Good memory!

I also wonder if he got any benefits from being stationed on Arakko as liasion and security expert. I known Krakoan/Arakkoan economy was based on mushrooms and stuff but surely they would have at least given him SOME repayment.

That's true yes seems like he'd get something for that

It’s not like Rich needs the money. As the hero of the annihilation wave, I doubt he’s had to pay for a drink in a bar ever since he ripped that one guy‘s guts out through his mouth. Everybody knows his name!

I remember that actually being established in an issue somewhere. I can't remember where that was but I remember him being in a bar, the bartender recognizing him, and giving him a drink on the house.

comicfoil.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m sure it did. But I couldn’t tell you what comic either. I have a horrible memory.

Which makes it even weirder than the one-shot has him Merc for Money. You'd think he could rock up to whatever species he saved from Annihilus (or the Cancerverse or-) and ask them for a loan.

Hopefully Jed McKay comes through with an interesting angle for the one shot.

I had to go check for the Proscenium’s name. 😝

Which of course got me to read GotG V6 # 7&8 and realize Imperial feels a bit too much like a large scale retelling of Al Ewing’s two part whodunit.

Ewing being so underappreciated in his time is depressing.

1000%

I’m getting a bit depressed by all this “reshuffling of the cosmic deck” talk when it was already done incredibly
well four years ago… and then dropped.

comradebullski.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah Empyre was not long enough ago that I wanted another big event throwing empires and superhumans together this soon. And I am not sold on the "ignore everything that's going on with these characters" aspect either. But there's a lot of issues left so we'll see...

comicfoil.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, I’m just so happy all my favorite cosmic characters are back and doing my best to enjoy Imperial for what it is and ignore what it isn’t. Or should be.
