DarkCrawler KABOOOOM!!

I'm a bit dissappointed in this, I have to admit....

Only great titles (and only worth reading IMHO) have been Silver Surfer and Nova. The ones I waited most were mostly a bit crappy (Skrull and Ronan) I mean, WTF was with Gamora? And the art in Super Skrull 😘

Surfer and Nova is all I've been reading. Never cared about the other two but I did pick up the issue where Gamora kicked around Ronan.

Has Quasar always been like that, by the way? I like him. Not because he is badass or anything, but because he is...nice. Polite. Is that odd?

Surfer has the best art hands down. But I think I like the story of Nova better.

Yeah, Quasar has always been like that. He was an Avenger for awhile back when Sersi was an active member during one of their more ecclectic memberships and eras.

He also had a solo series which had a pretty good run, it was written by Gruenwald and was supposed to be pretty good. I've only read a handful of issues, but it had a crossover with the New Universe, featured Project: Pegasus and the Squadron Supreme a lot and Makkari was a good friend of Quasar's and often companion.

Quasar was also given the Star Brand at one point, about 10% of the power he wielded with the Star Brand remains within his body. Were he to die, if his body was left intact, over time it might regenerate, if any creators want to go near the can of worms that is the New Universe.

Quesada remarked awhile ago in one of his Joe Friday's columns over at Newsarama that he liked the Quasar set up, but Wendell Vaughn as the wielder of the Quantum Bands has never really worked for him and I can see his point. Wendell was just another run of the mill SHIELD agents before he found the Bands (I forget the exact story, but it had to do with SHIELD since they confiscated the bands after Bob Grayson seemingly died). Aside from that, he had no real reason for being a hero, it was always just "sweet, I have super powers, may as well use 'em for good."

Interestingly enough, for any Quasar fans, the original bearer of the Quantum Bands, Bob Grayson a.k.a. Marvel Boy will be returning in Agents of Atlas. I'm interested to see if Parker elaborates on the Quantum Bands and their early history.

I too think Wendall Vaugh is the other hero that is going to die. 🙁 Although, I'm pretty sure the Quantum Bands will be passed on to another. Whoever takes in the reign of the Quantum Bands better do the bands some justice.

He's gonna own her oh so hard.

But, wherever there is Gamora there surely will be Warlock. I feel a major jobbing coming. Unfortunately I think Warlock will do the jobbing. 🙁

Damn...

Giffen said Warlock wasn't going to show up in Annihilation.

Scans will be up soon of Nova Annihilation #1 and #2.

This is so sad...

Nova #4 has confirmed my suspicions:

Spoiler:
Annihilus has killed Quasar and has taken the Quantum Bands for himself. 🙁 God dammit...

Spoiler:
Doesn't he still have a percentage of the star brand? then he should be revived no?

Spoiler:
He should still have an insignificant amount of it left. He should be able to resurrect himself with it. The thing is, I have no idea what he's going to do after that. I mean without the Quantum bands he's basically just an immortal human.

Crease Who cares...

I so wish I hadn't read thatcursing

It's not even a very matter of fact death. So easily reversible it's not worth a tombstone.

I think the Marvel folk are gonna forget abou that little factor. Ever since that Joe Q interview I knew Quasar was on the chopping block. He said Wendall isn't interesting and will never be. If someone made a push for him he could be. He's supposed to be a Captain America of the cosmos, so make him act like it. You guys can't imagine how pissed off I am at Marvel for this. I mean if I had a chance to write comics Quasar would probably be my first choice.
