I guess they're just glossing over the fact that Worldmind shouldn't really be there. Not that it really matters.

>>92054889
>Dick was trapped there for an eternity
God, I hope this isn't the case. That's downright horrific.

I guess they're not gonna explain why it's not Ko-Rel anymore either.

>>92054962
Thanis is tryant from resident evil.

Don't get why there's a Thanos here, but it was still amazing and depressing read.
I hope Rich will survive final issue.

Wait, wasn't the whole point that Death followed Thanos into the world, and was able to make the Many-Angled Ones retreat and all the lesser entities died properly?

>>92055078
Yes. Nobody at Marvel has read Thanos Imperative, though. They just know it has spooky tentacles

>>92055087
We Majora's Mask now?

>>92055078
Yes, but then Bendis happened. You know, a story so bad it had to explained by a handbook - Many-Angled Ones aren't there anymore, but Cancerverse was so corrupted by them Death died in it again, leaving it with corrupted Avengers and nothing every dying, except for Mar-Vell since he was killed by Death herself. This builds on this crap into something good.

>>92055063
Thank the gods.

>>92054793
>one of the few genuinly good Marvel books
>canned at 7 issues

Maybe if faggots didn't meme into the idea that everything Marvel does is shit then maybe more people would have read this and it wouldn't be getting canned?

Can you do Champions next? I want to see how bad it is.

>>92055152
>blaming the fans
maybe if Marvel stepped their game up a bunch of shitposters word wouldnt matter

Little how confused how Rich was still Nova if he didn't have any Nova Force when he left.
His helmet doesn't do anything.
Also, his body's supposed to shut down without the Nova Force since he's basically addicted to it, but I guess you can handwave that with Cancerverse

>>92055152
The thing is that Marvel didn't advertise this book at all, and people are more interested in reading Amazing Spider-Manchild every two weeks than anything else.

>>92055243
>Little how confused how Rich was still Nova if he didn't have any Nova Force when he left.
Cancerforce

Why didn't you buy this, /co/? You basically told Marvel that no one is interested in true Cosmic and would rather read Redditors of the Memealy.

>>92054928
>Scarlet Witch

her soul, her very essence was literally eaten by Mar-vell Jesus didn't ANYONE in Marvel read Thanos Imperative?

The whales are absolutely part of the problem, though. They only buy/read "important" books and stuff that never ends like ASM.

The other major issue is visibility and accessibility. If digital copies were a buck, you bet your ass sales would more than double. There are people in these very threads mourning the death of this book who didn't buy it because the price per page was too fucking high.

Marvel heavily, heavily overshipped the first issue to get retailers to sell it to people

>>92055760
That's hot.

>>92055834
The fuck are you talking about?

>>92055021
We never got to see Thanos in the Cancerverse did we? But he should have been a dead statue if the Cancerverse's Death of Captain Marvel's events went the same as 616's up to a point.

>>92055078
I wish people would have bothered to read Thanos Imperative. That said Loveness said he did research so I guess he probably just skimmed the book or chose to ignore stuff on purpose.

>>92055139
>Yes, but then Bendis happened.

Where the fuck did that happen?

isn't the cancer verse a big place? he could have just kept running away and hiding. like the world's longest hide and seek game.

Here's the retcon in the guide that one anon talked about. Last few paragraphs.
>>92056796
>We never got to see Thanos in the Cancerverse did we? But he should have been a dead statue if the Cancerverse's Death of Captain Marvel's events went the same as 616's up to a point.
No, we never saw the cancerverse version of Thanos. Just his destroyed ship.
And we have no idea how events played out in that universe. They easily could have fixed him during their many angled transition. After all, nothing dies.
>>92055078
See, I've sort of come to accept what happened. Death came to the cancerverse and killed Mar-Vell, yes. But she didn't stick around. She had to go back to her own universe, and she was shown abandoning Thanos there.
Still not sure why the universe didn't die, but I guess with Death gone it stabilized itself.

>>92056565
they overshipped every book that month though

>>92056054
That's the difference between a writer who shows respect for the characters he uses, and a writer who just likes pissing people off because he knows he can get away with it.

>>92055410
I'm a filthy tradewaiter

>>92056723
>world mind became a crazy evil hivemind and richard joined him
a steamy moist dump

>>92057228
pretty sure Rich didn't join willingly

How does Cancerverse even exist?
Didnt EVERYTHING DIE during the Incursion Saga and is being created/recreated by Reed Richards?

I doubt he'd be like "You know what's Hot? LIFE. ENDLESS, CANCEROUS LIFE.Let's make one universe like that just for shits and giggles, son."

"O..Okay, dad."

Shouldnt all this atemporal, multiversal shit just not exist, and Rich, just dissapear into peaceful non existance?

