beta ray bill series...

[ww1971]

would someone please comment on it? was it good? i just read thor visionaries vol 1 and saw beta's origin. Is it consistent with what's current., and will there be a trade?
thanks

I have really been enjoying it alot so far. It definetly deals with Bills people and and ties in very well with his origin. It also teis into the end of the last Thor series very well too. very well written.

It is very cool for the simple fact that I don't think we have ever see Bill cut lose with his power as much as he has in this mini. He manages to crack Galactus's armor for gods sake. Plus the art is just beutiful to look at.

I am sure Marvel will put it into trade after it is done. They trade nearly everything now and this is a lot more deserving than most of the stuff they put into trades.

This is one of my most favorite books out of my list. The art is gorgeous, the story is kick-ass. Everything about it is awesome. If yer not getting it yet, I highly reccomend this book.

thanks for the response, how many issues is it, and does it remain true to walt simonsons story from the 80s? (i just read thor visionaries vol 1 with the origin of beat ray)

how many issues is it
It's a six issue series. Number five comes out next week.
does it remain true to walt simonsons story from the 80s?
I think so.

I added this to my pull list when I first heard about it just out of loyalty to Thor if nothing else.
The first couple of issues were a bit wobbly IMO, could have gone either way really, but the last couple have really picked up. The art is (and has been all the way through) fantastic and the action has been really good. I was actually considering dropping this title after the 2nd issue (and I never drop books mid arc or mini series midway through), but now I can't wait to see how it all pans out.
Well worth a look, although perhaps a good idea to wait for the trade.

Its also really nice to see the cosmic side of Marvel and a new herald for Galactucus.At least I assume its anew herald I'm not that familiar with the character.

Not Galactucus. Galactus.

Not being an @ss, just obeying my OCD lol. :p

Don't suppose there's any reference as to how Galactus came back following the last Waid/Ringo FF arc?

No, no obvious refernece has been made. But it's possible that FF issue is why Galactus in this series has been colder and less human (not to mention verbose) then we've seen him before.

I'd love it if once again, meddling by Reed Richards causes a disaster where many die.
