In Case You're Just Joining Us: Suzy Sherman, aka Ultra Girl, was attacked on the set of the soap opera Secret Hospital by an enraged Super Skrull. Their battle attracted the attention of a bunch of other young NYC heroes, and just as this ragtag band was starting to come together in their efforts against the Skrull, the lot of them were teleported to a place called "The Databank", where a Skrull super-computer named Intelligentsia informed them that Ultra Girl, as a Kree/human hybrid, was the key to reclaiming the Skrull's rightful place in the cosmos.

A mass of New York City police officers and members of the city work crews were scattered all along the Empire State University campus. Yellow police tape held concerned bystanders and the occasional bothersome reporter out of the area. Earlier there had been a film crew here taping an episode of the soap opera Secret Hospital, but they were long gone now. Still, they had drawn quite a crowd. Now the crowd had found a new focus.

Eddie McDonough listened to the buzz of the people around him and gathered enough information to figure out what had happened. Apparently some sort of monster from the sky had come down and started attacking the campus. Some heroes had gotten involved and from the descriptions, Eddie could tell that Ricochet had been one of them.* When Eddie and Johnny Gallo had shared space on the Slingers as the heroes Hornet and Ricochet, Johnny had always been prone to trouble. It seemed as if things hadn't changed since those days at all.

[* A somewhat skewed perception of what actually happened last issue - Dino]

"Oh man, Johnny," Eddie whispered under his breath. "What have you gotten yourself into this time?"

"Oh man. What did I get myself into this time?" said Johnny Gallo to himself as he regarded the scene before him. In front of him was a big bowl of Jello with a wrinkly green face in it that had too many eyes. It was really the only way Johnny could describe it. It called itself the Intelligent-She, or something like that. Ricochet wasn't honestly sure about that part. All he knew was that somehow it was connected with the alien race known as the Skrull.

The big nut-job next to the bowl of Jello was called the Super Skrull. He had a real name that the bowl of Jello had called him by, but Rico wasn't about to try and pronounce it. Maybe Mr. Fantastic could do it. But those types of names weren't meant for human tongues.

Basically what had happened was the good guys had fought the bad guy and the good guys had been doing a darn fine job. Then suddenly the bad guy had got an even badder bowl of Jello to cheat for him. Now they were stuck in some place that looked like the set for a cheap Outer Limits episode, and the bowl of Jello said she had done it all for the blond cutie that was standing behind them.* Ricochet glanced over at the blond cutie in question and noticed that she wasn't looking very steady. Not that he would either, if the roles were reversed.

[* Another somewhat skewed perspective of the events last issue - Dino]

"Intelligensia," Turbo said, trying to get the attention of the large presence in the tank before her. Mickey Muashi had seen some strange things in her time as a New Warrior. But this was certainly the strangest. "You've got to understand our position here. We can't allow you to just attack the Earth and then take Ultra Girl here without..."

Turbo would have continued, but she was knocked to the ground as Ultra Girl forced herself past both Turbo and Bolt and rocketed towards the tank holding Intelligensia within. She reared back her fist to strike the tank, hoping to smash it and send the Intelligensia to whatever afterlife the Skrull race had.

In a flash of movement that Ultra Girl could barely register, the Super Skrull was hovering in front of her. His large, rock-covered hand caught her fist and then with his other hand he slapped Ultra Girl roughly to the floor.

"Hey now, that's not very nice," said Ricochet as he plucked a throwing disc from his jacket and threw it directly towards the Super Skrull's head. The Super Skrull raised his hand and fired a burning jet of flame that incinerated the disc before it got to him. The flame continued down on its path and struck the floor. Ricochet was just barely able to dodge in time.

"Ok, potato-chip chin. I've had just about enough from you," Ricochet said and jumped on Spider-Woman's back. Mattie Franklin's knees buckled momentarily under the pressure and she wavered slightly before regaining her balance.

"What are you doing, Rico-moron!" Spider-Woman screeched.