>>92057044
The rumour was that they 100% overshipped it, meaning that those #1 numbers were absolute horseshit

>>92055063
Fuck worldmind, how many times has it fucked rich over in comparison

>>92055188
There already is a storytime, and it's a tremendous fuckup. It took OP like 30 comments to figure out how to screencap properly.

>>92057612
they probably needed to keep/recreate the cancerverse because recreating 616 relied on its existence since its intwined into continuity.

>>92055018
W-world Mind...
;_;

>>92057228
He didn't willingly join and this isn't the first time Worldmind goes crazy.

>>92055247
Not only that but this comic wasn't on Marvel Unlimited from what I'm hearing.

>>92059096
he went through like 15 years of straight up intergalactic war and how long of infinite death in the cancerverse there should be no way that sam beats him and saves him but now its gotta happen

We get a glimpse of Thanos statue, It appears only in one panel in the background.
It was never mentioned so was easy to pass, anyway is a great detail.

>>92059317
Thanks, never actually noticed that.

Still, I don't think it's a huge deal. They easily could've fixed him/woken him up off panel. It's comic books

>>92055047
Worldmind is now Marvel Starro?

>>92054962
the idea of a Cancerverse Thanos is... weirdly unsettling.

Too good for the world.

Good riddance. Fuck Cancerkid.

>>92056908
So basically Thanos Imperative never accomplished anything aside from keeping Rich out of books for a few years. Fuck Marvel.

>>92054928
Cancer Carol is cute.

He should've bargained better.

>>92055834

>>92060831
The Marvel legends have really been knocking it out of the park lately.

>>92056834
I'm guessing that it would be where anon said, in the handbook.

>>92060566
They closed the fault and saved 616, which was the whole point of Thanos Imperative. The only thing they didn't accomplish was trapping Thanos there, which wasn't even part of the plan until he started raging about. Whether or not the cancerverse got destroyed didn't really matter as long as it no longer posed a threat to 616.

>>92055477
See:
>>92056908

So is no one address how this completely contradicts Nova Civil War II? In there we could see Richard was fine and dandy before returning from the cancerverse.

>>92059317
Post sw.

Besides it's obvious marvel is somewhat loose canon these days.

>>92056908
Where did the last part with Thanos banishing Elders of the Univers, Stranger, Avengers and Guardians to Cancerverse take place?

>>92061700
I always got the vibe that Quill was planning on making sure Thanos would stay there all along.
Even though killing everyone in there permanently wasn't the main point, permanently ending all life there and the universe's immanent Erasure were pretty big deals.

F

Damn, this issue was really, really good, both in writing and art.

I hate this world. I hope both authors work together in something new soon.

>>92061778
I don't think that was really Richard. It was more of a shadow of him. It was kind of weird, and that story already ignored continuity like Richard's helmet.

>>92060731
Same, fuck this shit. I'd rather Rich have stayed dead then Marvel shit on him like this just to prop up its SJW replacement.

This book showed more respect for Richard than anyone at Marvel has in years you faggot

>>92062082
I don't like how the writers don't know Jack shit about Rich, but leaving him dead and saying "lol he died" once every few months is not a good alternative

>>92054987
>Rich became The Chosen Undead

>>92062126
Keep telling yourself that shill. It's not going to save your meme-book.

>>92062281
You're being an idiot. If Marvel sees that sales for a book featuring Richard Rider do badly, they'll be in no rush to give him another title anytime soon.

You're being an idiot just because there's a character you don't like in the book, and it's doing more harm than good.

>>92062514
The reason the book's failed is 100% because of NINO and has nothing to do with Rich. NINO is sales poison and destroys every book he's on.

>>92055077
Damn, Sam. You're the best of the Marvel Legacy trio.

>>92063007
Literally all of Sam's other volumes have sold better than this series, so there's no excuse that a book starring both of them should have done worse.

>>92057780
Forced him to become Nova Prime, forced itself on him and then the whole thing with it going crazy with Ego.

Also tried to get Ko-Rel to kill him while he was under the Phalanx control

>>92059256
He most likely won't beat him but make him snap our of it.

Also 15 years of intergalactic war?

If they want any sort of mild success with a Nova title, they should let Rich go solo.

I'm using that as an example for how Sam being on a book is bad for sales. Look at New Warriors and ANAD Avengers too. Three out of three team books he's been on have done terrible.
Champions and ANAD Avengers were supposed to be flagships, but both sunk to 40k. Do you not see a pattern here?

>>92071041
I haven't picked up a comic in years, brother. Rarely come here anymore.

I read the first volume. Had its good parts. Why does the aesthetic seem child-like? And I don't mean the actual parts involving the child character. Why does Richard look so different from pre-death too?

>>92071219
Book is mainly intended for younger audiences since that who Sam was mostly targeted at.
Rich can change his outfit to whatever he feels like, so I guess he just wanted a change.

At least Sam's finally going to crush some Muslim pussy in "Champions".
