Sweet Sisters of Mercy, that's insane! Did Gorr ever try anything on Living Tribunal or is that less god and more abstract?

OK so this thread inspired me to get Marvel Unlimited, finished with the stuff in the OP.
What are some other highly acclaimed story arcs I should check out next? I know jackshit apart from what I've seen in the Marvel movies so it's all going to be new to me.
Been thinking about getting to grips with all of the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff before the movie comes out, it seems like I need to check out Annihilation: Conquest along with the GOTG comics, anything else?

The living tribunal is an abstract and so far above those two it's not even in the same discussion.
Nevertheless, something has killed him and no one knows what.
I checked out the first few issues of Godbomb last night OP and you're right, it's bloody awesome. Best Thor I've read.
I've always had a teeny, tiny issue with the way Thor gets his own font, it isn't always easy to read but that's the only thing I would mention, everything else is soooo good.

Loki gets it, too. It's like an accent.

I noticed some other regular Asgardians in the comic didn't have the font, I guess it's an accent for Asgardian Gods?

All asgardians are gods. I don't recall any other asgardians showing up (outside of Odin, briefly) but there were plenty of human vikings who worshipped thor running around in the first few issues.
Those guys wouldn't get the font, no.
Somebody killed an M-Body until I see receipts.

also a possibility- but who would even be powerful enough to knock out tribunal's M-body? There shouldn't be anyone else in his league. At ALL. and why leave the M-body there, to fuck with the watcher?
Ah kk, that makes sense.

B-b-b-but that website has volume 2 sold out in paperback.
Do they get more shipments?
Nifty little website though.

I don't read comics at all. Bought volume 1 and 2 after the fantastic OP and it went above and beyond what I ever thought comics were. Then I bought the third volume and everything proceeds to fall off a cliff. Seemed like standard comic book filler stuff. Can anyone recommend anything else on this level of quality? The only other series I've enjoyed was The Killing Joke.

So that Living Tribunal found apparently dead on the moon is really LT dead on the moon?
Who the hell is in charge of looking after the multiverse now?

Good to know. I was about to ask about vol. 3 so I guess I'll skip it. Gonna go ahead and order vol 1 & 2 just based off thread comments, didn't want to read too much of the OP for spoilers but hell of a good job OP.
I too would like to know MUST OWN volumes/storylines such as this.

got massively, MASSIVELY powered down. Nowhere close. Same thing with the infinity gauntlet. Huge, massive nerf, and most of it is shattered.
There's nothing in marvel that's on the tier of where the Tribunal is supposed to be right now, which may be why he's dead- someone might be looking to tone down the crazy abstract cosmic stuff.
Didn't Starbrand come back?

aspect of oblivion from that crazy herc even a few years ago?
the one above all?
the zombie ghost of jack kirby?

yes it did. So did captain universe/the enigma force. they both seem to be around the same level- maybe the phoenix force on a bad day, but not touching the level of any of the big abstracts.
The tribunal outranks each and every abstract by a good margin, with no exceptions. As for the One Above All, the Tribunal IS the representative of whatever the marvel supreme being is. There's no reason for it to get in a fight with him- his powers come directly from his authority granted by the supreme being.
So if anything could kill him, it would have to be marvel's supreme being- but from what we've seen of it (very little), there's no reason it would, and it's not the type of entity to get into fights.

F' me.
The Living Tribunal, the guy in charge of the entire Marvel multiverse dead? Essentially the power of god (The One Above All) in both the most physical and abstract entity?
Goddamn, wat?! Jack Kirby/Stan Lee must had an off day.

yep. and in a throwaway panel. No real explanation, and no one's followed up on it. You would think it would be a bigger deal.
The watcher is also getting murdered in an upcoming storyline, so who the hell knows what Marvel is planning with the cosmic end of things.

More essentials from Mahhhvel for you to devour
-Uncanny X-Force vol. 1 (if you dig this and want more, the story continues in Uncanny Avengers)
-Superior Foes of Spider-Man
-Hawkeye
-Astonishing X-Men 1-24 + Giant-Sized Astonishing X-Men (the Whedon run)
-Daredevil: the Bendis/Brubaker runs if you want something darker, the Mark Waid run if you want something lighter and a bit more fun...all great runs. It's hard to go wrong with DD
-Ultimate Spider-Man
-Immortal Iron Fist: the Brubaker/Fraction run
Note that Superior Foes, Hawkeye, Uncanny Avengers and Mark Waid Daredevil are still ongoing so you can't read the whole thing in trade yet, but there's plenty available to get you started. If you're looking for something meaty, Ultimate Spider-Man is the way to go. It is MASSIVE and one of the greatest, most consistent super hero comics out there. You could also start with the Bendis run and go all the way through Mark Waid's current stuff, you'd have a huge helping of Daredevil with very, very few dips in quality. That's a very consistent book.
Marvel just started a bunch of new books that have been highly praised, too, for anyone looking to get into monthlies. Check out Moon Knight, Magneto and Ms. Marvel.

That one is CRIMINALLY underrated

Water is not wet!
Probably the best thing that ive read that involves superhero types would be Swamp Thing #27-50 from the 80s. They are collected in Swamp Thing Vol. 1-4 in trade paperback format. Its kind of a long arc and doesnt appear at first to really be an arc but things start to come together splendidly.

Looked it up, that seems amazing. Definitely going to try to snag a subscription for at least a year, that's so awesome! $70 is really low for all the comics you'd have access to in a year!
To be fair the guys that know about it have bigger problems.

Thank you! I don't deserve the praise though, marvel did all the work. Support your local comic stores!
Or buy digital. Whatever. It's the 21st century.

Yep, Thor movies now fall completely flat for me. Knowing they don't draw from the insane material they have saddens me.
