MOTW 7/24/13 - That doesn't turn out well for anyone

Young Avengers #8. Big issue, lots of big moments, but none bigger than this for fans of Gillen's previous work.

    Out of all the awesome, crazy things in this issue, this was the highlight for me. I actually "squeed" out loud. It was mildly be embarrassing.

    Also the Hawkeye Annual, featuring Lady Hawkguy, was great, as usual.

    The Hawkeye annual had great writing, but I personally hated the art.

    There already was an Inferno 2, but it was written by CB Cebulski and so no one read it or remembers it and it vanished into the aether as it should have.

    .@iamsteranko It's easy to be cavalier with material when you have no context or consequence. Mark Millar proves that better than most.

    to be fair, Loki was in a bad spot
    He had to turn his body over to an evil version of himself, and wanted to keep Leah away from that to protect her, except he wasn't able to tell her or anyone else what was happening or why. He asked Leah's boss/master Hela to send Leah away from him, and Hela did so by sending her to the distant past.

    Yep, Hunger pretty much means things are over in the Ultimate universe.
    There must always be a Galactus for every universe. Since 616 Galactus just absorbed Gah Lak Tus, well... No more Galactus, no more universe.

    though I'm curious if Galactus not being present in 616 is opening the door for Abraxas

    because that would be very bad, and the multiverse is fucked enough at the moment

    The result served to re-create a reality in which Abraxas never existed, and since all that was had ended, all that is was realigned, allowing Mister Fantastic to survive along with all those who died in Abraxas' reign of terror.
    doubtful

    oh, fair enough. I missed that and thought things had been reset prior to Abraxas' escape

    though like I said, 616 is boned enough right now Abraxas would just be overkill

    Well, according to one of the writers
    Gah-Lak-Tus has been overly effective, leaving the Ultimate Universe mostly devoid of life outside of like the Kree and Chitauri/Skrulls

    I still can't believe they jobbed out the Living Tribunal. That's the closest analogy Marvel has to an omniscient, omnipresent, all-powerful capitol G - God.

    That + Hunger + "The timestream is completely fucked" story thread coming out of Age of Ultron = Maybe Marvel is considering a Nu 52 style universe reboot after all.

    no reboot, but a lot of alternate universes are probably going to die

    ...holy fuck. I've figured it out. This is all a plot by Marvel to force Jeff Parker to write a non-alternate universe story.

    Linespider5Linespider5 ALL HAIL KING KILLMONGER Registered User regular
    I kinda figure that
    616 and Ultimate Universes are gonna basically go the way that 616 and Ultimate Galactus went. 616 will take over with some beefed up finery and prettier outfits for some, cool new underlings for others. You know, like you do.

    Given that 2099 is going to start bleeding into 616 continuity as well, 616 may start to become a kind of multiversal hub.

    "start"

    ...also holy fuck. I'd been thinking of the Young Avengers storyline separately from the rest of the Avengers books because of that whole "interdimensional parasite causing all adults to be oblivious to the problem" thing, but it just clicked for me that the Young Avengers are jumping from universe to universe and going up against a interdimensional parasite at the same time as all the other shit is going down.

    also the whole "America Chavez can kick holes in spacetime to make portals to other universes" thing

    Uncanny Avengers has a Kang/future Apocalypse kids conflict brewing. The Young Avengers are multiverse hopping. The X-books are about to have a huge timeline mashup. Captain America's first arc was in an alternate univese. With the exception of Hawkeye and maybe the Defenders, it seems like every Marvel Now title is revolving around time travel and multiple universes.

    I definitely don't want any sort of Flashpoint / Infinite Crisis history rejiggering to happen. Own what has come before. I barely tolerated the recent Age of Ultron temporal shenanigans. At least they
    seem to have been fairly limited so far to bringing weirdo time travelers into the universe rather than wholesale rewriting of reality.

    nah, the narrative context provided by the 616 universe's long & rich history is one of Marvel's biggest strengths, I don't see that going anywhere. If anything they're trying to fold the best parts of other universes into their main one.

    Old and stodgy in Marvel terms means that you love you some alternate universes. That's exponentially true if you are an X-fan.

    Hell, last I checked, the X-Men have had members from at least three different alternate universes in the book at the same time.
