Main book, Siege and OML all crazy good this week, but definitely not enough people talking about Witch Hunter Angela. I had no real interest in the character before, and only minimally knew the main writer and artist, but it's just totally great throughout. Surprisingly touching (and thematically appropriate) final issue too!

Maduo posted:Maximus. That was my immediate thought too and fits because Maximus gimmick aside from being insane is that he always manages to convince others to follow him. Who better to lead a bunch of people against a God than a mad man?

Plus The Maker hinted that The Prophet was one of his schemes and Maximus was the Cabal member he seemed to be on the best terms with.

After the previous issue I was super loving worried for Carol. After this issue I'm just so giddy that she's not taking any of Sinister's bullshit and he's glad to have someone talking level with him.

Ben Grimm's abusive older brother would yell "It's Clobberin' Time" before beating him. So Old Man Logan ends at the start of the new Marvel line? What was that Emma was showing him about how he'd lead the charge against Doom? Just a "what-if"? I was really psyched to see OML leading the mutant uprising in Secret Wars.  Also, what is the Siege Courageous? I also think there has to be some payoff for T'Challa talking over Strange's speech - Strange was saying that using it transforms you into somethingsomething, but you couldn't read it under T'Challa's word balloon, which I thought was pretty clever.

I assume it's the non evil version of the Siege Perilous. That transported you places but occassionally could turn you into a statuesque female Asian ninja.

Strange is expositioning for anyone finding it that doesnt know what the thing they found is. But Tchalla and Namor know exactly what the gently caress it is.

I only remember the Siege Courageous from the AvX series. I don't know if it was a thing before or after that. That might have been one of Hickman's issues too knowing how he plants things all over the place.

The art in Secret Wars #6 sure was... uneven. At least the story is still awesome. I really wish they could keep putting out the issues at a regular pace because these delays mute the momentum on what is otherwise a great series. Siege and Old Man Logan were good too. Two of the best tie ins for sure.

SynthOrange posted:Strange is expositioning for anyone finding it that doesnt know what the thing they found is. Do we know what the thing is? The Marvel wiki doesn't mention anything about transformation. There's actually not much at all on the Siege Courageous, when you do a Google search. Also, yay or nay on that Prophet comic you linked earlier? I've read a couple reviews now, and the scope seems amazing, but I'm kinda put off by stories that keep leaving the main plot to delve into flashbacks or side stories.

Strange had stopped talking about the SC and was going on to talk about the Infinity Gauntlet. The SC is just a straight up teleporter.

Nah, Strange states that the SC transforms the user in a manner befitting their true "something something", with the first word starting with P and possibly ending in AL. Which I hope means we get to see a gigantic, Infinity Gauntlet wielding Panther.

The Siege Perilous wasn't originally a transport device; it was a Rebirth McGuffin. You'd go through it and you'd get a new life, and would (at least until plot demanded it) not remember your old one. Roma put it in the hands of the X-Men, who used it to escape from the Reavers; Havok ended up a Genoshan Magistrate, Colossus was a New York-based artist (and was going by 'Peter' instead of 'Piotr;' it was implied that he didn't even know Russian until his old memories jolted back to him); Rogue ended up in the Savage Land, somehow separated from the Ms. Marvel personality she'd absorbed way back when, fought with her, won, and kept her flight/strength/invulnerability but lost Carol Danvers' personality imprint, then hung with Magneto for a bit; Dazzler went back to being a singer with no memories of her powers; Psylocke wound up in Hong Kong and That Whole Mess (tm) started up. It was also responsible for merging Nimrod and Master Mold into Bastion, back when. Also, it was never evil, really; I'm not sure where you get that idea. Even when it was used by Kilgore's Hellfire Academy as their 'detention,' it didn't spit people out 'evil,' IIRC; it spit them out blank, more amenable to the Academy's indoctrination. The Siege Courageous was a transport device used by the Phoenix Five, and was clearly tech-based instead of magic-based, but really nothing about it has been revealed; it's probably not the Siege Courageous we're seeing in Secret Wars, which is almost definitely magical (and thus in Strange's purview) and probably more like the Siege Perilous than anything. If I had to bet I'd say it also gives people that pass through it a 'new life,' probably a more directly heroic one.
