"My god, I heard rumors of a place like that. Honestly, I thought it was a joke. Who the hell would be so stupid as to build a prison in the Infinite Murderbug Dimension?"

"Infinite Murderbug and Living Bomb-Burst Dimension, thank you very much. And according to my spies, Tony Stark and Reed Richards."

"...yeah, that fits."

Tony: Well, where else would you put an immoral prison?

Starlord: Maybe just not build one?

Tony: Clearly, you know nothing of science.

Faced with having to mete out some punishment to Peter Quill for attacking him (and maybe also his part in the Phalanx business of last year), but unable to kill him because he's still popular with the Kree, Ronan instead banishes him to the Negative Zone.
Now, whether he hoped Blastaar would kill him, or just drive him insane by incessantly demanding he be referred to as a king is one of those great mysteries.

Also, the reveal of just what happened with the Kree during Secret Invasion is both impressive and quite terrifying.
Normally when people talk about mountains of bodies it's just a metaphor...

Random aside: I do miss the cohesive team uniform look.
Major Victory's letting the side down a little. He could at least let someone paint a red stripe on him somewhere.
