Wow did no one care about Marvel this week???

Thinking the same thing myself. Everyone must be numb from Siege 4 and Galacta; WTF? That is about the most stupid thing I've heard in a long time. Did you make that up JTR?

I did not make that up. Here's how it's advertised:

GALACTA DAUGHTER OF GALACTUS #1 - Because YOU demanded it with your votes from the Assistant-sized Assistant Editor Spectacular. Reprinting the original story and three previously only available online.


I just wonder who the mother is.
I'm thinking Crystal of the Inhumans. She'd boink anyone. She's the female equivalent of Clint Barton.

I have to honestly say that so far, I've genuinely enjoyed reading The Heroic Age: The Avengers written by Bendis and drawn by JRJR. My only complaint so far is the whole bit with Wonder Man acting the way he did. I've watched Avengers Next and I loved Future Imperfect so it was nice to see those touches thrown in. I'm not saying that Bendis is a great writer or forgiven for his almost decade worth of travesties against the Marvel 616 but, this a was good starting issue.

And yes, Galacta is real. I don't think she's a part of the regular 616 MU but, I could be wrong.

Galacta is supposed to be a stupid idea.

Also, I have no interest in an Ultimate "Hulk" that is little more than a bigger 616 Luke Cage.

I actually thought it was Ultimate Rage.

Galacta wasn't half bad, to be honest. Though it was weird and, when I had time to think about it, a little creepy too. I couldn't tell if it was genuinely part of 616 though - it mentioned stuff like Secret Invasion (she feeds on Skrull diseases that are making people sick), but at the same time, it may not matter since she seems to make it her mode of operation to be invisible any time she's donning her cosmic outfit.

It might not be a bad thing if not too many are reading it, though, since there's a moment in there I have a feeling would be pretty controversial if it was taken too seriously. The Ultimate Nullifier is mentioned (she wants to use it to cut out a cosmic tapeworm which later turns out to be a Galactus' future grandkid, which in turn is like what Galacta use to be in Galactus - meaning that Galactus is both her dad and her mom. Yeah...) and she comments about the time Mr. Fantastic used it to scare off Galactus, except she mentions it was sporting of dad not to tell Richards that the safety was still on.

That, the idea of Wolverine the Living Endless Buffet Planet, and using twitter posts to help drive the story forward make for a really strange comic.

Deadpool was better, however - he goes to Vegas to give a quick talking to a guy he sees on TV saying an offhand unpleasant comment about him (comparing him negatively to guys like Thor and Spider-Man in the new Heroic Age environment), then gets on the bad side of a Casino. Then he fights his old pal Weasel, who's currently operating as a Hero wearing a robot suit and calling himself "The House" (Because in Vegas, The House always wins). Basically, he's running a protective service sponsored by the Casinos. Deadpool offers him a deal to partner up with Weasel's extra suit and goes by the name of "Wildcard". Then Grizzly attacks a casino, Deadpool and Weasel respond, and while he's being bear hugged, Deadpool pulls him into the air to offer him a deal.

I can't imagine that deal being anything good in the long run.

Meh. Don't care. It ain't a "Hulk."

It's like Ultimate Sampson.

Meh, that's alright, but I still want my insane, people-eating, Freddie Prinze Jr.-raping (yes, Mr_JTR, I know he didn't really ), 8-foot-tall monster Hulk back.

The "civilized" Ultimate Hulk who ripped Ultimate Wolvie in half would also be acceptable.

It was a fun joke story intially but I think to continue is to milk it like Marvel Zombies 12

I'm not a fan either. Or of that "Nerd Hulk".

The Hulk who ripped Wolvie in half was ok, but it took too long between issues.
Also, someone re-colored that now famous image and used it on banners in my old town to promote a wrestling event. Kinda noticable that it was the same image. Whoever did the touch-ups could've at least done something about the mask other then trying to add flesh-tone to it. It was abnormal ears or something, plus, if I recall, the claws were still there.

Got Avengers #1 and Deadpool, both of which were very fun.

Really, can't say more than that. Though I'm worried that Secret Avengers with Nova is going to be an indication they are sidelining the cosmic DnA titles.

So is "Galacta" the child of Galactus and the Sentry????
Makes as much sense as most of the Sentry stuff.
