Quick, Golgo, make the thread!

Also, those new trippy forms Marvel abstracts have started morphing into are basically just what happens when they shift into battle-mode, yeah?
Originally posted by DarkSaint85I haven't read any issues of this series yet, but was Atom consciously aware that he was doing this or was his power being exploited by someone else?
This makes all the posting of random scans worthwhile.Also, I would argue Cap Atom is BEYOND Manhattan:

If the former, then that's like one of the best feats in comics.

Gotta say, the usage of Sinister and the artwork elevates this story to a nice horror story.
I just wish it was on a more consistent release schedule... They've only released 3 issues in the past 6 months, and issue #4 doesn't even drop until May. I know Hickman is busy, but goddamn. ermm
Gotta be honest, Doom nuking Bucky's hometown of 20,000 people to frame him is pretty phucked up. It's one thing to lead Bucky by his nose into a trap after he was warned not to meddle. But Doom did the same with the Avengers and HYDRA. Difference is, Doom did show up in-person to save innocent people from HYDRA when they went full kamikaze.
Just kinda expected Doom to detonate the nuke above Shelbyville or something. Nope. Just let the nuke drop and killed them all.
Originally posted by Galan007I would've thought any delays would be on Ribic. Hickman is such a prolific writer that a small army of artists are needed to catch up with him.

Originally posted by Galan007Y'know... it just struck me that even though I am enjoying this story... it just seems that Eternal Storm Ororo is serving a role that... Phoenix Jean Grey was perfectly suited to handle? Like... Jean's already kinda doing it but on a much smaller scale in her own book.

It's kinda weird.
Originally posted by ODGYeah, I honestly don't know what's up with the delays, but Ribic would make more sense in this case.
I would've thought any delays would be on Ribic. Hickman is such a prolific writer that a small army of artists are needed to catch up with him.
But ever since The Black Monday Murders (fantastic read, btw) was put on [maybe indefinite?] hiatus before it reached a proper conclusion to the second arc, I get nervous whenever I see one of Hickman's books start getting longer delays. I know mid-series cancellations are less likely to happen with big two titles, but he also took like 7+ years to wrap-up S.H.I.E.L.D., iirc.
So yeah, I just don't want to see AvA go in that direction, is all. *crosses fingers*

Storm being the key player in a bonafide cosmic-level story does seem odd/random when they have better(or at least more fitting) options available, imo.
It works for characters like Surfer, Thor, Captain Marvel, Phoenix, Quasar, etc. because many of their stories are oriented on a cosmic scale anyway... But Storm =/= those guys in that respect, so the whole premise just seems a bit out of place for her. It's starting off good enough, though.
On that note, I loved Doom's comically nonchalant dismissal of Storm here:
dc cosmology has been revised on placing higher than marvel in vsbattles again

dc has far more tier high 1A and the only tier 0 out of the two verses

LT sneaks up behind oblivion to wack his snake head is hilarious to me

random poor sap? how dare you that's eternal maddniss the insane!