"Give me a boost, Spider-Girl," said Ricochet and Mattie scowled.

"My name is Spider-Woman!" she hollered, and threw Ricochet towards the Super Skrull. The force with which Ricochet hurtled through the air disoriented him for a split second, but his super reflexes adjusted him just in time. He reared back a fist to strike the Super Skrull and then felt all the breath rush out of him as something tackled him from behind.

Turbo rushed towards the ceiling with Ricochet and then raced back to the floor. She let him fall from her arms and the young hero turned towards her in anger.

"What did you do that for?" Ricochet complained as Turbo looked at him with an expression of equal irritation.

"You could have gotten yourself killed. The Super Skrull is a serious threat," Turbo said and then Ricochet was in motion, kicking her in the chest and back-flipping in the opposite direction. A jet of flame crashed into the floor where Turbo had been standing.

"You ain't kidding," said Ricochet.

"Enough of this," said Intelligensia calmly and all of the figures gathered before her clutched their heads as pain ripped through them. The waves of agony soon pushed the heroes into unconsciousness. The Super Skrull rose shakily from his knees.

"That's the second time you've failed to warn me before you acted, Intelligensia. I will not be treated thus!" the Super Skrull said, his eyes glowing with anger.

"Once again, a necessary means to an end, my good Captain Kl'rt. Take the prisoners to the specially crafted cells. All but the Kree girl, of course. I will take care of her myself," said Intelligensia and the Super Skrull clenched his fists, the pads of his fingers going aflame and biting into his flesh to still the maddened response that rose to his lips.

"Why did the Kree girl attack so suddenly? It was as if she was provoked in some manner," asked Kl'rt and the Intelligensia smiled as she examined the unconscious Ultra Girl lying on the floor of the Databank.

"She is Kree. And being so, she has an engrained terror of the Skrull. My presence along with yours magnified the effect until it was irresistible. She attacked because she felt no other option was available to her," said the Intelligensia and the Super Skrull nodded. The Kree were a puzzling race. He didn't like having one of them in the Databank. But, as he was continually being reminded, it wasn't up to him to decide. He gathered the other young heroes and began to carry them to the cells.

"Wait. There was another one here with the rest," stated the Super Skrull with fury in his tone.

"Yes. The one called Spider-Woman has apparently slipped from your clutches, my dear Captain," replied the Intelligensia. Super Skrull glanced up at her only briefly before he looked back to the door leading to other parts of the complex.

"Summon some of the Skrull soldiers to take these ones to the cells. I must find this... Spider-Woman," roared the Super Skrull and took to the air. Intelligensia watched him leave and then summoned some of the personal guard of the Databank to carry the heroes away.

"Now, child," said the Intelligensia as she commanded medical androids to sprout from the wall and pick up Ultra Girl. "Let us begin."

Mattie Franklin was in trouble. The mental assault that Intelligensia had performed had hurt, but it hadn't put her down for the count. She had managed to slip away while the Super Skrull was arguing about his own headache. She had found some sort of ventilation tube running throughout the complex and had jumped inside without thinking. But now she was stuck. The Super Skrull wasn't a pushover. She'd actually hesitated to jump into the battle with him inside the Databank for specifically that reason.

Plus, Ricochet was a hothead. Jumping the Super Skrull like that was suicide. In her anger, Mattie had thrown the loudmouth right at the Super Skrull and if it hadn't been for Turbo, he'd probably have been pasted.

Not exactly the sort of thing Spidey would do, thought Mattie as she sat in the ventilation ducts and bit her fingernails. The duct she was in smelled awful and there was some sort of film on the sides that made the going slippery. Even with her ability to cling to walls, moving through this mess would be tough.

I have to free the others, Mattie thought to herself and popped the door to the ventilation tube she'd been sitting in. She dropped down and crept silently along the corridors of the Databank, hoping she wouldn't run into any opposition. Finally, she came upon a corridor with a window.

