    Yes. That and the Authority book by Morrison with Clark as their leader (which is supposed to be in the future). I don't mind Jon. I like him. I do feel aging him up was a mistake, but that is another matter. I just find it too much of a "coincidence" that this drops around the same time when DC was originally going to do 5G. Marvel serving up a universe more DC than the one that was supposed to drop with 5G.
    Not really a issue.

    I just find it uninspired that we are getting the same alternate universe type storyline we've seen countless times before. Ed's art was a treat. I get what Aaron is going for, but that guy hasn't delivered much that I've liked in years now. Still, just the first issue. Hopefully he serves up some surprises because these often play out the same way and it is looking like Mephisto's stink is all over this.

    For the continued list of Mini-Giantesses I want to throw in Volcana in there at 6’5”.

    Though I’m surprised perhaps that in HR#1 Zarda got like one page of content and that was it? Just her facing off against All Gogg.

    It's the point of that universe, it's not as complicated and well developed as the current comics, this are simply the Squadron are the greatest heroes who always win and they defeat the villains, even killing them.

    The Silver Age dialogue is done to make a point that the current universe is based on those comics and that old world, even exagerating the personality of the characters.
    This is sorta my point: You don't have to like what Aaron is doing to recognize that he's doing it. You can still hate him and it.

    Volcana is big but not super-strong like all of the other ladies on the listings.

    She can be quite strong, when she shifts to her Volcanic Rock form (I'm assuming we are talking about Marsha Rosenberg Volcana?).

    And there's Titania, who frequently appears as a villain in She Hulk stories. She is a like a sister in power to Volcana since they were both created by Doom in Secret Wars . Some Marvel Handbooks list her at 6'6"

    Right. For awhile, Titania was the strongest one, until old Shulkie moved up.

    I always liked that Titania and Crusher Creel stayed together after all this time. I think they did have one break up but it didn't last long.

    Black Bolt (2017) was great in showing that. Also it looks like they may be joining Gamma Flight...

    I wonder though with the Butterfly Effect where everyone is in the series. Something like Secret Wars must have happened if the Symbiote is around and possessed by the Black Skull but maybe Titania and Volcana were never created - or the former transferred her rivalry to Power Princess.

    When Steve Rogers gets out of his ice I wonder what Black Skull’s reaction will/would be?

    I'm sure there will be much more for Zarda in this event. I know Hyperion appears on just about every cover, but imho Zarda is the more compelling character between the two. Of course, I feel that way about Superman and Wonder Woman as well. If Superman was the only character in all of comics, I never would have become a comic book fan.

    If she does anything to hurt Kamala Khan I’ll get the pitchforks and torches ready.

    Ha ha! Well, technically this is an alternate Earth Kamala, so anything is possible and anything goes. Safe disclaimer: "The real, main Earth Kamala was not harmed in the making of this event."
