This new site layout sucks. Just in case it wasn't obvious.

All Might solos due to comparable speed and significantly better physicals. He could probably beat the DCEU League and MCU Avengers solo. Endeavour has the power to put Supes and Wondy down but he lacks the speed to keep up with them even with his Flash fire speed feat.

Clears. It's Comic Book Bucky. He has miles of pain endurance, powerful gear, and he's better in terms of combat in every way compared to these guys.

Carol is a bad match up for Kori since she can amp herself by absorbing Starfire's star bolts. She's already stronger and faster than Kori in base stats to boot.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the impressive stamina/endurance feat Cates dropped for Thor in this preview. Fighting an army of thousands without food, sleep or respite for 2 years goes a little way in making up for Thor being knocked over by a rock. In any case this looks like a much better written issue than the second. The writing seems more natural and cohesive than Thor #2 was.

I was about to say this but i saw on another forum someone mentioning how Thor struggled for 2 years to beat an army of some random aliens using wooden spears and swords which reinforces the idea that rocks can indeed hurt him and i just decided i think i am gonna take a break from Thor for a while cause i can't deal with these comments...

Edit: oh and apparently it was also mentioned here... yep...

Edit2: and now that i think about it, Thor has another feat of fighting an army for 9 months straight without food or water or sleep, so really yes 2 years is more impressive than 9 months but at that point who cares? He has the stamina to fight for a longer time than any of his fights will ever really require, so meh... it would have been impressive if he fought for a 100 years or something... i am starting to dislike Cates greatly...

To be fair they could be wielding enchanted weapons forged from Nidavellir or one of the other special weapon's smiths in the Nine Realms (since this was before the reveal of the Tenth Realm) But I admit that's just speculation on my part. In all likelihood this is just Cate making Thor as powerful as he wants him to be at any give moment in the story.

I do like Cates' portrayal of Thor, he makes him sound more stoic and honourable than the character has been portrayed since Aaron became the main Thor writer for years and his portrayal was copied by other writers who used Thor. And there's some interesting callbacks to Thor lore such as Thor using the Allspeak to talk to an alien race. But the second issue was a drop in quality and the inconsistent power portrayal in the action sequences are quite jarring.

It was a pretty good read. Question, though, haven't been following Slott's Fantastic Four run but since when did Franklin have brown hair?

Franklin's hair got cut and dyed in the earlier issues of Slott's Fantastic Four run after they returned from their multiversal journey. I can't remember exactly which issue it happened though.

Eh I'm not a big fan of Damian being replaced by another son of Superman in this show. It doesn't really work if you don't actually have the Super Sons in the show. But Batman is a complicated figure in the Arrowverse for obvious reasons so it's understandable.

@zariusii: So Bendis is handing off the box sub plot to this one shot tie in instead of dealing with it in his own series. It feels like Bendis had one idea for the box prior to the actual release of the issue but then rewrote it entirely prior to the actual issue's release.

Most of the MHA verse don't have the durability to withstand Orochi's casual attacks so it basically comes down to the high tiers anyway. All Might, All For One, Wolfram, Nine and Gigantomachia don't have the durability to tank Orochi's strongest blast that was uprooting City Z.

@underfire47: Has that been confirmed yet? I recall Ewing saying that there would be a Hulk vs Thing rematch in Immortal Hulk but not Hulk fighting the Avengers again along with cosmic Thor.
