Thanos Imperative #2 wordless preview

[sherkahn]

CosmicBookNews has unlettered art for the Thanos Imperative #2. Some spoilery stuff behind the cut.






speak their names with reverence:

Aegis, Lady of All Sorrows.
Tenebrous of the Darkness.
Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds.

On the same side! Oh shit!
The Annihilation comes full circle as these cosmic forces (and others) unite against the threat of the Cancerverse.

Rocket Racoon was right. When you get the cosmic players on board, all the stuff the small heroes do seems inconsequential.

They kinda died though? Are they back?
And there's another set of big feet in the upper right corner too. Wonder who that could be.

Anyway awesome visual.

[sherkahn]

That big foot in the background... I'm going to guess Exitar the Executioner of the Celestials.

[somniloquist]

If memory serves, the Celestials and Watchers are a rank below Galactus, Aegis and Tenebrous.

Is it wrong that I'm hearing the Monty Python Sousa-march-followed-by-fart-noise in my head?

[sherkahn]

In scans_daily, it's never just you.

[jcbaggee]

I have to believe that even Nova is going to pee himself a little when he comes across that.

[halloweenjack]

Well, technically his costume is a spacesuit, so hopefully it's got some recycling capability. Urine: that cool, refreshing drink.

But where is Galacta, pregnant, teenaged daughter of Galactus in all of this, HMMM?

[joasakura]

fighting off her cravings for "Sideburn, the Regenerating Planet"

[windiebird.livejournal.com]

So round, so manly, so irresistible. Seriously, that one tableau made me so glad to have read her mini-series.

[stig]

Galacta is pregnant.

...Scans, or I will never believe it happened.

[windiebird.livejournal.com]

I read it on Marvel Digital and searching around I couldn't find any scans but her whole mini-series ends with a bizarre twist where she's carrying a mini-Galact* creature inside of her as she was once in Galactus.

[joasakura]

I'm still trying to picture Galactus pregnant. I love it.

[ninjapeps]

if no one beats me to it, I'll post the relevant scans later today.

[da_reap]

We can but hope!

Man, cosmic Marvel stuff always looks so cool. Wish I had some money.

Saw "Death comes to the Cancer-verse" and thought this was about Funky Winkerbean. Oops.

[joasakura]

PFFT.

[okkult3000]

Death has a permanent residence there.

[mullon]

Is Cancerverse the actual name of a place?

[aulayan]

That's how it was referred to by fans, and eventually, DnA. I think the characters may refer to it as that as well (though I doubt Mar-Vell, Vaughn and the Revengers will refer to it as such).

[mullon]

So what's it's real name?

[ninjapeps]

there's no in-universe real name yet, I think.

[aulayan]

It's just the universe where Life won. Or there is no death. Or, as it's inhabitants probably call it. The Universe.

[ninjapeps]

holy shit. and this is just the second issue.

[amaniwolf]

This is so epic....and is why i love the cosmicverse so much. Not surprising the greater beings are finally getting involved, this threatens everything. I look forward to this issue and the rest of the series.

[sherkahn]

Can anyone see the Easter eggs the artist has put on here?

I can see.

1. The Battlestar Galactica -2003 model
The Scylla, colonial civilain transport

2. The Super Space Fortress SDS-1

3. A battle cruiser from the Fifth Element movie

4. The Space Trucker convoy ship (R.I.P. Dennis Hopper)

5. Tron Sars carrier (exploding)

6. Necromongers Troop carriers from Chronicles of Riddick

7. Star Wars blockade runner underneath the toe of the huge Celestial....
