Hey there Spider-philes, JD and MasterFilmMakerMarkMackner back again for this weeks Web-Up. More Gauntlet going on, this time returning to the Rhino Vs Rhino storyline from a couple issues back. As you'll recall, unless you're really bad at recalling things, the Old Rhino (Aleksei Sytsevich) has fallen in love and given up wearing the inpenetrable hide to be with his beloved Oksana. However, a douche has gotten himself a more techsavvy version of the Rhino suit and wields a scythe (cause Rhinos...do that?) and has it in his lil brain that he needs to defeat the Aleksei in order to "ascend" into being the new Rhino.

Comic Quickies - Realm of Kings One Shot

Under my work clothes, I'm sporting a Black Lantern tshirt, so I'm no stranger to space stories. But for some reason I have trouble giving anything akin to a crap about the Cosmic section of the Marvel publishing line. However my buddy Pete picks up all these cosmic titles and seems to dig it, so I says to myself: "Self. Read this shit." (I like to demean myself with disrespectful commands to my...self)

the GOOD:
- I can see why people dig this, even if I'm not a huge fan.
- "I am Groot!" ...made me laugh. though reminiscent of "I am Baaaytor" from Garth Ennis' amazing Hitman series.


the BAD:
- got bored just by reading the "Previously" page.
- evil alternate versions of our characters, coming to GIT us! oh noes! (how many times are we gonna see this? See: Marvel Zombies, JLA: Earth-2, Infinity War, so on, so forth)

the MEH:
- The art. Not great, not terrible. Definitely meh.

I'm hoping that once I get my head fully into the Cosmic fragment of the Marvel U, and get to know all the characters, that I'll care more..I'm willing to give it a shot, but so far, I'm not blown away.
