My name is Kirk Warren and I’m a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn’t know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

I need to buy that page.
I mean, that's just perfect, and a nice way to cheer up everyone bummed out about the Thanos Imperative ending.
This page is one of the best things that have ever existed.
From the looks of the pages, it definitely seems to be the beginning of a "Cosmic Avengers" team, complete with Cosmo as the resident telepath. (Mantis might have been a better choice since she's been an Avenger, but you can't argue with a Soviet canine riding a space-faring surfboard.) Blastaar is definitely not having a good day.
I'm left to wonder if the issue will touch on any of the following plot threads left dangling:
1) Will Blastaar acknowledge the battle he's having with Annihilus' forces back at 42 (the Negative Zone Prison)?
2) How do the recent events fit into the machinations for the Fraternity of Raptors? They groomed Gladiator to take over for the Kree after they assassinated Queen Lilandra. The Raptors were being positioned as the counterpoint to the Nova Corps. With the Corps' dissolution, will these "Cosmic Avengers" be enough to stop them? Or will they inadvertently advance the Raptors' cause?
3) At the end of the Inhumans mini-series, Medusa hoped to use the Cancerverse to solve the problem of the Kree's evolutionary dead-end. I assume that was probably going to be a plot point for the "Thanos Initiative" tie-ins, but probably got cut once "Nova" and "GotG" suspended publication. I suspect she probably captured one of the Cancerverse beings before the Fault collapsed, and will try to interbreed them with the Kree. Maybe this plot point will be the one that leads to the Shadow War that prophesized in "Nova", which culminates in the death of Medusa.
