It’s an
all-out Beyonder vs. Protégé Battle Royale! (If you believe the cover art)
We
actually start out by checking in on the Galactic Guardians, who are trying to
figure out where the Guardians have gone.
Instead of figuring this out, we get a history lesson of things we’ve
seen happen in the recent past. A recap
is never a bad thing, when it doesn’t leave you with much, and feels like it
was there to take up space it’s sad though.
When we
do get to the Guardians themselves, they’re still chatting about Vance’s new
suit. As they are marveling at the
wonders of Vance’s alien suit, an earthquake hits, knocking everyone off their
feet and throwing Charlie into a pit.
Yellowjacket saves him by shrinking him with her Pym particles and
everyone is safe and unharmed.
We
check in on Starhawk and Aleta who are checking in on Yondu’s homeworld. It is safe and ready to be destroyed at a
later date. I love happy endings.
Now it
is time to look in on the Beyonder and the Protégé, to see what they’ve been up
to. Oh, just hanging out with all of the
cosmic gods, that’s all, no biggie. To
show how cool they are, the Protégé and Beyonder grow as big as the Gods and
try to destroy Eternity. Considering the
fact that Eternity is the Marvel embodiment of the universe, this is a pretty
stupid idea. Luckily It doesn’t work as
eternity just reincorporates himself. This
causes a big argument because apparently the Protégé thinks he should be able
to destroy the universe if he so chooses.
At this point I realized that Joffrey from Game of Thrones must be based on the Protégé, at least in terms of
his temperament. Think about it for a
second.
Back
with the Guardians, Mephisto is tired of getting his ass kicked so he decides
to turn into the giant dread-locked bird creature with the big gut and the long
tongue. You know, his formalwear. As Talon is about to fight back, he is
blasted in the back by Malevolence, to which he exclaims “unnngh! My Back!”
while looking like nothing is wrong.
Come on, West, let’s see some acting.
As the
Guardians fight Mephisto, Hollywood is on the trail of Doom, which brings him
to Overkill, who has the Realiteevee nasal implant that Sidestep provided to
him last issue. As Hollywood goes to
recover the implant Overkill ambushes him and he goes flying. Why Overkill wants to harm Hollywood so much
beyond the fact that he wears a Guardian star I have no idea. However that explains why no one wants to be
part of the club. It’s like walking
through Philadelphia with a Dallas Cowboys jersey on. Bad news.
Next
issue: Hollywood vs. Overkill. The
matchup no one wanted.
