    The proper response is "Yeah? Well, I don't like him"

    The cover? That's nothing.

    Mar-Vell Skrull
    died.

    there is a fucking GALACTUS Skrull in the last two page spread. Jeezus, Bendis, isn't that going a bit overboard?

    So I caught the ending scans for SI 6, and man that looks awesome. Although I don't like how
    Bucky is drawn. He looks too much like normal Cap. All buff and stuff.

    And did anyone pick up Deadpool? I want to get it, but it's Daniel Way

    Well it will depend how and why it happens

    I don't think Noh-varr's been dreadfully out of character so far, he's still incredibly antagonistic although the Illuminati issue with him certainly left open the idea that they managed to plant a seed of doubt in his worldview.

    Galactus Skrull is awesome, but it bugs me for 3 reasons

    1. If the Skrulls can create a Galactus-level Skrull, taking over the Earth should've been a lot easier. Why all the Cloak & Dagger BS when you can drop a few thousand Skrullalatcus onto Earth to clean it up for you.

    2. Didn't Galactus eat the Skrull homeworld? If so, why don't the Skrulls have a major hard-on against him (it?) instead of Reed Richards?

    3. Way overboard. I truly feel sorry for the scrub superhero who has to match up against the Skrullalatcus in the big fight scene.

    But it would be dumb if you know a year after OMD (it's been a year right) someone already knows who he is
    Fuck that
    Let's see how this plays out

    I was gonna say it was his daughter. I'm sure he has one. Whoever it is they're trying to get him elected by making him seem like a bad ass for standing up to the threats. But they're not really up to much, they're clutsy and it doesn't seem they're ever going to develop into a threat so including him on that cover as one of Spider-Mans big, new villains seems kind of pointless in retrospect.

    It wasn't too bad, the way he writes Deadpool isn't as off putting as one would initially think as it still kind of fits him. The end of the book has a great history of Deadpool at the end.

    I'm concerned about Wonder Woman. The last arc was so deliciously awesome, and then Simone rolls into this new arc...and I was almost instantly bored. Not to mention the art this issue, was just a little bit off. Maybe I've just been spoiled by the beautiful art of Rachel and Terry Dodson, and also of Aaron Lopresti, who did a fantastic job last arc, but the art in today's issue just didn't impress me at all.

    It was really vague, but I guess they were trying to brush pretty fast.

    Anyways, my only real complaint is Deadpool's "hallucinations" that Way likes to do, but even they weren't overbearing. The Skrulls sounded kind of stupid sometimes (Oh shit! got repetitive), but yeah. The issue was average for me, could have been worse.

    FC Requiem. Anti-life equation

    summarize please?
    Starts out with Renee Montoya being cornered on the ship by the Spectre. He wants to kill her for all the shit she did when she was double-agenting for the order of the stone. Crispus offers her a moment of mercy by teleporting her to gotham to see Batwoman one last time, but the spear of destiny gets left behind in the process. She sees her getting the shit kicked out of her, but can't help, and Spectre teleports her again to atop Gotham PD near the batsignal. She's about to get executed when the Spirit of Mercy shows up, tells the Spectre to let her live, and then Spectre kind of punches her in the face. She says something about turning the other cheek and Spectre reverts to Crispus Allen, screaming out asking why she couldn't save his son. Back with the spear of destiny, they arrive on an island, and stab Vandal Savage with it, and oddly enough he seems okay with that. He turns into Cain apparently, with the darkseid symbol on his face, and asks where the Spectre is, whom he wants to murder in the face.

    Back in Gotham, some officers arrive at the top of the building, and are like what the fuck are you doing here and then they walk into the light and they're all affected by the anti-life equation. Spectre tries to knock them off the roof but can't touch them, just like he wouldn't hurt Libra. They start speaking it to Renee and the Spirit of Mercy ports her away again, to an alley. She finds Batwoman lying face down and goes over to her. It ends with Batwoman waking up, grabbing Montoya by the throat, and starting to recite the anti-life equation.
