The Gods of Marvel

[colonel_green]

Previews for next week's Marvel titles are up; in addition to DC's Wonder Woman, this week sees Incredible Hercules, Thor: Defining Moments Giant-Size, and Dark Avengers: Ares all come out. Links and one scan from Thor under the cut (with some spoilers, of course).

Incredible Hercules preview #138

I posted some of this earlier, and though I didn't get the conversation around Typhon right, seems I totally called USAgent saying they aren't actually gods.

I thought this was where they might be going with Cho as the champion of "the new age". Fitting, in a way, since Typhon basically the last of the great beasts of the sort Herc was meant to deal with.

And over in Thor:



As I said earlier, he should get a big statue that says "he died for their stupidity".

Gah.

Damn it.

[cainofdreaming]

They better be preparing a feast for him in the halls of Valhalla, pronto.

Also, three guys against Balder? AKA he who Hel could not keep? How is that even a threat?

[colonel_green]

They had a hard time fighting Bill, a schmo with no powers or combat training at all.

[cainofdreaming]

... is there a divine Darwin award, or is that an oxymoron?

[jlbarnett]

well, if Loki's planning to take over, maybe he has his lackies use some missletoe in their weapons.

[cainofdreaming]

I don't think you quite got what I was going for. Last time Balder died he had to fight his way out of Hel. Against each and every person he'd killed in his mythically prolonged lifespan. Think armies here.

And he walked out.

Mistletoe or no mistletoe, three random thugs should not even register.

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO.

Goddammit, that's not even fair. Yes, mortal and god love, it's gonna end badly, but dammit, I was hoping for separated by old age here, not him getting offed barely into the next event. I like Bill.

[foxhack]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[majingojira]

Does anyone else think that Bill Son of Bills will ascend to godhood himself through some means?

Because otherwise--TRAGIC!

Does anyone else think that Bill Son of Bills will ascend to godhood himself through some means?
I hope so. BIIIIIIIILLLLLL ;_;

[lamashtar]

Or at least get his own constellation. Or join the Einjerhiar. Gonna have angry Okies otherwise.

[toby_wan_kenobi]

Die valiantly in battle, get picked up by Valkyries, boogie on down with Kelda.

Make it so, Number One.

[red_xera]

Hay! That's my icon! *does a happy dance*

[lamashtar]

Well, thank you! I love this one!

[red_xera]

You're welcome! I just got so happy that someone was using one of my icons.

[fierysea]

Please please please!

[sindra]

Ah dammit. Sure they kill off the most interesting everyday-guy in the Marvel universe!

Grrr....

[hybrid2]

And his hometown get crush by Asgard in Seige...

DRAMA!!!!

I hate drama.

[ninjapeps]

dammit. he'd better miraculously survive by the end of this arc.

[autumn_lily]

Sigh.
Marvel makes me sad...

[spankingfemme]

Noooo! Don't kill Billy! *pout* :(

[lieut_kettch]

Bill's place with the Einherjar is assured. I'm sure he'll turn up back in Asgard feasting in Valhalla and macking on Kelda.

And FYI, Keiichi Morisato? THIS is how a mortal wins an Aesir's heart.

[cmdr_zoom]

Eh, Keiichi seems to do all right just being himself. And without any 'help' from the sisters, for that matter.

[fifthie]

You know what kind of pissed me off, is Kelda's I SWEAR VENGEANCE moment just leads to her getting beat by Doom. I would have liked to see her kick the shit out of him or Loki, or show up at the right moment and stab one of them in the face, something.
