Comic Page of the Week


From 'War of Kings' # 3 comes this beauty of a splash page. Gotta love a space racoon in a bubble helmet with a bad ass blaster (cliché dialog aside) and his 'stick' Groot. I am enjoying this series if only to see Gladiator finally become the heroic character he always could be. Of course he now will die at the end of it but not before eliminating Vulcan, the treat that has plunged his beloved Shi'ar into war. These type of Marvel space adventures always appealed to me. Nice to see these 'cosmic' characters in the hands of people who know and love them. It shows. We don't need every comic in Marvel's universe connected to this story the way that Civil War or Secret Invasion required each title to be onboard. 3 or 4 titles attached to the 'War of Kings' mini, to round out some of the details, is enough.
