Greetings True Believers! I have some scans from the last issue of War of Kings for you. The war is ending and Black Bolt and Vulcan are battling each other for the fate of the universe. But while that is happening, there is the rise of another sovereign??

All Hail.....















Long may he reign! Will this actually happen? I wish that WoK would end with Ronan in charge of the Kree and Gladiator in charge of the Shi'ar. Then they can be space-warrior BFFs. Ronan should stay with Crystal and they should use a cosmic plot device (cube, gem, concept, etc) to bring Lilandra back to life and then her and Gladiator get hitched. Then Ronan and Gladiator travel to Earth to challenge Luke Cage and Danny Rand to the "Battle of the BFFs."

Nuts, I was just getting ready to post this.

I saw this coming for a while, but it was effectively carried off; the final image magnificently conveys Gladiator's situation.

And next week, we'll see the headlines about the scrappy kids getting their revenge by gunning down the Rich Kids.

Somehow, the artists involved have managed to make Gladiator look sensible, and not like a cartoon character. I love them a bit.

He seems to look better the more you screw up his mohawk.

It's mood-sensitive. It droops when he's sad. :(

I have absolutely no idea what went down in War of Kings, and I'm probably not going to read it in the near future, but I did hear that Rachel Summers was involved

what happened to her?

Not much. She exploded a guy's head in revenge.

From your keystrokes to Pelletier's ears, should we be so lucky.

Conan INNNN SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

Seriously though, I like the idea of Gladiator being in charge. He has the wisdom for the position even if he's a bit lacking on the will and some of the diplomatic skills. Then again, "I will throw you into orbit," might work well as a diplomatic threat.

Well, if anyone deserves to be stuck controlling half a galaxy-spanning empire, it's Mr. "I do whatever the crown says" guy.

I'm okay with him getting some character development. Gladiator exists to get punked out by something scarier than he is. Every time somebody cosmic starts a ruckus, Gladiator gets pummeled by it three pages in.

Now I'm probably interpreting this whole thing wrong, but is it just me or did Lilandra get fridged?

I think she got fridged unless War of Kings: Aftermath: The Resurrection: Charles Xavier is Pissed has been solicited. The whole storyline of War of Kings has been incomprehensibly jumbled, with characters being written OOC left and right.

Doubtful.

The whole point of the Lilandra story was really build up to her being the key to ending the war. Then take her off the stage.

Not everytime a woman dies in comics is it a fridging. Sometimes it's actual story.

Works for me.

But then I'd also want Ronan, Kl'lrt and Gladiator to go hang aorund with each other.


Because they're all awesome.
