Bill has found a way. I'll spoil it if you really want to know.

Well, it's not like I am ever going to read that. So spoil away, good man. In a PM, if you wish.

Hell I'll do it here. I doubt anyone else will read it either. But just in case. . .SPOILERS
Whenever Galactus eats a planet (or drains its life force if you want to be technical) he sounds out his heralds and most planets with people on it evacuate. Bill is now beating Galactus to the punch. Once the planet no longer has life on it, Bill is going to destroy the planet before Galactus can eat it. Essentially he's going to try and starve Galactus.

Oh. And Galactus' heralds allow that to happen?

Bill beat the crap out of the current herald Stardust. Keep in mind Bill's on a power scale with Thor so he's right on par with the heralds. But he's also pissed since Galactus ate his home planet so there's a rage issue going on. Next issue is going to be Bill vs. Silver Sufer.

Galactacus?
+ 
Foolz said:Why doesn't he just kill Bill?
Umm, I think someone already beat him to it.
Foolz said:Umm, but where are the people evacuating to? There's like billions of planets. Can't Galactacus travel very far? He can fucking eat planets. Why doesn't he just kill Bill?
You're about to bring out the nasty fan boy in me, just so you know.
Galactus can travel wherever he wants but Bill can fly faster. And Galactus could kill bill assuming that A. He could catch him, and B. Quentin Tarantino doesn't sue him for copyright infrindgement.

I don't know which is scarier. The fact that you made a LazyTown reference or the fact that I got it.
gamingeek said:I know Beta ray bill. Why does he want Galactus dead?
Galactus ate his home planet. His people didn't successfully evacuate in time, and virtually all died on the planet or fighting him.

So if he's so fast why doesn't he fly into Galactus' eyeballs, blinding him, then head for the testicles, castrating him, and finally fly into his mouth and down his throat, choking him?
Why didn't his people evacuate when pretty much all other ones do? Is Beta Ray Bill from a race of stupid, fast people or something?

I don't read a lot of Batman these days. Once Grant Morrison took over the character last year it killed all interest in me. His stories are either absolutely love them or absolutely hate them. No middle ground. And for Batman, sadly it was just terrible.
But I did pick up the first two issues of Batman and Robin since it seemed like a good point to get back on board. . . I'm still undecided. Damian is just a little shit and frankly unlikeable enough for me not to even want to read the book.
Just give me Frank Miller's All Star Batman and Robin and I'll be quite happy (you know. . . on the years he decides to write it).

I can see where you are coming from. I hated the whole run of Batman RIP. For whatever reason I do like the dynamic between Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne. Damian is a little shit, and I guess I kinda like that. That said, I can't wait for Bruce to be back, and for Tim Drake to resume being Robin.
Like I said in my last post though, the real standout for me right now is Detective Comics.
Beta Ray Bill: God Hunter
I'm a bit of a comic book junkie and I've decided to start sharing my habit with you guys. Anyway this week a book came across my pull list that is getting ignored or only getting so-so reviews. I'm surprised as hell because it's really one of the best books I've read in ages. Unfortunately it features a character that most comic geeks don't know much about, Beta Ray Bill.
Anyway I'll skip with all the backgrounds and motive for the story, but here's the plot. Beta Ray Bill - Thor's horse faced oath brother - is taking the fight to Galactus. Seriously, he's out to kill Galactus one and for all. For those of you not in the know, let me size that up for you. On a power scale that's kind of like a Little Goomba trying to kill an Invincible Star Mario. Not to say Bill's not powerful as hell - he's equal in power to Thor after all. But, you just don't try and kill Galactus.
However, he has a plan. It's simple, shockingly logical, and even Galactus immediately recognizes it as a threat. But is it moral? Well, that's a different discussion, but there aren't a whole lot of other heroes trying to help him out here and a few of them may even be lining up to stop him.
So for those of you who enjoy comic books from time to time, pick this up. A little prior knowledge of the character is necessary. I'm happy to share it, but you could get it all by picking up the trade paperback of his last big mini series, Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill.
