New Retro Marvel Game Features Iconic Thor and Non-MCU Silver Surfer

Sure, let’s dive into this messy ride. So, there are these two fresh faces, crashing the superhero party—joining the likes of Captain America, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. Yeah, it’s Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Why is it always “Cosmic”? Sounds cool though, right?

Now, here’s the scoop on Beta Ray Bill. This dude isn’t your traditional superhero. Picture this: he’s kind of horse-faced, got some cybernetic flair—like Thor’s distant cousin from another planet. Korbinite, to be exact. And guess what? He swings this badass hammer called Stormbreaker. Fun fact: there was this time, in The Mighty Thor No. 337, I think, where he had a go with Mjolnir itself. Bizarre, right? Walt Simonson, the creative brain behind this, really had some wild ideas.

And then we’ve got the Silver Surfer. This guy’s surfing the cosmos on his board, wielding something called the Power Cosmic—whatever that truly means. He’s out there battling Annihilus’ creepy-crawly space army. I mean, who dreams up this stuff?

Ah, and I caught the buzz from San Diego Comic-Con. They were dropping new tidbits on the game’s voice cast. Oh, and for all you button-mashers, Marvel Cosmic Invasion’s heading to pretty much every gaming platform you can think of later this year. Xboxes, PlayStations, your ol’ faithful PC—name it. Might be one heck of a chaotic ride. Here’s hoping.
