BuffaloDelorean Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) The first book I read that really got me into comics was a reprint of the Dark Phoenix Saga at my local library. That's also how I read the Kamala Khan Ms. Marvel series, and how I discovered the Thunderbolts and Runaways, two of my favourite comic series.

DSTZach Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 My local library site allows me to request form 20-30 libraries in the region, so I've been reading Unbeatable Squirrel Girl that way, and catching up with Superman. I must get in six graphic novels a week. I like Marvel Unlimited, but I can't read on the computer that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only question at this point is do I get one, and just change Xavier into Mastermind permanently, or get 2, so I can have both at the same time. We should split a second set. I need a second Jean to customize, you need a second Xavier. Somewhere, some Avengers fan probably wants our extra Quicksilver and I'm SURE a spare Toad would sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't read that thread and thus seen the reply. As it was back in February, those of us (ie me!) hoping that executioner is indeed in wave 74 can hope that the wave simply hadn't been finalised back then.

I guess you're right that it could just have not been finalised, though. Edited June 23, 2017 by BuffaloDelorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Executioner is NOT in Series 74, but you will see him in the Ragnarok assortments. Hopefully he'll work for your 616. I think he could... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the brief glimpse we got of him in the trailer, he was kind of comic-y, but it wasn't an exact likeness. I doubt I'll be able to find any of the non-LCS assortments, but it's nice that he's being released in some form. Now I have no idea who either of the 74 villains could be. Can you give any other clues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnemosis Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 OMG... Kid (or teen) Loki? Either could come with Kate Bishop Hawkeye and I'd be in LOVE. In fact, you could probably do a clever parts deal to make both with one torso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 For a second I read that as having Kate Bishop and Loki share a torso, which seemed weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Surtur? Ulik? Man-Gog? I can't really think of many other Asgardian villains who'd be considered "new" (comic Hela? Karnilla? Ymir? comic Destroyer?). That's it. I've tapped my Asgardian villain knowledge, unless you wanna go d-list like Geirrodur, Utgard-Loki, Fenris Wolf... ...but this is now full-on "wrong thread" territory.

Without wishing to derail this thread any more I don't know whether you are prepared to say whether it's the "classic" or the modern villain that's the asgardian one Zach?

DSTZach Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Asgardian is classic. Alien is recent. Not THAT recent, but recent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new, classic Asgardian villain, but it isn't Executioner, Hela, Destroyer, or Malekith. I don't know a lot about Thor, but the only character that's making sense to me is Ulik. The alien is recent but not current, storyline specific, and a villain best known for fighting a specific Avenger. We keep learning more about this character, but I still have no idea who it could be. Skrullektra from Secret Invasion, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my guess if the Asgardian was modern, but I just realised he's actually an alien. that would make sense to me, especially if we're also getting young Thor or unworthy Odinson in 74 as a storyline specific modern Avenger.

stegron01 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yeah and it can't be gor the god butcher if the asgardian villain is the classic one as I don't think Zach said that both villains were thor related. I'm personally really pleased that the asgardian villain is the classic one (thanks for the info Zach) and can only imagine that ulik or maybe surtur are well known enough to be made other than the already discounted movie ones? I still have also have absolutely no clue who the modern one could be, and let's not also forget that one of them wears armour! I'm still really surprised it's not skurge.

To be fair, he didn't say they couldn't both be best known as enemies of Thor. Still, the more I think about it, the more uncertain I am of Gorr. I can't think of any other unmade modern alien villains best known as opponents of specific Avengers, though. I'd guess that the alien will be armoured, since I'm pretty confident in Ulik.

I do agree that Ulik seems very likely now though, which is great if so, although I felt the same way about skurge until yesterday...

The alien is specifically an enemy of the Hulk, so the Black Order wouldn't really fit. I'm pretty sure it's the Red King from Planet Hulk.
