I need to get up on those, unfortunately some are ridiculously overpriced



I have a few. The only pricey one I bought was Kirby's 4th World. It was about a bill after taxes. The main ones I'd really want to add are Hickman FF Vol. 1, OG Annihilation and Gauntlet. Marvel needs to drop a new print of these.

These shyts mostly go OOP, that's why second hand sellers have some high.

War of Realms just started and Marvel is already promoting a new event in July. :dead: :stopitslime:

Called Acts of Evil. Looks to be some sort of ripoff of the Acts of Vengeance event back in the day.

Gotta respect DC for :whoa: on the events. Marvel pushing these shyts out and they don't even have any real effect on the comic books post-event. :scust:
What annoys me is rehashing past events. Secret Wars, Civil War, Secret Empire, anything involving Infinity, etc.

Why not just create light skin Valkyrie instead of making Jane Foster look like light skin Valkyrie? :dwillhuh:

I'm indifferent to War of the Realms.

It's a conflict i don't particularly care about but it's something to do on a Wednesday

It'll be better than Fear Itself at least

can somebody help me list the times Marvel U has been "invaded"/taken over?

Like full scale fukkery.


Namor floods New York

Galactus appears

Casket of Ancient Winters

Evolutionary War

Dr. Doom/Purple Man

Inferno

Operation Galactic Storm

Infinity gauntlet/War/Crusade (regular people don't remember any of this)

Maximum Security

World War Hulk

Necrosha

Siege

That wack "Infinity" shyt where they used Thanos as a stand in for Ego in the GotG movie as a cosmic deadbeat dad and had him invade Earth.

AXIS

Time Runs Out

Monsters Unleashed

Secret Empire<==================== props to @Primetime

War of the Realms



that's roughly 10 years according to Marvel's sliding timeline. What am I missing? this recent constant symbiore shyt maybe?

edit: the Namor shyt had to have happened in the 40's, regardless of the sliding timeline, now that I think about it. Cause he fought the OG android Human Torch.

This may be partly why i'm indifferent to WotR. 2 issues in and it's not objectively bad, but i swear the celestials just gave us an extinction-level event for Thanksgiving and the whole Magog vs Jane Foster end-of-Asgard culmination seemed like a fitting... er.. culmination to all the Asgard stuff. But yet these space vikings out here being extra dramatic again.

idk. i was more engaged with the vampire stuff

I'm STILL finding shyt the more I think about it.

Mcu valkryie already exists in comics, and she wasn't the first valk anyway. This is a literal non issue. Especially since it was obvious Jane was coming back in some form.
