Shoutout to the anon in the prime thread who called it

Wow. Every panel managed to have a stupid line or a plot point. Every page, every panel. That's gotta be some sort of record.

So that's why BB is going to be in space jail for space crimes in his solo book.

I like the last Inhuman plot line and the stuff he is doing with Terrigen so far. However it seems he is going for a more cartoony tone like he did for New Avengers, and I'm not sure how that will fly. I wasn't really in NA.

>>91669778
remember 5 years ago when that space monster design didn't show up every 6 pages

>>91669738
>Don't they technically all happen via alternate timelines?
correct. since Marvel is a multiverse (or Omniverse or whatever they want to call it) with infinite alternate universes, every possible course of events plays out somewhere in the multiverse. However, the comics will only follow one plotline, and we likely won't see the alternates, so it's as if they didn't happen.

>>91669738
wait Noh-Varr and Flint just switched places what happened

>>91670011
>Bigger than the Annihilation Wave

The Annihilation Wave was so big it almost wrecked the whole universe. Something bigger wouldn't just show up near Pluto without anyone noticing.

>>91670924
a multi-trillion strong army of chitauri was physic-defyingly beelined to the solar system by the first iteration, and they're just the shock troopers of the eternity war

>>91669670
We doing this every issue? Gotta say, I feel like this book is Bad Ewing. It's indulgent.

>>91670924
They just throw that out to make it a threat since they don't have the time to show them doing Annihilation wave scale things, not in the event and certainly not in this book. The Chitauri don't even have a talker/powerful leader like annihilus, so the only thing they have to put them over for the reader is that there is a lot of them.

The art is terrible.
I didn't read Meyer's Teen Titans, but I saw some scans and it looked way better than this crap.

>>91671110
Most of the issue wasn't done by Meyers

>>91669738
once a future timeline exceeds a nonspcific possibility ratio, it becomes capable of interacting with the present via time travel and visions and shit
if a specific possible future timeline exceeds an undefined degree of interacting with the present, it secures itself a place in the multiverse as an alternate timeline, such that it can keep interacting with the present even if it no longer a possible future state of the present
and in the meantime the present keeps on going on and on and on because the past doesn't exist and tomorrow never comes

>>91671110
I've read more than enough bad webcomics to recognize that this is still good art in the grand scheme of things

>>91669642

>>91671151

Still, it's only issue #2 and there are already 2 artists? I don't like that.

>>91669738

>>91670011
>Bigger than the Annihilation Wave
HE SAID THE THING

>>91671455
Meyers draws to slow for them to make the double ship deadline. All the ressurection books with the except of black bolt had their first two chapters come out in the same month. He should be fine for the once a month ones.

>>91671184
The traced spaceship and the copy-pasted flying aliens look pretty shitty.

I thought for the name that it was some new fresh indie tittle, then I read the description to know that is just another desperate try to attract people to Inhuman shit.

>>91671047
>He fell for the Ewing meme

>>91670011
Any writer that submits a script with the phrase "Bigger than the Annihilation Wave" for approval should be fired on the spot.

pity bump

>>91671648
Fuck off. I've been reading Ewing for longer than you have for definite, because I read 2000AD. Some of his earlier work there was a bit scattered, so I've not this idea he is a superb writer who can never go wrong. But sense of fun, complex plotting, character voices, continuity - he's good at all those and books like Ultimates, New/USAvengers and CoC have been good.

>>91670011
They might be bigger than the Annihilation wave but they are certainly weaker if the Inhumans took them out that easily.

>>91672354
It was just like a thousand Chitauri in Power Rangers in Space Galaxy Gliders and a big dumb space whale.

>>91672354
bigger than the annihilation wave =/= more competent than the annihilation wave

This a large scale version of the Conservation of Ninjutsu trope.

>>91672354
It's purely a numbers thing. The Annihilation Wave had Annihilus with the cosmic control rod, a giant Galactus-Gun capable of blowing up planets, a powerful armada, and individual members like Annihilus' commanders and Thanos around to deal with individual threats.

The Chitauri are just a massive army of cannon fodder. No real leaders, not that strong individually, sub-par tech for a space army, and the only "ships" they have are the giant space whales which don't seem to have any actual offensive capabilities beyond "ram head first into thing" and "bite." Literally the only reason they're a "threat" to anyone is purely because of how many of them there are.

>>91669872

>>91669884
They won't fuck right?

>>91670924
Technically the entirely of the annihilation wave would outnumber the rest of the universe via sheer biomass. The skies should be blotted out.

This book isn't very good because none of the Inhumans have interesting personalities beyond Maximus.

I liked this. Thanks OP

>>91670071
I mean, when they asked Ewing how he could sum up this entre story, he just said "He's his brother's keeper". It was pretty obvious. Still, best boy.

>>91670011
The Inhumans really don't give a shit about Earth, do they?

>>91669967
>>91669969
size matters not

>>91671678
it's probably just editorial mandate

>>91674953
Why would they?

>>91669738
I am confused by the inconsistency in the art. Page one looks badass; this page looks like it took about an hour.

