[ULTIMATE IMPACT: REBORN #4]()

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/tehawesomedragon]

Yea I don't feel anything for all these new characters. This continues to be a terrible way to 'tie in' with the Ultimate Universe.

Honestly, the only way to save this would be to have Nova show up to show this Hosticulus what happened to Annihilus. And have him do the same to him.

[u/Expensive-Baby-1391 → u/wowlock_taylan]

Only for Nova to spare him for some insane reason like Annihilus’s general who he spared for sole reason in Jed’s mini run.

Also, best ending for this would be to kill off all the new characters or have them all become villains since nobody cares about the MCU anymore.

[u/MillionDollarMistake → u/tehawesomedragon]

oh, it's more MCU synergy. neat i guess.
