Yeah, I remember them in Infinity and Annihilators but I'm curious if they're still around post SW.

I thought the current series pretty much already gave it away.
Odinson starts that series being plagued and haunted by things Gorr the Godslayer had been saying, and full of serious doubts that playing "God" as Thor had been hurting mortals more than helping them.
All Fury would have had to do is say something to confirm what was already bothering him. "Gorr was right, Thor is holding back mankind". Or something equal to it.
We already saw Thor become worthy again vs the Beyonders before dying in Time Runs Out, so it's not some super scandalous thing Thor did. Just something he believed about himself that was no longer proven to be true.
Since Odinson doesn't remember that fight or anything about secret wars, he'll have to have that epiphany a different way.

FINALLY
I stopped buying invincible ult collections at vol 7, still haven't decided if I should sell these or continue rebuying the issues with the format. Good book either way, just might not be something I want to spend an extra $100 on to sit on my shelf. That's what statues are for.
I also spent time today trying to paint my catwoman statue's goggle. Mixed results.

I love the format. Now that the end of the series is in sight, it's going to be nice to have it all collected like this. Not crazy about the fact they have dust covers, unlike most of the other Image hardcovers.

Loved the opening issue of the Wild Storm. The art was great and the world seems interesting. Will be buying #2.
Is it labeled as a Deluxe?
JL vs Suicide Squad sounded standard sized, i am debating getting it.
Did we ever find out if the Reborn hardcover from Image is standard sized? Googling doesn't seem like it's oversized, but A.D. After Death's hardcover will be.

They stepped up their game over the last two years. 50% of their shedule was Batman, but there were about three Deluxes per Quarter.
This is going to change now, since they are going to sell more of their current Ongoings as Deluxes (=always two Trades)

DC generally did the deluxe editions as an afterthought.
Exactly.

They've done the Fu Manchu thing they used to do with Shang Chi. The current Space Knight leads are Rom's sons, but they can never refer to him as Rom. I think he's like... the Glorious Leader or something like that.
Since that, they're not talked to him. Their last appearance was in Infinity.
Rocket Raccoon #3 This was probably my favorite book this week, it had many great moments between Rocket and Kraven, I hope Rosenberg gets another shot at a Rocket Series in the future.
Infamous Iron Man #5 Maleev's art, like always, was on point, the action panel was gorgeous. The book has a great focus on Doom, I thought it would be a book where Doom dealt with Tony's problems, but instead, the focus is squarely on Doom has he deals with his country, Shield and trying to redeem himself.
Inhumans vs X-Men #5 This series has been better than I think anyone expected. best part of it might be putting most of the Secret Warriors cast together.

Yes pls
Its almost like this was the premise from the beginning lol.
Basically it's
"When is she gonna Hulk out?"
Issue 5. Book it.
Well duh
I just read this. So great.
There are a crazy amount of repercussions from this story and we still don't have everything.

God damn, they look rad. I need to go look at Infinity again and brush up on ROM history.

I feel like issue 3 is where Jen should have Hulked out by now. Something should have happened and instead it's just another build up. The book is also suppose to explore rage and we're so far just getting small hints of it.

Don't worry, Messi. These people just have terrible taste in comics.
