INFINITY GAUNTLET #5: CLASH OF THE TITANS



[A stream of consciousness live-blog]


Harry Hamlin is Perseus. Harry Hamlin! Seriously.

Opensies...

Raise your hand if you think the Watcher will interfere?

Also, he's got very shapely legs.

Are some of those Cosmic Entities actually just heads? I mean, all the time? I love the purple Edward G. Robinson one. Yehn, you can dish it out, but you got so you can't take it no more.

Good thing Thanos remembers his blocking. Fist raised defiantly in classic 3/4 stance.

Galactus's head gear looks so unwieldy. And a bit showy really.

Who is the tiny head in the scraggly circle? He needs a new agent.

They keep emphasizing Nebula. If she doesn't play a major role before this over, I'm going to pitch a hissy.

Yay, Doc. I can't believe with all of his power and smarts they have him watching this on closed-circuit orb.

Oh, he gets to locate stuff too. *sigh*

Ok, wasn't Doc there when they tried to recruit Eternity et al? What did he think was going to happen when they joined the battle. He's so shocked he's gratuitously using his catchphrase, but come on... He should be deadly serious and sexily steeling himself. But nooooo.

Pretty explosion. Would make a wicked cool black light poster.

Ah, Mistress Death is the giver of life. How's that work exactly? And she's immune to reality? Ok, I know.. going with it.

What exactly does Warlock do? So far, it seems anyway, without Surfer he'd be out of this.

Earth jarred lose from its orbit... I don't think the dimension distortion cascade really matters here.

Interdimensional scavengers! Like CAA or Endeavor. I kid. I kid because I love. Call me.

I have no idea what's happening, but the colors are incredibly vivid and beautiful in this end of the universe battle.

Mistress Love and Sire Hate. I think Hate is a cross-dresser. Your secret is safe with me.

Mephisto thinks he can just saunter in and deglove Thanos? It can't be that simple.

Poor Surfer. He's an emotional wreck throughout this, isn't he?

Oooooo, Eternity. He is soooo cool.

Warlock is linked to the Infinity Gems in ways the writers haven't thought of yet.

Hee. Doctor Strange still standing there even though Earth was knocked out of its orbit.

Seeing Thanos as Eternity is creepy-beepy.

Go, Nebula, go!

Hee. She took the glove off. Damn, it was that easy.

For her revenge, she banishes him? Come on. With an eternity to think on her vengeance and that's what she comes up with? Amateurs.

I hope his need of Doctor Strange's mystic talents goes beyond being a travel agent.

Oh, Surfer. Why is someone always rushing in when they shouldn'ta oughta? And, is just me or is Surfer looking like he's been taking HGH?

Go Doc! Make sure you collect your commission.

Hee. Now, they're all sitting around talking. It always cracks me up to see characters like Thanos, sitting in a chair like they've just popped over for tea. Pass the sugar, you world hungry maniac.

Oh heavens. Warlock pulls an In Treatment and Thanos falls like a house of cards.

I wish I knew Nebula's back story. I don't understand her animosity or why she chose that outfit. I mean with her blue skin tone she should go with a burnt orange and tangerine for daytime.

Well, at least Doc's out in the field finally! Looks like Warlock might come in handy in the end with his gem linkage. We'll see.

Phew.
