"I feel like I spent an hour swimming in raw sewage." - Linkara

"I’m speechless. This is the single thing in this entire series that can still render me such, even on this, my third re-read of the book. Not that we’re going to run low on insanity from here on out. It’s just that this is easily the nadir." - Fletcher “Syrg” Arnett

This series makes me weep for humanity.

It's so bad it even makes me weep for the cockroaches who will replace humanity.

No real causative reason, it's just that bad.

At some point, laminated copies will be considered by the Morlocks to use as their nests; and they will grunt at one another and try to burn them out of disgust.

After the heat death of the universe, God will consider starting a new cosmos. Then God will remember this series, say "Nope," and take an eternal retirement.

"One of the half-dozen times I'm portrayed as a black guy, and they waste it on THAT?!"

It's a bad that goes beyond bad for sure. Maybe I should have spaced this and Holy Terror out a bit more.... oh well.

This series makes me weep for Marvel comics.

Out of all the thousands and thousands of alternate realities that got destroyed, this is one of the few they felt worth preserving in Battleworld? This is almost as bloody bad as Mark Millar & Terry Dodson’s "Trouble" miniseries.

There's a very sad thought indeed.

Speaking of which, still looking for a copy of Trouble... can't find that mini-series for some reason.

The "Marville" area of Battleworld is where Skottie Young's Giant-Size Little Marvel series takes place. It has nothing to do with this series.

Which is something that we should all be thankful for.

Ah, just using the name to mean 'a village of Marvel,' i.e. what a lot of us assumed this'd be.
