Was Thanos Slade dad or Superdad... dad?
>>88578306
She still has that? Meh. Never fan of that story.

>>88578306
they retconned it that it ran out. Yeah that's what they're going for even though fucking Time Displaced Angel still has his Firewings.

It was announced like year and a half ago, so the script has no excuse to be mediocre. Let's see..

>>88578862
Sadly, that's the only good thing here. Story is really generic, plus it's set in past so who gives a fuck.

>>88578331
I think O5 Angel and Ronan are the only ones to have kept the upgrade. And even then, O5 Angel is considerably weaker than before.

>>88578387
Leaving aside this retcon of Nebula being part of Gamora's backstory, which I don't mind. Why is Nebula already bald with cyborg implants? That didn't happen until the 90s. Before that she had long hair.

>>88578966
Yep, Ronan still has his. I'm not sure did he appear anywhere since Black Vortex.
>>88578991
You know exactly why.

It's pretty weird to me that a cosmic empire still relies on something as antiquated as a hereditary monarchy to select rulers.

>>88579045
>did he appear anywhere since Black Vortex.
He hasn't yet, but Ewing confirmed he will show up in Royals. He's guarding the ruins of Hala as a form of penance for failing to protect it. When he sees his Ex-wife Crystal and the other Inhumans show up he goes ballistic and attacks him with his new power.

this was really good, thanks OP

>>88579102
They're bad guys, no democracy for them.
>>88579135

>>88579193
>They're bad guys, no democracy for them.
I didn't say anything about democracy. China does fine without a democracy.

>>88579193
They actually specifically go to Hala searching for the secrets of the Terrigen Mists.

>>88578458
And then she got the Captain Marvel movie.

>>88578319
man this character will never be succesful, specially not among women.

I just think that girls don't really like super hero comics, I think that the ones that do are a rare thing, not this almost 50/50 bullshit that the media keeps pushing.

I mean, I'm not against girls being into comics but at this point seeing all these female titles failling and failling and the ones that actually are kind of succesful usually have a large fanbase of virgin waifu fags like Gwenpool or Ms Marvel

>>88578865
this feels so bland, most Marvel space shit always feels so bland and ''star trek'' like, that's why it keeps failling

>>88578441
>But I've never even heard of the Zen-Whoberis
This is foreshadowing that Thanos lied and the Badoon didn't kill her people, right? Because as classic cosmic fans should know, they were actually killed by the Universal Church of Truth.

>>88579308
Wacky slice of life or wannabe Red Sonja. Two extremes, I'm afraid.
>>88579364
Either that or retconing. We'll have to wait and see.

>>88579364
>>88579382
To be fair, Adam retconned the Church of Universal Truth out of existence when he prevented himself from becoming the Magus. To prevent a time paradox, her people were wiped out by someone else.

And then they showed up after, making it weird.

>>88578334
Length of time does not fix a bad idea, anon.

>>88578543
Doomed planet, desperate scientists?

>>88578897
It's looking good enough for me to pick up the trade at least. Gamora doesn't have many stories to her name, most of the time she's joined at the hip either with Warlock and his merry band or Quill and his Guardians. So if this turns out just "okay" with nice art that'll do for me.

I imagine it'll turn out to be a stealth mini anyway.

>>88578991
Synergy of course. If you're not autistic enough to throw a tantrum about it, it's probably best handwaved away by the recent rebirth of the universe.

This wasn't anything special, but it wasn't bad. The art's enough to keep me reading.

>>88578991
The same reason why Star-Lord said he had left Earth as a kid on Star-Lord solo.

The only difference is that Zdarsky was mature enough to fix that mistake a few months before publication and Perlman never fixed hers on at least a year.

>>88578342
I never would have given an overtly misogynistic race of villains a second thought five years ago but now anytime I see shit like this it feels forced. Doesn't help that every single panel rubs in how much they hate women

Can anyone do Star-Lord? It's out today right?

