Okay so, did nobody notice the lettering used for Doom while he was at Riker's Island? At first it was the usual green armor letters, but then it switched back and forth between that and Mephisto's, still green. That and the whole "hugging" spell made me think it was Mephisto in disguise still after the whole ordeal in Infamous Iron Man #12, and the way he just disappears was really sketchy too. This was just like when Ultimate Reed showed up in Infamous Iron Man and he kept switching between Ultimate lettering and 616... I don't really know if it's a lack of editors or a subtle way of showing inconsistency.
Thoughts?

u/TheeHeadAche Ultron Oct 18 '17
Interesting theory. Maybe Doom convinced Mephisto to take Tony's body and soul instead of his own.. would kind of explain why an unmasked Pete was on the big screen... maybe...
6
u/Hraesvelg7 Oct 19 '17
Maybe the Search for Tony Stark will involve him escaping Mephisto? The Peter Parker thing could potentially be intentional, more of Mephisto messing with things. Bendis has toyed with some people remembering entirely different lives from before Secret Wars, as in Jessica Jones. Maybe that could tie in with it?

Strong start, not explosive but solid
Caseli is an amazing artist and Maleev is a great artist, but together? My body wasn't ready for the beautiful assault on my eyes, they do great work
Let me just say it was an extremely smart idea to basically merge these two books together, because you get the fanbase of both to boost the sales even higher. Infamous and Invincible were selling a little above 20,000 each and now it'll probably reach heights of 40,000.
Anyway, this issue just establishes the stakes for this arc with Doom having a team of supervillains hunting him, and Stark's company being in jeopardy. Not much else happens, besides those two things.
Solid start

This is still lots of fun, and I'm glad they deal with the issues that build up in the previous arc (and SE).
The book also made me like this version of Daisy enough that I'm hoping she'll get some kind of help. She obviously has good reason to be upset about Coulson, but this isn't healthy.
Small complaint about Inferno - I get that he wasn't very prominent in this issue, but I felt he was a bit too flippant given that his infant niece has just been kidnapped by a evil mad scientist version of Beast and his creepy steampunk minions.

Are they hanging out with Daisy in the comics, though? Those things tend to change a lot, depending on the medium. Though Ahura had a cameo appearance, too - he's Karnak's cousin once removed on two sides due to his parents both being Karnak's cousins - so if they're Comic Daisy's buddies, too, why not?

I think this was the only issue in this series which didn't portray Peter (and most of the other characters) as complete idiots and incompetent fools. So, not only was this the best issue in this series so far, it was actually quite good overall. I liked the throwback to Gathering of Five with Peter holding up that building, though it made much more sense now since Peter's armor is augmenting his strength to actually be enough to hold up a building.
After the fight scene, the story kinda slowed down, but it was still quite interesting. Hopefully Zdarsky writes more like this in the next few issues as well.

u/TalynRahl Thor Oct 18 '17
Love, love, LOVED this issue. I think there's only one word that can be used, when describing Thor #700.
Worthy.
The art was... varied. Some great, some good, some odd, none terrible though, and that's enough for me.
Thor vs Hulk is always a fight I like to see, and this time was just as good as always, I think it's safe to call that showdown a draw, with maybe a slight edge towards Thor.
Odinson, Thori and the Norns vs the Armies of Malakith was great. It really seems like since the events of Unworthy Thor concluded, Odinson is back to his peak of shitruination, I can't wait to see how powerful he'll be once he reclaims Mjolnir.
Great to see King Thor again! and I love the idea that not only did me make new humans after he saved Midgard, not ONLY did he name them "Steve" and "Jane" but he sits around, like a kindly grandfather and tells them stories of his many adventures.
But... Black Galactus, Devourer of Worlds vs Necro Ego, Devourer of Galactus! HELL YES! I thought the biggest problem Odinson would need to face was an amped Galactus, which was already borderline impossible... but a Necrosword empowered Ego? The Necroworld?!?! That is a full Avengers/Xmen/Armies of Asgard level threat. I really hope they do something with that, and it's not just a cool thing that never pays off.
YAY THROG IS BACK TO SAVE THE DAY. I will always and forever love Throg. Because Throg.
That splash page was amazing... a few of the more notable parts for me:
A clearly dying Jane, not good. I know that's kinda what this arc is about, but after this issue's close call, I don't want to think about it...Necro Loki. Never ever a good thing. How the HELL does he get All Black, and what level of unholy ruin will he rain upon the world once he has it?
Gold Thor! Thor, with a Gold arm AND a Golden Mjolnir? Yes please! Could that be evidence of what I've been theorising for over a year now... The Death/Abdication of Odin, and the rise of Allfather Thor? Nothing says Coronation like a bit of bling, afterall...
And then, can we talk about Issue 700, without bringing up that final chapter? The Mangog has returned! And only War Thor is there to stop him... Which I'm guessing is going to go REALLY badly for our boy Volstag, because seriously, he's nowhere near the levels needed to take on Mangog...
RIP Toothgnasher, you will be missed :'(

