Anyone else reading this? Am I the only one pouring money down the cosmic rat hole here? The whole thing just strikes me as... shoddy, somehow. Uneven... poorly executed...Anyone noticed that in at least two issues, so far, they have referred to Titan as "a moon of Jupiter" on the intro page? JUPITER?!?!I may not be Carl Sagan, but I do know where Titan is, and it sure as heck ain't orbiting Jupiter-- unless Galactus took a bite out of it and then left it there, for later. And if I know, shouldn't a writer and an editor who are being paid to write about it know where it is?? Also, the verb tense shifts from past to present in some of the intro pages, too. All that sort of thing would be forgiveable if the story was simply enjoyable. But, alas... Shoddy.

Anyone else reading this? Am I the only one pouring money down the cosmic rat hole here? I'm interested in reading it, but probably as a trade or picking up the whole thing at a convention. I'm sure all these issues will be bound together. [QUOTE Anyone noticed that in at least two issues, so far, they have referred to Titan as "a moon of Jupiter" on the intro page?

Anyone else reading this? Am I the only one pouring money down the cosmic rat hole here? Yes, I´m pouring my money into it, too. ;D All that sort of thing would be forgiveable if the story was simply enjoyable. But, alas... Hm, it seems I´m taking more liberties with these stories (not to say with the writers), not unlike NA. Though, I didn´t like the prologue (story was a little bit confusing to read for me, didn´t like the art). At first I thought the storyline a little too simple, but why not Annihilus trying to conquer (destroy) our universe. All in all I´m a little bit reminded to the Shadow in Babylon 5, but that´s not a problem for me. But, until now the storyline get´s better and better, I enjoyed 3 of the 4 mini series, especially Nova and lately Silver Surfer. The only one I still don´t like is Ronan. Don´t like the story (very confusing to read for me, but then, I´m not native english speaking) and for sure I do not like the art at all. So, I´m looking forward the main mini series and hoping they´ll give Annihilus what he deserves.

We can all argue back and forth over the importance of continuity, but this is just wrong. I guess next they'll have a super team based out of Detroit Florida

I just picked up the trade of Book 1, now that they are finally hitting paperback. I am actually really liking it. I didn't notice the Titan and Jupiter thing, because I didn't read the little database/filler items at first. I did notice they finally got it right, with Phyla-Vell's entry, saying she was from Titan the 14th moon of Saturn (Sol VI). Though I am not sure where the 14th moon parts comes from because according to Wikipedia, Titan is the 20th most-distant moon. Maybe the Marvel U's Saturn doesn't grant moon status to some of the smaller satellites orbiting it. At any rate, I am really enjoying the story. I especially enjoyed the initial prison ship crash (though by the end of Book 1, the little girl is really wearing thin), and I enjoyed the Xandarian invasion/destruction and the beginning of Nova's new phase in life. Things did seem a little disjointed at first, however.