>>91670011
>lack of intimacy
Oh please, his penis has been in your mouth. He could totally fool you if he wanted to.

>>91675408
I guess the better way to say it would be "the Inhumans don't give a shit about anyone not in the Royal Family." There are still a bunch of nuhumans on earth

>>91669659
How strong is Gorgon? He almost went toe on toe with collossus. Thought, he wouldnt be much more then 2 tons.

>>91675884

The husband/wife thing has been triggering me so fucking much since the past issue, for fucks sake they have been divorced for a while now, she even had her very own boytoy humping her at the slightest opportunity e ven in front of her so calles "husband".

>>91669840
>permission to die!

>>91675800
Because there was a fill-in artist for all the pages that Jonboy Meyers couldn't do. Jonboy is a great artist, but he's slow as fuck so he couldn't handle a double-shipped book. I think it's going to monthly starting next issue though so hopefully Jonboy won't need fill-ins anymore.

>>91675949
Nuhumans are like .01% inhuman. Just enough to get powers but it's not like they're thoroughbreds or anything. Most of them don't even pledge fealty to House Boltagon, so fuck 'em.

>>91678635
Well that whole issue has been circumvented thanks to the fact that Black Bolt isn't even in the comic.

>>91679055
The real fuck up is that thony silas tried to ape Jonboy's style instead of doing his own.

>>91679414
that's usually the way fill-in artists operate unless the writer deliberately wants a different art style

>>91679845

From the solicits, I've got this feeling that next week's issue of Ultimates will be Ewing going full meta again. And I can't wait.

>>91680704
I don't think so, but Flint definitely just pulled a Spider-man.

>>91674076

Let's hope not. Noh-Varr can have one of those NuHumans. Or both of them.

>>91676729

That's actually a skrull pretending to be Black Bolt.

>>91669642
Who's the artist? I like his style. It's kind of anime.

>>91684397
Jonboy Meyers

I'm glad Ewing wasted no time with the Maximus reveal, since everyone called it in Inhumans Prime.

>>91684352

And yet this is still the real Medusa. How is anyone supposed to respect her as Queen after that?

>>91684496
mind control, doesn't count

>>91684454
There's the fact that the new black bolt solo has him locked up in a space prison. That was a dead giveaway.

So is Max just going to be on team now? They can't turn around.

>>91684633
well he is a member of the royal family

>>91684633
>>91684665
And he's got a compelling personality and is a funny character, which is something this tripulation was mostly lacking.

This is all stupid and terrible and the Inhumans really should have just died by that small 'Bigger than the Annihilation Wave' force.

>>91684859
the dides they encountered are a very small part of the Bigger than the Annihilation Wave force

>>91684914
And they're just going to pass the rest of it by, just like that?

>>91684859
They threw a planet at it. And still they only managed to defeat a small part of them.

>>91671047
This. Why build up a lore for a timeline we know is obviously going to be averted in some way.

>>91684950
the rest of it was basically already at Earth

"Bigger than the Annihilation Wave" is just a hackish hyperbolic plot device from another writer, I wouldn't read into it too much here

>>91674076

That's definitely going to happen. The real question is, will she cheat on him?

>>91684979
presumably because the royals are going to interact with that timeline

How much I wish Black Bolt was involved on Royals. That man used to scare me years ago.

I chalk it up to everyone just saying it's that big because:

A) It's the biggest intergalactic horde they know of. On par with comparing it to 9-11

B) No one who's ever compared the two had ever seen the Annihilation wave in action. So they don't really know what they're saying, and they're just spitting out hyperbole to communicate that it's bad news.

It's still annoying, but the explanation makes it a little less so

>>91691970
After seeing how little they played into Secret Empire 0 today, it was just an excuse to make them seem threatening enough for all the big gun heroes to leave the planet. Without actually using panel time to build them up as a threat. Seems like bad move because it fall on deaf ears for anyone that hasn't read the event.

>>91692129
you'd think they would've taken advantage of both this and GOTG 2 by reprinting the Annihilation trades but nooooooooooooooo

>>91691970
I think that "bigger than the annihilation wave" is meant to represent the fact that they are pretty much endless. With Hyperion, Monica, quasar and Blue Marvel amongst the heavy hitters, it would take them just a few hours to decimate billions, maybe even more. They alone could beat almost any invasion. But this particular army is so large that they could spend days fighting in space without signs of stopping, until they get tired or blindsided. At first I thought Spencer was full of shit but I'm already mildly on board with the idea.

Now, the problem is...where the fuck did so many chitauri come from? The have always been space somalians. The annihilation wave was huge because it was from another universe, but unless they give a better explanation later on I don't buy the idea that the chitauri are so huge in numbers now. I can accept an army bigger than the annihilation wave to raise up the stakes, but it should be consistent with the established cosmology.

>>91670924
I headcanon it as "the size of what it was technically the original Annihilation wave from the Negative zone" since its most dangerous feature used to be that it picked up more and more invading forces from the systems it swarmed as it progressed
By the last months of the war the majority of it weren't bugs I think
