I get the explanation, but poor Black Bolt deserves better than being at love with this bitch. The guy is strong and a goddamn king, I'm sure he could find something better but for some fucking reason the writers or editors don't want him to have anyone else.
Even when he "married" the other Universal Inhumans his eyes were solely for Medusa. This sickens me.

Aaron Johnson
If the marriage is done they need to let BB move on. Now with them being out of power they shouldn't need to keep appearances.

The primers are an ok idea but are pretty much worthless to anyone familiar with the characters. I though they original announced them as original shorts. Does it count as writing when it just parrots canon?
Mason Thomas
So the Progenitors are just Celestial rip-offs like the Builders?
Angel Jones
It's pretty obvious that Flint is gonna become a skeleton in the crystal, so the only 6 return part is solved
Josiah Murphy
Flint being a skeleton doesn't kill him. Ewing said the transformation last forever in an interview so isn't going to end him. Even future Max said he doesn't die. Ewing also said person that doesn't return actually dies.
I'm betting celestials that transformed themselves with Primagen.
Juan Jenkins
Black Bolt on his book
>"I live and die for Medusa, the only love of my life!"
Medusa on her book
>"The magic is gone, I would rather sleep with any guy than Black Bolt."
Also, Medusa was already planning on unmaking the Inhuman royalty when she and Black Bolt got back together. There was no need to keep appearances. Why was she so concerned about keeping appearances when she was publicly fucking a manchild for a year, anyway?
That's odd for a canonwanker like Ewing.
Jason Morgan
But isn't ewing also writing Black Bolt?
Lucas Morris
Nope.
Camden Ross
Why do writers feel a need to constantly cu ck black bolt? Can't they at least let him get a new girlfriend before having medusa be a slut?
Logan Adams
You can beat your ass it's editorial at work and Ewing is trying to salvage it. Why else would she sleep with Johnny of all people otherwise
Matthew King
BB's books says they aren't together at all. Perhaps Ewing and Ahmed didn't discuss this entirely. Also they "got together" before the monarchy was dissolved, it didn't actually get shown until Inhumans prime which by then BB and Max got switched.
Ayden Perry
Because this how you empower female characters at Marvel. Look at how independent Medusa is, she don't need no man.
Wyatt Hill
>crystal glob
Tyler Brown
I think Ewing did this because it made no sense for them to just get back together. They didn't talk or anything, it just went "hey we made up" in one scene.
Aiden Hughes
So wait do all Sky Spears have dead inhumans inside of them?
Thomas Garcia
>Also they "got together" before the monarchy was dissolved
Yes, but by that time, Medusa was already planning on dissolving the monarchy. There was no need to go back to Black Bolt to keep appearances.
And again, why she was suddenly so concerned about that? A year getting fucked by Johnny Storm didn't teach her that no one gives a fuck about her and Black Bolt being together?
Levi Ross
Hey got to do what you can with Soule's mess.
Josiah Sanchez
Maybe Medusa was planning to break up the monarchy so they could split up.
John Perry
>I made a terrible mistake
Justin Phillips
that's actually a scientifically accurate depiction of deep space (aka space between galaxies). you can't see jack shit.
Camden Wood
>They didn't talk or anything
It is not like Blackagar could say much.
Jayden Long
Why not? Shouldn't the stars still be visible in the firmament?
Josiah Evans
by making a bigger mess of things?
Hudson Morris
>Behold, Kree! I have come to gas every last one of you! Now say "Thank you".
Eli Miller
the space between galaxies is several orders of magnitude bigger than galaxies themselves. if you were to step exactly inbetween andromeda and the milky way, they'd look little bigger than two faint dots, if could see them at all.
We see galaxies from probes because we developed photography techniques that allow us to see things smaller than our eyes can.
Landon Nelson
Well it makes even sense that she would start fucking Gorgon.
Logan Scott
Ewing and editorial probably just decided that Black Bolt and Medusa can't really be a thing anymore after Soule. "Royals" has Medusa moving on completely, and Black Bolt will probably move on at the end of his book, too.
Can we really blame them? For a period of time, Medusa was fucking Johnny Storm, of all people, on the royal bed, while Black Bolt had to wait outside the room. You can't get back together after that.
Josiah Phillips
>Can we really blame them?
Yes.
Jaxson Green
>You can't get back together after that.
Yeah you can, just ignore it like Marvel does with everything.
Jason Ortiz
