Did War of Kings #6 ship this week? My store never got it in.

Yep, and the King won.

I don't know if that's true or not?

Ish #6 kicked total arse. Especially BB frying Vulcan point blank.
I almost literally jumped outta my seat.

-The last page shows an ad for the next installment of War Of Kings with a pic of both Vulcan and BB. I assume it's a 1 shot.

Yet when I go to Marvels' website-there is nothing listed for War Of Kings anymore up through October.

I have no idea what's going on.

Adam Warlock hasn't even gotten Cosmo's message yet.
WTF?
I had expected AW to make a showing in WoK#6 of 6.

I hope Marvel didn't just end this story prematurely to concentrate on all the Dark Reign garbage.

So Exiles is only making it 6 issues? That's weak....

WOK #6 - avoid if you don't want it spoiled, it was good.


Vulcan attacks Black Bolt on the T-bomb ship. They fight, with Vulcan getting the upper hand because Black Bolt can't use is voice for fear of damaging the T-bomb before it's ready.

Meanwhile, the Inhumans discover that Black Bolt plans to sacrifice himself to detonate the T-bomb. (Only Karnak and Maximus knew.) Ronan is furious about the bomb (because it won't affect the Kree, thus leaving them behind.) Medusa is initially upset about BlackBolt but says if it is his plan, he must be doing the right thing. Crystal disagrees, and gets Lockjaw to teleport her to the ship.

On the Shi'ar homeworld, everything is in ruins froim the riots following Lilandra's assassination. Havok and Polaris think all is lost and are picked up by the Starjammer. Gladiator is alonein the throneroom; he picks up Lilandra's scepter and begins to walk out in despair. A group of civilians see him and plead for help; at first the call him Gladiator but someone says that because he has the sceptor he is the new Majestor and they begin to chant "Majestor"....

Vulcan has Black Bolt on the ropes. As he's about to finish him, Black Bolt cuts loose with his voice, seemingly killing Vulcan. Crystal teleports in and uses her elemental powers to change the Terrigan Crystals to regular crystals so that the T-bomb is just a regular bomb. She grabs Black Bolt and tels Lockjaw to teleport them out; as he starts, Vulcan (who is basically just muscle and bone) stirs and grabs Black Bolt, pulling him out of the teleport. The bomb blows, seemingly killing Black Bolt and Vulcan.


All in all, an interesting series with some serious implications. The idea of Gladiator leading the Shi'Ar is pretty awesome....

I didn't say which King won.

Actually, I'm still holding out for Elvis to win.

I was told that half of the Marvel comics that were supposed to ship out only made it to East Coast cities. The other cities that didn't get them are supposed to receive that half they missed later in the week. Apparently this included War of Kings #6 and Dark Reign Zodiac #2.

Actually, after that woman in Nebraska started to protest Marvel Comics, all states west of the Mississippi river banned Marvel comics. So, you'll never see those issues. Unless you aquire them from another source. The black market. Tho, if you're caught, you'll be tossed in prison and be forced to read nothing but old Richie Rich comic books, and they all have the last page torn out, so you never know how the story actually ends.

Sure he did. In some ways, he got it even before Cosmo sent it. Go back and read the two most recent issues of GotG. It might clear things up at least a little for you.

It couldn't have been just East Coast cities. I'm in the midwest, and got a copy of WoK and saw DRZ2 in the stands. Maybe my shop just got lucky. Or they fall under the East Coast category by some strange setting.

Two complaints about War of Kings 6.

One, Black Bolt's attack on Vulcan should have actually been an interesting word. "Nooo!!!" is just not up to par with some of Black Bolt's other finishers.

Two, and I know he'll be back, but I miss Black Bolt! I'm banking on him being in the Negative Zone, and on the next series revolving around Blastaar being a chief villain as Black Bolt attempts to return.

And that's the week that was.
