I literally laughed out loud at the "Are we there yet?" joke. So much coughing :p

"Don't make me turn this shuttle around."

Also, rock-paper-scissors-NULLIFIER.

Not even "....Lizard Spock?"

Would "Nullifier" beat "Infinity Gauntlet"? :)

What would the hand gesture for "Infinity Gauntlet" be?

[icon_uk]

Like stone, but hand turned the other way around, so the back of the hand faces out.

Like this, sort of

When Quasar's playing, but only to make him feel better.

Your geek fu is strong! ;)

Is Wendell still the only person in the mainstream MU who has actually used the Ultimate Nullifier?

I like Mark Bagley, but he can absolutely not draw children. They look like very short teens at best and miniature adults at worst... and it's not even consistent, because Franklin and Valerie change their apparent ages between panels here. It's most noticable with Valerie, who's supposed to be four years old here, but in some panels she looks at least ten, if not older.

I loved the fact that Ben jumped from space to come to the rescue. Also, it looks like Batman isn't the only one who doesn't need a breathing apparatus in space. ; p

I love the idea that this thing is a predator that feeds on space travelers. I wonder if it has eaten any heralds?

I see Bagley's art headaches continues with the kids. Not only does Val and Franklin appear to be the same age (they're not) but he basically draws Valeria as a smaller version of Sue (complete with the same face) and it's hard to know from panel to panel who's supposed to be who (in a story where Valeria is 4 at most and Sue is a grown woman).

Oversized children aside, I love how Reed just lets his children pull at his face like that. He may be a bit of a dick at times, but he's a pretty cool dad when he wants to be.
Also, I lol'd when it turned out it was Johnny, and not one of the kids, who was doing the 'are we there yet' bit. It amazes me how a fully grown man can be more childish than a four year old, and it doesn't come off as creepy or weird.

Damn, if I weren't currently broke I'd be adding this to my pull list. Meh, with Spider-Man dropped and Secret Avengers ending, I might have some room.