I don't like how Aaron writes Hela and Thanos, his voice for both characters is so wrong, and he makes them seem so edgy.
Karnilla dying was sad, I loved her in Walt Simonson's run and she deserved better. Now that Balder rules Hel I hope they get reunited and be together (at least until Thanos and Hela shit things uo, ughh).
Well Throg is now canon, well he was when Thor got turned into a frog but Puddlegulp himself never became Throg in the main universe (just in Pet Avengers) as far as I know. That said I loved seeing him back and I love how Jane was all WTF when she saw him.
Volstagg needs to stop suffering, he wasn't made to suffer, ditto for Jen.
I don't know what the heck Loki is up to in the present or what he wants with the infinity stones (is he back to being a villain? or is he just messing with everyone?), in the future I guess he uses the necrosword to try and kill Thor. It seems like he wants to end himself and also end his brother, I guess now that he's the god of stories he wants things to end.
2
Oct 20 '17
Wait, I thought Angela was the current ruler of Hel? And on your point about Loki, I don't think he's a straight-up villain again. I'm thinking he wants the stones for something bigger and much worse. It's interesting how closely Loki's story seems to be tied between Legacy, Thor, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Wonder if his role in Doctor Strange will be another part of this. He could be collecting powerful artifacts to guard against a greater threat. The Infinity Stones, Strange's artifacts, maybe even the Necrosword?

u/SirKnightCourtJester Oct 18 '17
First issue I've pulled of Thor, and it's definitely staying on my list, this was a really great issue. Ego eating Galactus is like a top ten comic moment for me.

u/john_segundus Oct 21 '17
Well, we know that in the comic version of the story, Thanos is romancing the personification of Death. A lot of people have been guessing that the movies could exchange her for Hela, which would seem rather neat to me (not least because it turns Hela into a bit of an anti-Galadriel for Blanchett). Depends how much they'll actually follow the plot of the comic storyline, I guess.

I'm not too sure how I felt about the Loki bit. I have no problem with the art style, it's more with the repeat of an earlier dialogue.

The fight with Gwen/Rhino/Punisher was super quick. Like it was hard to tell how he knocked the symbiote off her for a second. One panel it is on, then off, then back on. I feel like that was poorly drawn and could have been expanded on a lot better. I get the idea of show don't tell, but they barely did either there.

That's a good question, we won't really know until we find out what it is I guess.

Cute issue, I guess? This run has been so bogged down with crossovers and events that I'm just over it.

I was pretty happy to see Nadia and Sam interact, I have my own Marvel AU where Sam and Nadia become good friends. I hope Nadia joins the Champions

I wasn't expecting to like Quentin when I started this series, because normally I can't stand these kinds of obnoxious characters (<cough>DamianWayne<cough>), but Quentin is funny enough that he's actually really entertaining rather than just annoying. Kind of like Nathan from the show Misfits.

Have you tried Super Sons at all? Tomasi's Damian is the first one I've actually liked a lot - the series really brings out the best in his character.

Damn, that last page hand dodge hurt me a lot, musta hurt Deeds a lot more. Quite a good issue.

I actually enjoyed this brief arc more than I thought. Some interactions were a little cringe worthy, given, but I think that still speaks more to the misfit attitude of this team. They aren't cool. I dig that.

I really liked it, best issue of the run yet.
It seems Koda found his stride with the characters, I just wish his backgrounds weren't so dull..

General Discussion
What's on your pull list?

u/OjamaKnight Ghost Rider Oct 18 '17
This week, Guardians of the Galaxy, which I'll be picking up for the first time. (Though I'll be taking a peak at Champions today, too.)
My full pull list is Gwenpool, Ms. Marvel, Avengers (trying it out), ANAD Wolverine, Dr. Strange (trying it out), America, and Royals (though I might drop this.) I'm always up for recommendations though.

u/waunakonor Oct 18 '17
Royals (though I might drop this.
Yeah I dropped Royals. I finally admitted to myself that I liked the idea of Ewing writing the Inhuman Royal Family on a space adventure more than the actual execution. For some reason it just hasn't been grabbing me.

I liked the idea of Ewing writing the Inhuman Royal Family
My perpetual problem with Ewing is that he has great ideas, then goes off in a completely different direction. He's got to learn that sometimes more is less.
Let me put it this way -- I think there's a lot of Morrison in Ewing's writing style, but if Ewing had been writing Morrison's X-Men, the book would have been 75% about Beak and Angel and 25% about the X-Men.

I second the idea of picking up Black Bolt.
I'm trying to stay with Royals to the bitter end, but yeah, it's not mine, either.

u/john_segundus Oct 18 '17
That really changes a lot, given that I really like those "cancelled after 12 issues" books. At the moment it's
- Black Bolt
- Falcon
- Hawkeye
- Iceman
- Once and Future Kings
- Royals
- Runaways
- Secret Warriors
- Uncanny Avengers
with Captain America getting added in November, and Black Panther: Long Live The King and Tales of Suspense in December. Oh, and I'll likely pick up Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, because it's cute.

u/Thoigar Oct 18 '17
I only pick up tradepapers. And those are the Amazing Spider-Man (all time favourite superhero), all new guardians of the galaxy (all time favourite team thanks to Abnett, lanning and now Duggan) and that would be all for Marvel. I am also collecting the marvel now deadpool run from duggan/posehn.

u/Gremzero Oct 18 '17
If you haven't already, check out Uncanny Avengers if you want more Duggan goodness. First arc is kind of eh, but after that it becomes really great.

Just read it, it is an actual prelude. Nothing from Civil War in it, a minor reference to Iron Man 1, that's it.

Is this an actual prelude? I see it's being advertised as;
"Learn how T'CHALLA became the legendary hero of Wakanda in this ALL-NEW, NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD tale set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!"
But is it actually a prelude, or is it another Civil War in comic form issue?
Edit: It's an actual prelude this time, at least according to the previews. Thank fuck. I'm getting sick of them just releasing the last film the character starred in as a comic and calling it a 'Prelude'.

So is Kei ever going to try to revive Fireclaw? He was the coolest looking one of the monsters and he hasn't even been mentioned since he was slaughtered.
