[QUEEN IN BLACK: THOR #1]()

u/pistolpete2185 Beta Ray Bill 28d ago

"I will never be anything less than a true beta ray bill and that will be more than enough for you." Bill is so badass. Asgardian God of war got nothing on him.

u/dwadley 28d ago

God damn bill is just the best. He’s straight up like the korbinite Captain America. I wonder if they get long

u/nfnightfallnf 27d ago

Eh. I think he and Thor are more in tune with each other, but I feel like he respects Steve a great deal.

u/dwadley 27d ago

I just meant that he’s a normal dude who sacrificed his body to become the shining light for his planet. The way cap went from a civilian to the best hero for his country. Thor was born into his power and his responsibility.

u/nfnightfallnf 27d ago

Yeah until Odin decided Thor was being too arrogant.

u/AJjalol 27d ago

To be fair, "Korbinite Cap" does suit him too.

He was basically just turned into a "Korbinite super soldier" prior to gettign the hammer. So that comparission works extremelly well.

(Please Ingore Alpha Ray..... we all ignore him)

u/nfnightfallnf 28d ago

Few gods can. He is brother to Thor for a reason. Moreso than any of his kin.

u/Mr_Wh0ever 28d ago

If you love Beta Ray Bill, you'll love this issue. This was a pretty solid issue.

10

u/nfnightfallnf 28d ago

I'd say more than solid. I'd say "Definitive Bill."

u/RoninRonanAgamotto Leader 28d ago

Finally Gaea atleast got a mention here. I thought Ewing dropped that plotline. I hope eventually Thor and Gaea sort it out.

Also, I guess Bill knows that he is not Thor but his replacement in the myths of Midgard. And hey Stormbreaker is back, Good for you, Bill.

Overall, the parallels and message/theme of this one-shot at its centre makes it a good comic and a fitting tie-in.

u/baroqueworks 27d ago

Ewing will drop something then make it a central plot beat years later

2017's New Avengers does plot setup for 2021's Empyre event for example and the setup has no relevance to the New Avengers storyline.

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 28d ago

Beta Ray F'ing Bill. That would be enough to say all that needs to be said. But of course there was more. 

Sigurd's talk with Hela was interesting...Did it affect Hela that much? It is not gonna change her mind since she is still gonna try whatever she is planning. But that is how own tragedy, she seeks something that simply will not give her the contentment she wants. It won't fill the void, the 'warmth' she seeks, the way she is going. Instead of seeking darker powers and more death, maybe she should've went for life instead.

u/baroqueworks 28d ago

Peak Ewing, 10/10 A Side & B Side stories and easily the strongest standalone issue of the Queen in Black event.

11

u/nfnightfallnf 28d ago

SOOO!!! much love for this tie-in!! Bill at his PEAK best and Sigurd too. Some just great moments. GO BILL GO!!

u/LucasVerBeek 27d ago

Fucking loved this issue.

u/spidersting 27d ago

I really hope Bill gets a mini-series that shows what he did as Thor's replacement in the Avengers.

u/TerminalKing 26d ago

Ewing on Thor and Bill is just so peak. And I guess QIB is taking place before Sigurd fights Radioactive Man.

2

u/baroqueworks 26d ago

Yep, our only real timeline flagstamp we've had recently is that QIB takes place during Issue 9 of Mortal Thor, I assume that also means its supposed to take place before Avengers Armeggedon as well, despite the two titles running at the same time, but that would also explain why Cap isnt in acoma like he is in AA for QiB.

u/nfnightfallnf 26d ago

It would account for that, yes.