>>88579667
>tfw I think of Man of Murder edit

>>88579767
That's been canon for the Badoon for years, though.

>>88579767
From what I remember from my wiki adventures, Badoon males and females hate each other. And unless I'm wrong, males are ruled by king while females are ruled by queen.
Or it was like that when I read, maybe it changed over time.

>>88579767
The Badoons were always like this.

Fuck, what's with all the newfags on /co/ in the last 2 years?

>>88578991
OOGA CHAKA OOGA OOGA

>>88578331
Yeah, but they ran out from overuse. I've only seen Angel use his cosmic wings for anything besides regular flying (which probably doesn't drain any since that's just his regular power) once.

>>88578319
>Baddoon

>>88578342
>>88578516
oh, a tradition harem. don't see that very often anymore.

>>88581268
>What do you think DC is doing with Rebirth?
Writing good stories that respect their characters. Writing stories for people who actually read comics and who have been loyal customers for years. Writing satisfying arcs that actually do things and don't clog their books with endless events.

Do you want me to continue?

>>88578441

The art is very good.

>>88578490

>dat dere Bayeux tapestry

kek

>>88581629
The same artist who did that Obi-wan and Anakin series, correct?

>>88578897

Eh, I quite like it. I'm sure it'll be short, but I can do with a fun short arc with good art and bitchy Thanos.

>>88578991
Almost no one cares about Nebula before now.

>>88578459
ouch

>>88578789
I like seeing him unsettled

>>88578631
did thanos just walk in just to tell them to stop you telling me the mad titan"oops i dropped the gauntlet" thanos doesnt have some type of intercom hooked up

>>88581359
Cool. Still a bunch of retcons there, though.

>>88578789
nothing screams mad titan like chilling on a sofa playing chess a HUMAN game

>>88578789
>It looks like Thanos still cares about Gamora

Good

>He treats Nebula like shit
I dunno why he even bothers with her other than muh movie synergy but good.

I really hate that her character model in Contest of Champions uses the white and red McNiven armor.

But this design is great.

>>88581268
Fuck off shill. Rebirth is one of the single biggest breaths of fresh air the industry has ever seen. They're combining top tier talent with best-in-class editors and the end result is high selling, low cost, genre-defining masterpieces for everyone from casual to hardcore, upper class to lower class, far-right to centrist, and everyone in between.

If every comic publisher was even a quarter as good as DC Rebirth has been, then the comics industry would start to rival its contemporary media sin profitability and popularity. Basically, Marvel and all these Literally Whos like "image" and "IDW" are dragging everyone else down while DC is the only one doing anything to keep the industry a float.

Remember that the next time you think to open your shill mouth and try to imply that Rebirth is anything less than a revelatory experience.

Seriously, when will being a Marvel shill become a bannable offense? All they do is shitpost up and down the board with their blatant bait. I'm fucking sick of the fact that anytime anyone remotely criticizes Marvel, the shills start pouring in to go "b-b-but DC" and spew nothing short of blatant libel. It's like they WANT the comics industry to fail.

>>88578897
Meh it looked interesting enough for me to follow.

>>88581658
Yes.

>>88582093
Have sex.

>>88582266
Doesn't Thanos draw his ancestry from Earth? Hell, Thanos celebrated Christmas at least once.

>>88582266
Look at the chess board. It's clearly some Titan variant of chess.

>>88582303
>calls another nigga shill
>proceeds to shill

>>88579364
I hope it doesn't get retconned to Thanos killing her family or something stupid.

Perlman did claim she read Infinity Watch and all of the GotG volumes so you might be on to something there.

>>88582353
No.

>>88582266
Are you a newb? Thanos is cultured and knowledgeable about the universe and multiple planets and their cultures.

He staged a Christmas celebration for Gamora and gave her a doll (Nebula references that) just to please Gamora.

