    Are you finally coming around Servo?

    Also you should read X-Men: Legacy dude, it's pretty much written for people like you and me.

    You'd want the Essential that collects UNCANNY #155-170, Rans.

    Bah, I just looked it up on Amazon, you'd have to pick up both Essential vol #3 (145-161) and vol #4 to get the full Starjammers/Sleazoid saga.

    the one thing I don't like about the Uncanny Omnibus is the cut off is issue 131

    I mean, really? thats the best place to break the collection?

    I was kidding. I'm guessing they felt that ending it at #131 would obligate people to buy the next omnibus, even though ending it at #138 (to get the Dark Phoenix aftermath issue) would have made more sense. That way, you lead off the next volume with the "Wolverine in Canada" adventure, and Days of Futures Past.

    the first one I used to, but I don't know where it is anymore.

    The second I have as part of Essential Dazzler, but not the actual issue.

    I'm surprised there was enough "Essential Dazzler" for a first volume. I'm not sure how they'd fill a second.


    Disclaimer: I have never read any of the comics starring her, and have really only seen her as a guest star in old spider-man comics. Perhaps you could enlighten me on the greatness of Dazzler?

    Only from around issue #218 thru 252. Then she had the two-parter in 261-262, and then disappeared with Longshot for like five years.

    Regarding this weeks Herc...
    looks like they killed Kly'bn. I guess there is another "He" after all. Someone at my comic shop mentioned the Beyonder as a possibility but I still think it could be Doctor Strange.

    When Kly'bn died, their ship got fucked up and it also coincided with Reed's escape. Why does there have to be another he?

    Also, how in the hell could Doctor Strange or the Beyonder be "he"? An Earth Hero or an incredibly powerful celestial who used to be an Inhuman?

    I agree with you here, there's
    no indication whatsoever of another 'He". Far from it.

    I've never really understood the speculation on who "He" is, I always thought it was kind of obvious they were talking about a Skrull god

    What interests me is how the death of the skrull god will affect the main book. People only reading the main series and not reading Herc I'm sure will expect some kind of answer to his identity. I guess I just expected Kly'bn to be some sort of red herring. Jeezus, issue 6 can't get here soon enough.

    I liked how it coincided with
    the Captain Marvel attack and Reed escaping.

    It's like, "hahah! Your Satan is attacking you, your anti-christ got out, and your God and Jesus were just smushed."

    bad things come in threes.

    You know after reading that New Avengers #44 preview, it seems the skrulls didn't know what to do to retaliate until Reed threw his two cents on how the skrulls could infiltrate without being detected.

    Skimming through next weeks Mighty Avengers preview, would it have been that hard for Marvel to change the solicit to actually reflect what's going on in the book? I know Bendis through them a curve ball when he decided to hold of on the Captain Marvel/Marvel Boy story for another Hank Pym story but are solicits set in stone no matter what?

    Yeah, I shoulda realized that even if you change the solicit online, the printed form would still be wrong. Still, the story looks interesting...
    with Skrull-Pym expressing doubt that the plan will succeed.

    If the solicits are significantly changed, a book becomes returnable.

    It came out already. Wasn't as good as his previous commentaries and didn't even give that good of a preview for issue 6.