"Oh my lord," said Mattie as she peered through the reinforced glass. The stars looked back at her, and nothing else. They were in space. The Intelligensia had transported them all the way from Earth to some random spot in space. How in the heck were they supposed to get home?

Calm down, Mattie. Calm down. Just think for a second. Think about good old Spidey. What would Spidey do? thought Mattie and her rapidly beating heartbeat slowed and she began to smile as it did. Spidey would find help of course. Spidey would try to free the other heroes and make a big stand against the bad guy.

"If Spidey can do it. So can I," said Mattie and scrambled back into the ventilation tube. She didn't see the Super Skrull watching her silently from the shadows. And she didn't see him begin to follow her.

Ricochet bounced one of his discs off the wall of the cell the young heroes were being held in. It bounded off the wall, then the ceiling, and returned to his hand.

"See? Like magic," he said and Bolt groaned.

"If I'm stuck with you in this cage for another ten minutes I'm going to kill myself," said Bolt as he played with a small charge of electricity between his fingers.

"That's not a bad trick either," said Ricochet and sighed. He again thought back to how he had gotten stuck in this mess. He didn't even know the blond cutie. If the Intelligensia wanted to stick a probe up her butt, why did it have to involve everybody else? Or more accurately, why him?

"Why me!?" Ricochet suddenly shouted and the others jumped. Ricochet burst out laughing and Turbo activated a gust from the turbine on her wrist. Ricochet fell on the ground and the others laughed at him.

"Quiet! All of you!" said the guard and then turned back to face the corridor. There was only one guard, and Turbo thought if they could figure some way to get out of the cell, they could easily take him.

Turbo was a bit more used to being kept in a cage by super-villains, but even she was beginning to wonder why she was here. All she really wanted to do was continue classes at Empire State University and don the Turbo armor when it was needed. This motley band of amateurs she was with now wasn't a team. They were a bunch of goofballs. Not that the Warriors had been seasoned veterans or anything. Hell, she wasn't even a seasoned veteran compared to most.

"Penny for your thoughts," said Bolt. Turbo smiled at him and shook her head.

"I'm just thinking that as a team, we wouldn't cut it too well," replied Turbo and Bolt chuckled.

"You can say that again," said Ricochet and nudged Bolt with his elbow. Bolt pointed his finger at Ricochet and a bit of electricity leapt from it and hit the ground near Ricochet's feet. Ricochet danced away and smiled. Bolt just glared.

"Ok, I can take a hint. Punk," said Ricochet and then crept a little closer anyway. If they were going to get out of here, they were going to have to work together.

Bolt watched Ricochet creep closer and decided to leave him alone. The guy wasn't that bad after all, Chris was just pissed. He had been caught up in this situation at a time when he needed to get caught up in something, but he was still thinking about the police station he had nearly walked into.* Was that still something he wanted to do now? He didn't know, and that was probably most distressing to him out of everything.

[* Last issue -- Dino]

"Man, this is so boring," groaned Ricochet. "I wonder what happened to Spider-Girl. That chick knows how to party."

"That's Spider-Woman, you jerk," said a voice from above and the three incapacitated heroes watched as Spider-Woman jumped from the shadows of the ceiling and attacked the guard. She crouched low as the guard leveled his blaster at her and the shot went high. Spider-Woman grabbed him by the collar of his suit and picked him up over her head. The guard tried to level his weapon again, but Mattie flung him into the opposite wall, where he was knocked unconscious.

"Nice going, Spider-Shakes. Now get us out of here," said Ricochet and Spider-Woman scowled at him.

"I should just leave you here with the lizard heads," said Mattie as she reached for the panel that activated the cell door.

"Since you're so kind as to offer your friend a place to stay, perhaps you would enjoy an extended vacation with the lizard heads as well," said a voice from behind Mattie and the look on the faces of the three in the cell made it apparent who she would see when she turned around.

"Quick, Spider-Girl. The door!" yelled Ricochet and Mattie went for it, but then she was struck from behind by something the others couldn't see. It sent her flying across the corridor and she landed heavily on the ground.