>>88582360
Yes, people forget, Thanos is an Eternal, his father Mentor was actuall born on Earth but he and a bunch of other Eternals moved to Titan.

>>88578748
>Flark
Hell yeah

>>88582502
im just uncultured on thanos I know he's knowledgeable on these things but isnt this the same guy obsessed with death and controlling it him just sitting around and having fun seems weird to me atleast

the fact that darkseid wants to control life but would never be seen doing this compared to thanos who want death in his hand just chillin is pretty strange

>>88578282
Okay writing and great art

I can stick around for this desu, better than half of big two books already

>>88580376
>>88581196
Slavish continuity is appreciated, but not the sole metric of good storytelling. If you'd read comics longer than a few years you'd know this.

>>88582376
It's copypasta, man.

>>88582600
>him just sitting around and having fun seems weird to me
Even evil people like to just sit back and relax sometimes. Starlin, the definitive Thanos writer, had him mention how he likes to drink wine and have a nice steak every now and then. Not because he needs food for sustenance (he gets his nutrients from absorbing ambient cosmic energies), but just because sometimes you need a good meal and a stiff drink.

>>88582815
You mean half of Marvel's books. Even Justice League, DC Rebirth's worst book, is infinitely better than this trash.

Fishnets are superior. I like the combo in the movie.

>>88586094
Honestly even a decent Gamora mini is very welcome. That trade that came out recently of her classic stuff is embarrassingly lacking in material that actually focuses on Gamora, it's really just a Warlock/Magus/Thanos trade featuring her as a supporting character.

Anyone know how many issues this will be?

I really wanna see Checchetto move on to do a Thor ongoing after the Unworthy mini is done and he has the Ultimate hammer.

>>88586601
I'm expecting it to be a stealth mini but I suppose anything is possible.

>>88578306
But could she be Uchiha Madara? And I'm not talking about...

>>88578416
I feel like I would be okay with her feeling pleasure here? That's a bit dreary. I like my murderheroes liking their murder.

>>88581156
What I would give for some Nemesis-quality cosmic over this. It just wasn't very interesting. It's aiming big conceptually, but not selling it.

>>88586953
I feel like I can really see where this plot is going, too? Hopefully it'll surprise me. Also, has Ubliex appeared before or is an oubliette planet named Ubliex from vintage Marvel cosmic?

>>88578897
Thank you, anon.
The story was meh. Not bad, but not especially good or exciting.
Too bad, because Checchetto's art is awesome.
Too bad also that they didn't exploit his talent for cheesecake. Wouldn't have improved the story but at least the visuals would have been even greater.

A much better explanation for why she is hairless in this prequel.

>>88582572

Should've been "D'ast Lizards" though for full authenticity.

>>88578865
Decent writing. Great art. I'll stick around.

>>88578319
Reminder that Gamora actually originated from a future timeline where the Universal Church of Truth went on a genocidal spree over the universe including the Zen-whoberi, but that never happened because of the events of Starling's first Warlock series where she was first introduced, so there are Zen-whoberis in our 616 universe
This mini is basically rewriting everything about Gamora's origin as we knew it without bothering to actually retcon it

>Badoon
Why even change this? Her link to Adam Warlock is much more interesting and nuanced if it's linked to him, instead of generic evil lizard guys.

>>88589700
Flashback to this when? Thanos can get Gamora a doll, and Nebula gets a pair of socks. Hilarity ensues

>>88578897
You know, for me it was ultimately not bad. Lotta retcons, but as some already said, that is sort of in keeping with how Adam Warlock erased the UCT future timeline. I liked the art, I liked Thanos' portrayal, and I kind of chuckled a couple times at Nebula being the redheaded stepchild of the family.

>>88589746
>I think Starlin actually used the Badoon retcon first
Do you know what issue?

So.... is this a retcon mess of lazy bullshit, or a genius use of existing retcons to clarify what the retconned history must actually now be?
