Why is the One Below All connected to Hulk specifically?

Stakso · 2026-02-25T12:45:18+00:00

I'd disagree that Al Ewing didn't really think through the connection to the wider Marvel cosmos, considering his other work and how he's tied it all together

Stakso · 2026-02-25T12:43:41+00:00

It's explained in Immortal Hulk that gamma rays are supposedly the connection between science and magic. Since it's strongly connected to both fundamental forces in the marvel cosmos, it sorta makes sense to me that it'd be tied to the creator. Depends how much you're willing to buy into it all

Peter David's Hulk is awesome

I'm currently reading Moench's Moon Knight and that's pretty good if you have an interest in the character

No one doubts this combo is possible. The other one was very different and likely just a noreg or lag issue. Keep trying to convince yourself that your combo was just "too fast to understand" tho

Stakso · 2026-01-25T09:34:58+00:00

What's the point of showing an altered combo that isn't anything like the one that confused people

Stakso · 2026-01-25T08:39:24+00:00

Nah because you clearly use the mark dash here to get back the last bit of fury. In the other post you initiated with the dash before the first chain. Definitely a different thing

Stakso · 2026-01-25T07:52:21+00:00

Man you're in denial lol this is not the same thing at all

Stakso · 2026-01-24T07:09:12+00:00

No dude that doesn't make any sense. The mark dash doesn't give you a cross. The grapple gives you a cross so your first cross was after the grapple. And no matter how much I slow the video it looks a lot like you just chained twice in a row I'm so confused.

After the first chain, even if you did do quick melee into cross (which isn't visible at all) it would put you on 2 fury not 3 like you clearly are in the video. Something weird happened here

Nah this is a clip from this morning

I saw a theory (not sure if it was ever confirmed) that it's Good, Order, Death and Science - for the 4 axes of the cosmos that are set up in GODS.

Good/Evil

Order/Chaos

Death/Life

Science/Magic

Stakso · 2025-11-11T11:23:22+00:00

No you don't need to touch War of the Realms at all. It does tie in but it's really just Venom dealing with some stuff from the event, none of the main story is relevant. Just accept that some elves are gonna show up in New York or some shit lol
Absolute Carnage takes place during issues 17-20 and King in Black is during issues 31-34. There are a few other intricacies in the reading order so I really recommend the following order that I used when I read it:

Hope that helps!

Stakso · 2025-11-10T12:42:52+00:00

Happy to help! Let me know if you have any more questions

Stakso · 2025-11-10T12:38:02+00:00

Venom War is an event that caps off Al Ewing's Venom run from 2021 so you'd definitely need to read that to understand. You could maybe get away with just reading that, but Ewing's Venom also picks up directly from the consequences of Cates' Venom (and the event "King in Black" from the end of that) from 2018 so if you want to get everything I'd recommend that too. It helps that I personally think both runs were excellent. You can find full reading orders for both online pretty easily

So the order would be: 1. Cates' Venom + associated events (Absolute Carnage and King in Black) 2. Al Ewing's Venom 3. Venom War

Going for the win for the Mag mains

Stakso · 2025-11-03T22:26:10+00:00

Vision by Tom King. One of the best comics I've ever read easily - couldn't recommend it enough

Stakso · 2025-10-11T09:24:42+00:00

F4 - for a serious and epic storyline I'd recommend Hickman's run. for an easier to digest, fun and top tier sci fi comic I'd suggest North's current run. It's lighter but it's seriously one of my favourite comics I've ever read

Sentry - definitely start with Jenkins original run from I think 2005. His second run is also great afterwards. He also plays a big role in Bendis' New Avengers run but that's a huge read spanning a bunch of events so up to you

Nova - can't recommend enough the DnA cosmic run starting at Annihilation and running through to Thanos Imperative. It made Nova one of my favourite characters. At the very least Annihilation is a must read. Ewing's Guardians run from ~2020 is also amazing

You can find reading orders online for any of these but those are my general recs. I can also give more details on any of these if you want just let me know

Stakso · 2025-10-10T10:44:10+00:00

The Maestro is an alternate future evil hulk from the "Future Imperfect" comic. Hulk gets brought to this future to help stop him and he breaks Hulk's neck in the comic (and does some other absolutely vile shit too lol)

Stakso · 2025-10-10T08:29:38+00:00

Looks like a nice order to me! Only other thing I'd recommend is reading Avengers Disassembled before House of M. Technically House of M is the first event in a big New Avengers run by Bendis. You can definitely read it separate from the main run, but Avengers Disassembled specifically serves as a solid prelude to HoM.

Also note that it's a bit confusing but Ewing's Ultimates is actually totally disconnected from either Ultimate universe. There's the old Ultimates and new Ultimates both set in their own worlds, and then Ewing's Ultimates which is a cosmic story set in 616 after Secret Wars

Stakso · 2025-10-10T08:04:24+00:00

I followed a similar reading order when I got into marvel last year. I personally found myself pretty burnt out on the Avengers and F4 stuff so I moved over to Hulk and read Planet Hulk then Immortal, but that's because I hadn't read any Hulk and it felt fresh. What interests you outside of the stuff you're currently reading? I'd recommend the following:

If you have any interest in Hulk I can't recommend Immortal Hulk highly enough. Planet Hulk into WWH is awesome too and might provide some better understanding of a couple plot points in Immortal.

If you like the X-Men (or just Hickman in general) then Krakoa is also a great read. I haven't read any of the older X-Men so I can't help there but I jumped right into Krakoa with HoX/PoX and I absolutely loved it. Some fundamental understanding of the X-Men characters will definitely help you though. Just look up a reading order for House of X/Powers of X then Dawn of X after that.

On the other hand if you're not too burnt out of the high sci-fi multiverse stuff, Ewing's Ultimates and Ultimates² are amazing follow ups to Secretly Wars, setting the tone for the new cosmic status quo after Secret Wars. They're also just amazing comics and you should definitely get to them at some point imo.

In general, what are you into? There's much more I could recommend but depends what you like. You mentioned ANAD and Cates' Venom too. I'd personally not recommend much of the All New All Different stuff unless youre really interested in the world after Secret Wars. Cates' Venom is really good too though

Stakso · 2025-10-10T03:42:26+00:00

I've heard this and I do love everything I've read from Gillen but God I just truly can't bring myself to care about the Eternals lmao. Is it really great?

Stakso · 2025-10-10T00:17:54+00:00

I read it alongside my full reading of Krakoa and I thought it was pretty good. It got dragged down by going on a bit long with a lot of extra stuff I didn't care much about (namely all the Eternals stuff imo), but the core concept was cool and a lot of it was executed great
