• Super Fight Club is here and She-Hulk isn't going to break the rules.
• Good thing Rainbow and Rogê are going to break the first rule and talk about it just for you.

PLUS: in "SPOOK-A-RAMA" from GILLY and LEE, Ronnie tries one last time to get justice for Veda's murder.

All rather disappointing, and Clea doesn't seem to be true to character.

Briton reviewed Where Starships Go To Die #1 Jun 11, 2022

Point Nemo - the farthest oceanic point on earth from any landmass. A spacecraft graveyard where rockets and satellites can be safely ditched on the ocean floor.

Full disclosure: I'm not following Thor. I read this as a Hulk tie-in, and will be reviewing it as such.
The art is not great. There are almost no backgrounds, the figure work is sketchy, and Martin Coccolo's usual facility with facial expressions is noticeably absent. He appea more

"BANNER OF WAR" PART 4
Thor and Hulk's epic rivalry continues in the fourth installment of the characters' 60th Anniversary crossover celebration! Thanks to Odin, Thor now realizes the gravity of Banner's situation - and its connection to that mysterious, violent incident in El Paso. But when Iron Man's interference causes more harm than good, ...
Titan was explained. Titan was revealed at the end of the first arc of Hulk as the Betty in Bruce's head. Bruce always knew about Titan. Titan caused El Paso to happen. TItan is the impetus for the entire run. Titan is why Bruce made Hulk into a spaceship and tried to leave forever. This was explained in this very crossover.
Thanks. I went back and re-read before responding, just to make sure. "Evil Betty" never refers to itself as "Titan", that's a description used by someone reporting to Ross. Banner had no way of hearing that, so he produced that name out of thin air in this issue. It's also not clear that "Titan" is controlling the people in the bar in El Passo - just Bruce - so that tidbit comes out of nowhere too. I get the premise for the series, I just don't like it, or think it's been written well.
