Well, that was anticlimactic.

Anyone else read Illuminati #4? (Guest starring Marvel Boy.)

While I'm glad that finally other books are treating GMoz's Marvel Boy like it actually happened (this, Young Avengers/Runaways, the Order)... I do rather wish that most of them got the character right. *shrug*

I can't get spoiler code to work so SPOILER:

The Illuminati show up at the Cube and try and convince Noh-Varr to become Captain Marvel.

The end.

Man. I read this at this store, and i ws just appalled, as a marvel boy fan.

this goes beyond not getting the original, or the intent, to the point where you're willfully ignoring the characterisation of noh-varr and his motives.

firstly, It's clear that noh-varr is from an other dimensional branch of the kree, not the '616' kree, so that's just laziness.

and then you take his fairly complex grievances and philosophical arguements and reduce that to 'he's a spoiled brat who just needs to dress up like mar-vell'. So much for the alien jihad to spread zen fascism.

way to bring down the buzz, guys...

I talked about it over in this thread. No more Illuminati for me; virtually everything about this issue was clunky, out-of-character, or dubious.
