Hunger #2

Hunger #2 and finally the Silver Surfer shows up not our Silver Surfer but at least he knows what he is doing.  There is some time spent with Rick Jones trying to help survivors of the Galactus fight.  The Kree have a plan to cause stars to Super Nova in order to destroy not just the Galactus Swarm but the true Galactus as well.   It was kind of interesting seeing this Silver Surfer interact with Galactus.  Rick and the Surfer escape to Earth just before the star system is destroyed.  But it appears they simply drew Galactus and the swarm to Earth.  Fun times and it was a good time for a cliffhanger ending.  While not a perfect story it was interesting and I was entertained.

Hunger #1 - Age of Ultron Aftermath

Hunger  #1 – Age of Ultron Aftermath.  It figures that Rick Jones would have something to do with the end of a Universe.  I just kind of expected it to be the end of our universe – but I kid - I always liked Rick Jones.  The problem is he was just in way to many other comics as the side kick for way to many years so what to do with him now?  Apparently he has been working for a group of Watchers as a Guardian of the Universe and it looks like the Ultimates Universe is where this story takes place.  Rick is visiting Earth to get a burger but gets grabbed by his Watcher and taken to a battle in space between the Kree and Chitauri to observe and not be seen apparently.  They watch the fighting until that Universes version of Galactus shows up (apparently just a giant robot swarm in that universe) and then something weirder happens.  Then another Galactus shows up from our Universe because of how Wolverine and others broke time in the Age of Ultron comic.  So our Galactus attacks the Ultimate Galactus and instead of absorbing (eating) each other they merge into a Super Glactus.  I said things got weird; the story was interesting so I hope the rest of the story is good.  To be continued….

The Silver Surfer!

The Silver Surfer One-Shot by Stan Lee and Moebius – this is a reprint of the older two part mini-series story named Parable.  The story itself is old as time – a story of gods power and greed by the people who would worship them.  Can the Silver Surfer save mankind of itself when mankind begins to worship Galactus.  The art is classic Moebius but the story is much better than the norm for Stan Lee.  If you get a chance you should check this story out.  There is a lot of bonus material that some people may find interesting.