>while Black Bolt had to wait outside the room
Black Bolt didn't even live in Attilan while they were together
Josiah Taylor
I gotta say with this and sorcerers supreme Rodriguez has become a really good artist.
Jonathan White
Colton Richardson
Maybe Cuckbolt is an editorial mandate?
Thomas Collins
bump
Alexander Adams
agreed
Carson Howard
...
Ryan Adams
how can a dead mutant be so smug
Evan Peterson
he just loves Medusa dearly and completely.
His Love Is Pure(t. Spurrier)
Cameron Hill
Oh God the NTResque feeling in this book is so strong, as a fan of the genre I'm very pleased but as a fan of Blackagar not so much.
Gabriel King
I gasped on both page turns.
Ryan Myers
I like this guys design but the colorist messed up the kirby krackle it is suppose to have
Easton White
This is beautiful!
Brandon Wood
Why just now they are showing us this??? Why not before like in the first issue instead of implying that Medusa and Blackbolt were together again???
Maybe the original idea was to have them really together again but then editorial came and said that Blackbolt must be cuck in the actual political climate of Marvel???
I really don't understand why they don't explained everything between them since the very beginning.
Aiden Sanders
I don't think so, last issue said that they were literally spears thrown by the Progenitors to study Inhumans around the universe
Ethan Moore
l-lewd
Angel Miller
Javier Rodriguez is too good for this book.
Blake Cook
>wasting Javier Rodriguez on a book that's already as good as cancelled
for what reason?
is this Marvel trying to make up to Ewing for always putting him on C-list titles then cancelling them?
Jason Wright
he was just as good before.
Landon Martin
Great art, nice issue.
Levi Sanchez
Hopefully he gets back to draw Captain Marvel and Spider-Woman's wedding.
Jeremiah Fisher
I wonder if Ewing realizes that Marvel is actively alienating every one of his potential readers. He keeps writing these continuity-heavy, high-concept superhero stories during an era when Marvel has declared war on the types of people who read them.
For instance, the content of pic related is catnip for diehards and continuity nerds, but the cover image sends a completely different message - this is a "diversity book" and therefore achieves the bare minimum of storytelling and artistic competence because "fighting racism" is enough.
Ryder Morales
>high concept
not what you think it means
Michael Myers
You realize Ewing picks these rosters on his own.
Lincoln Cox
impossible.
all comic plots are dreamed up by editors and execs and the writers just put words together with guns to their head/
Blake Nelson
Why would anybody think that unless they're a huge racist?
Aaron Edwards
He picks the roster but he seems to add a "controversial" character like Squirrel Girl or America to each of his books which is what I was getting at. He's just carrying on like it's twenty years ago, using characters and concepts in good faith.
Why would anyone think that liberals, academics and artists hold non-whites to a lower standard than white people? I dunno, it's not like they're tripping over themselves to redefine concepts like "hard work" and "objective truth" as tools of white supremacy.
My point is not that "it has black people, it must be bad." my point is "it has black people, we'll never know if it's actually good," because the only way to be "non racist" is to just fully support whoever the loudest minority in the room says, so as long as there's one black person on the planet who thinks Mosiac was the best book Marvel ever published, it's literally slavery to disagree.

Careful you don't asphyxiate in that echo chamber user.
Dylan Garcia
>Because that's not ALL that's happening, I can imagine it's not ANY of what's happening
>he posted links from two sites, these must be the only sites he reads
So.....am I wrong about the fact that there's a large subset of the population that overcompensates for the existence of racism by holding non-whites to a lower standard?
Benjamin Davis
Hello new reaction image!
Anthony Sanchez
You missed a page by the way
William Howard
I dont care much about this, but the art is pretty great
Aaron Russell
I like how at first it almost seems like a goofy big eyed frog man, then you notice the scowling face half hidden behind the 'eye' discs
Tyler Powell
damn neither I nor anybody reading caught that
Andrew Perry
>I'm getting stronger
>can't wake up
Isaac Cooper
...
Christopher Parker
Why put Black Bolt on the cover when he's not in the book? Stop that.
John Hughes
>Javier RodrÃguez on art now
Thank you for putting that in the OP, now I have to read it, FUCK! Is this his first issue? How long is he going to be on?
Thomas Collins
He did one spread in the last issue and he is artist for all the currently solicited chapters. So 9-12 at least.
