Infinity Countdown 005 [of 5]
For those of you who don't mind my quick replies to fourchan copypasta in lieu of a formal review...

It all comes down to this:
Requiem is coming
Infinity Countdown - Darkhawk #4 was such a unappealing/disappointing conclusion, after such a promising lead up, so didn't even bother posting about it. This conclusion on the other hand kept consistent with it's lead up - mediocre and arbitrary.

Thor and Hulk books this week are much worse than it. Heck, it's even main reason for ths post with the newest banner submission.

I can't tell if the floating squares surrounding the text at the top of the pages are meant to be stylistic, or if they're an error.

Hank is not allowed any victory ever, is he?
Well, he did get a Standard Not-in-his-right-mind Loophole/Get Out of Jail Free Card for all the atrocities that Pymtron caused. So, apparently (and arbitrarily) his good human soul has been trapped in the Soul Gem all along.

No Quill didn't steal Stone, Robbie Rider told him how to make the power stone tiny again and he took it during a Nova/Chitauri/Raptors battle
So it was on-panel and he really didn't steal it since he was the one to give it to Drax in the first place

What the hell do you expect them to do? Just forget about it entirely?
Gamora still cares about Rich a lot, and the fact is that Peter came out of the cancerverse and Rich did not.
She had apparently already come to terms with this for many adventures since.

So I haven't actually paid any attention to this since Wolverine came back to life and took the blue gem, how much have I missed? Also what ever became of the celestial that Starbrand and Ghost Rider found? Something about a prophecy regarding the present versions of the prehistoric Avengers?

With all the suffering he had recently, I don't think even Blackagar can ever catch up to Hank in the suffering scale.
Also, what's with people on CW-era clothes minus Carol.
Hank had to believe his hallucination.

Turk's the only one of the bunch who can't go off-planet on his own, and he didn't want two stone holders together on their own since they have more chances of survival by being together the six. But this is probably overthinking.

Eh? Everyone is wearing what they were wearing the last time Pym was "alive" except for Wolverine (who was dead at the time) and Reed (who was presumed dead at the time.) Oh, and Thor. Thor would have been unworthy last time Pym saw him.

Last Days of Magic is getting ignored even by Aaron itself, he just really wanted to use his blue design for Strange in his Avengers book
And Waid put Strange on his feet after his first issue (with a literal training montage)
Let's hope the depowered Strange is a thing of the past now.

Somebody killed Freddy Freaker
What a waste of a running prologue set up that was! The six issues of empty script and good art could have been equally been as dramatically teaseworthy in one issue. All we got was a mystery patron (who turns out to look female in shadows - and is probably on cover of IW#1) has Noahnaim Snotemportant the Dwarf to forge a weapon (that turns out to be a mystery purposed sword) and not only stiffs him of his fee but turns him into a stiff (that is probably just to keep things a mystery rather than excite readers with real info).

By the looks of it, Soulworld became Dystopia. More like a very dull version of Hell where there's no eternal suffering but nothing changes and everything they do is pointless, so people who go in there end up hollow and hopeless.
So, like Niflheim and Valhalla.

I find it hilarious that Gamora and Quill have been having a beef about Rich for awhile now and Rich is pretty oblivious about it.
Plus they know he's just fine now.

Wow what a bitch. Pym’s new to this area and has been been suffering for quite a while now and he tries things in a way that would make him comfortable and Old Gamora just leaves him to his fate? Jeez, that bitch needs to stay trapped in there if that’s how she runs
That was cold but that's probably that piece of her soul.

I don't really mind that, but I also don't think Galactus should change. He should be unmoving, unfeeling, and needs to get rid of planets as more are created.

It's gonna be written by Cates (Thanos Legacy), so I really question its quality. But Infinity Wars' big baddie is actually Requiem, not Thanos, and it's not going to be similar to Infinity Gauntlet or War, according to some other creators who have read the thing.
Who the heck is Requiem? (Probably the mystery sword weilder?)

That's probably what happened for most of them. With Wolverine he was probably told that he can't because Wolverine gets his own event.
Teasing Super-Skrull and giving us Strange instead is probably the worst part. Kl'rt hasn't been given any good roles since Secret Invasion.
