The number of the beast is 666 by William Blake.
The Number of the Beast (Greek: Ἀριθμὸς τοῦ θηρίου, Arithmos tou Thēriou) is a term in the Book of Revelation, of the New Testament, that is associated with the Beast of Revelation in chapter 13.[1] In most manuscripts of the New Testament and in English translations of the Bible, the number of the beast is 666. Papyrus 115 (which is the oldest preserved manuscript of the Revelation as of 2017), as well as other ancient sources like Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, give the Number of the Beast as 616 (χιϛ), not 666;[2][3] critical editions of the Greek text, such as the Novum Testamentum Graece, note 616 as a variant.[4]

Why else would Marvel name their main universe "616"

Not to be that guy who keeps on asking questions, but why is Marvel so obsessed with this trash ass LGBT Dora Milaje duo when Shuri, the most popular female character in Black Panther and rebirthed MCU national treasure, can't sniff a solo, mini, or one-off special?

How come instead of a Shuri, Nakia, Okoye mini... they're instead pairing Okoye with the dyke Doras to run a hit piece on Nakia to prop up Storm, with no Shuri in sight?

I want an honest option from the coli comic congregation

Shuri needs representation too

Heterosexual black female lives matter


This isn't the first time the dyke duo had a chance. Remember World of Wakanda? No? Don't worry, because no one else did either

How many chances these Doras gon get before the GOAT Disney Princess gets a reup? Why they gotta come for Nakia's neck in the meantime?

 

[Primetime]

How come in the movie, Coogler, Lupita, Okoye specifically talk about not wanting black female dysfunction in their story... but Marvel hires a black female writer who wants nothing but black female dysfunction in this Dora story?

How come Bendis jacked the idea of MCU Shuri and called her Riri? dikk move Bendis!


So many questions!

i think i was in this thread saying "what the fukk is MARVEL doing right now with these two?"


is what it is.

shyt actually got a lil better towards the end imo

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Marvel Unlimited is only $0.02 for the first month today

Good thing I waited a few days before signing up.

When did JL 2 drop? How did I miss it?

Was it revealed what was coming to Earth?

 

[Mr. Negative]

So Marvel went all in on The Inhumans to replace the X-Men, shyt didn't work, they paid and got Mutants back, now they're killing the inhumans.

okay.


But..... the petty shyt is they're using a dude that looks like Black Bolt from Earth X to do it. Oh, the irony.

Y'all ain't shyt, Marvel.

Still don't know what's coming to Earth but we got more of Lex assembling the Legion of Doom, John Stewart showed up and the comic took a turn into being the DC version of the movie Annihilation.

Yeah idk why they couldn't just let 'em coexist. Let Black Bolt kill of GOAT Summers, breh

Inhumans dont even have a lot of interesting characters, so I was wondering how it was gonna hold up.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Is anyone else not feeling this new Avengers series?
Four issues in and I just don't give a damn about the Celestials coming back, I ate the team of Avengers that has been assembled and never liked the concept of the "Original Avengers" that Odin was a part of...it is just so blah in every way possible to me.
The only thing I am liking is Ed McGuinness on art.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Man, that BatCat deal was some bullshyt. All these teasers, variants, extra comics for nothing. Fukking DC and its trickery.

I actually liked how it ended (wasn't a big fan of the filler pages from all the different artists) because the idea that Batman needed his pain and anger to be an effective batman has been a seed that Tom King has been dropping all through this story and the final page surprise makes what comes next seem like it will be really good.
