: Well I got my copy of the issue 2 days ago and
: yesterday I got around to finally reading
: it; surprising for a BMB script - it took a
: good 8 minutes instead of 2!
:
: Of course the longer delay was more due to
: the art by McGuiness; such a kick seeing our
: boy back in print after such a while - Ed
: draws Nova Prime with aplomb although as
: others pointed out I don't like the
: "Karmen Rider" effects to the
: helmet and yes he does the cardinal error of
: missing the star off his back - I'll mention
: that to him at DA - its not rocket science
: to have good decent ref pics - I do that
: with all my artists for Nova619 and they get
: the details right so why can't Marvel
: Exclusives do it too!
:
: Now as for the story -well good points is
: that BMB does occasionally bother to read
: some past source material; he's got the
: Rich/Peter bromance/ Butch and Sundance
: rapport spot on. The tag line "Maybee
: we could split rent an apartment here"
: made me smile. Rich's powers were respected-
: and yes he held his own against Thanos
: exceptionally well which makes me of course
: wonder that of this was being
: written/plotted by someone eve more pro Nova
: Prime; its very likely Rich would have made
: it out alive - but I'm diverging here to the
: end of my thoughts.
:
: I agree with Thanosrules; Thanos himself is
: a bit off - but even so its nice to see BMB
: does again adhere to some plot events in
: TTI; of course that doesn't last long when
: Drax turns up - still alive but hey Thanos
: himself got resurrected in the Cancerverse
: himself - and as the Revengers themselves
: crop up next time - its clear that screwy
: mcguffin the wonky cosmic cube has a very
: pivitol role in BMB'S plot.
:
: So how is it going to boil down - what is
: Rich's final fate. Well I'm still going with
: the odds on favorite that Rich gets absorbed
: into Thanos - who inherited the Nova Force
: to his own power and that he uses that to
: get him, Quill and Drax outta dodge. By
: issues end with Peter being possessed by the
: Cube (can it do that?) its obvious to me at
: least that Rich won;t get out alive in the
: way we want him to; but lets say this does
: happen -remember Cyclops and Apocalypse -
: Alan Davis did a very memorable plot in
: Uncanny that had the 2 of them merged and
: its didn't last forever - so there's still
: some hope - if Quill's guilt trip does get
: him to seek out Thanos in the LSL comic and
: get him to reverse the mojo. Overall good
: comic - not great as a story but great for
: Rich; just to see him in action once more.
