Our favorite queen is back to chat about issue 13 of Quasar, in which our hero meets up with the Squadron Supreme (herein referred to as "The Supremes." Episode art by Phillip Sevy!
Again, like we talked about the last issue that I was here, issue 11, I'm quasar is a very very very sad man and uh he's not very good at his job and he never like stops to take time to like figure out what's happening and i feel like in this issue in particular because like i was already thinking that after reading the last issue and then when i when i was reading this and i was like dude slow down ask questions like figure out what's going on because he gets into a load of trouble in this one
He was in a little trouble last issue in issue 12.
And subscribe.
And he got into a battle.
Luckily, Makari was there asking no questions.
I was
going to say, so what happened there? Makari woke up and was like, hey, let's be best friends.
He woke up, and I'm flipping to it right now because there is a really dumb battle where Quasar intentionally gets his ass handed to him up on Mars because he needs to feel something.
And so he goes back and he's like, oh, West Coast Avengers, where's Makari? And Simon's like, he's gone.
Good
So he constructs a little observation net around Earth, so when something does come from outer space to try to kill Eon, it'll set off a little alarm.
An alarm immediately goes off.
He...
bit.
Yeah.
So then he's like, oh, no, let's be friends.
