exist or Oblivion would get him.
Still, overall I enjoyed it more than a lot of recent stuff.
Originally posted by basiliskI liked it. A lot. But your criticisms are shared by many, definitely.

Originally posted by basiliskI hated that they got rid of Magus. He definitely would have been better. And Magus being Mar-Vell's servant didn't make much sense. Magus was from that universe that never existed until Warlock had to bring it back. How did he get involved with Mar-Vell and the Many-Angled Ones anyway?

Originally posted by basiliskThanos could escape on his own. Starlord mentions it. It's why they needed to distract Thanos before Thanos could get over his anger and simply escape.

Originally posted by basiliskYeah. Guess you could explain it by this was the only way Death could bushwhack Mar-Vell. I understood the Necropsy was accomplished by killing the Cancerverse's Death avatar, which annihilated the Cancerverse Death. However, it was different here because Death decided to keep Thanos alive and showed up to fight back herself, instead of hiding away from the Many Angled Ones and getting annihilated anyway once the Death Avatar died... which is maybe what the Cancerverse Death did and why she died.

Originally posted by basiliskMaybe. Maybe the collapse hit the pont where even his teleporters can't get him out, so he's just stuck there forever and undying.

Not even close to Annihilation stuff. The problem with DNA for all there events is the invading forces never seem imposing save the Imperial Guard in WOK. Here what you have from the Cancerverse were basically fodder villains that accomplished nothing. Aside from WOK Imperial Guard where members of the IG died and GOTG where Moondragon went through hell with one of the Cancerverse creature, the rest of the Cancerverse beings were killed off with no casualties on the 616 side save Aegis. That Cosmic team went through the enemy team without much trouble at all save Marvell who just turned out to be a prop for that Thanos fight. The Annihilation Wave and Seekers decimated the Nova Corps, Skrull Empire, and much of the Kree. The heralds were needed to hold back a planet. The Cancerverse, Revengers, and Defenders of the Realm got wrecked - that's its. Somehow they were to be more powerful than the Annihilation Wave. The Galactus Engine did nothing while the abstracts stood around. None of the Old Ones actually fought. Bad story telling. If everybody thought about this story some more, they would begin to see how weak this book is. I know I said it was good but the more I think about this, I may just take it back.
Realm Kings, WOK: Who Will Rule, everything involving Adam-Magus Thanos Imperative: Ignition >>>>>>>> Thanos Imperative
Originally posted by WhiteWitchKingLets just say it like it is. It was rushed and incomplete. I think we all know that more was prolly intended and we got the abridged version.