"Never mind," muttered Ricochet as the Super Skrull advanced towards Spider-Woman. "Just kick this guy's butt so we can go home."

"Unlikely," stated the Super Skrull flatly as Spider-Woman launched herself at him. She rammed into an invisible barrier before she got ten feet. A jet of flame nearly collided with her as she tried to clear her head from the blow. Quickness was all that saved her.

"No fair. You're cheating you big lima bean," yelled Ricochet from his cell but the Super Skrull paid him no mind. Spider-Woman went for the panel to the cell door again, but the Super Skrull stretched his body and blocked her path. His arms wrapped around her body and flung her into the wall next to the fallen Skrull guard.

"No chance for you, human. Concede," said the Super Skrull and Mattie clenched her fists. There was no way she was losing to this guy. Spidey could wipe the floor with him. If Spidey could do it, so could she.

She leveled her arms at the Super Skrull and concentrated. Jets of psionic webbing shot from her hands and wrapped around him. The stuff had been the stock-in-trade of Julia Carpenter,* and although they weren't quite as strong as Spidey's webbing, Mattie was sure they'd hold the Super Skrull.

[* The second woman to hold the Spider-Woman title - Dino]

The Super Skrull ignited his arms, burning the webbing slightly, and then flexed his massive frame. The strands snapped from the heat and the pressure within seconds and Mattie cursed under her breath, trying to clear her vision as the psionic feedback lashed across her brain. She'd need something else to beat this guy.

What would Spidey do? What would Spidey do?

"I got it," said Mattie and jumped into the air. She used her spider-like speed and focused her instincts and reflexes to the max of her ability. She didn't allow herself to think, she just moved as quickly as she could, dodging blasts of flame, invisible constructs and rock-like, orange fists. When she was battered down, she got back up and continued on.

"It seems as though you don't have it after all, child," said the Super Skrull as he regarded the slightly winded Spider-Woman standing across from him. Mattie wiped a trickle of blood from her lip and narrowed her eyes. The Super Skrull chuckled without humor. "You haven't laid a hand on me. Soon you'll be too exhausted to move. Easy prey."

"Just bring it on, ugly," said Mattie and the Super Skrull frowned. He fired a jet of flame directly at Spider-Woman and she dodged the strike with amazing speed. The flame shot past her... and incinerated the control panel of the cell holding the three heroes. Mattie had managed to move the Super Skrull to the other side of the hallway, and the blast shattered the control panel in an intensely bright explosion.

The Super Skrull was momentarily blinded and turned his face away from the blast, cursing his own overconfidence. He had committed a rookie mistake in allowing the girl to maneuver him in such a manner. When his vision came back to him and his senses cleared he turned to the cell once more. Standing side-by-side were four young heroes, all with determination and anger fitted onto their features.

"Now," Spider-Woman said as she cracked her knuckles. "Let's try this again."

"You resist me, girl. But it is pointless. You are mine to do with as I wish," Intelligensia stated as she regarded the struggling Ultra Girl on the table before her. Clamps were holding Ultra Girl's arms and legs in a firm grip. Even her fantastic strength couldn't sever the bonds.

"What do you want with me?" asked Ultra Girl weakly. She had never been more frightened in her life. But she was also frustrated with herself. Attacking the Intelligensia and losing control had put the others in danger. She knew that attacking blindly had been a mistake. But as she looked at the Intelligensia now, all she wanted to do was rip from the bonds that held her and attack again.

"I can sense your thoughts, child," said the Intelligensia as the clamps that were holding Ultra Girl were suddenly released. Ultra Girl tried to move, but the Intelligensia was still in control. Suzy was raised into the air away from the examination table and left hovering before the Intelligensia.

"Do not struggle, Suzy Sherman. It is foolish of you to believe that I will not acquire the information I seek," said the Intelligensia, and Ultra Girl stiffened as tendrils of energy sprouted from the Intelligensia's eyes and slithered through the air towards her.

"How do you know my name?" Ultra Girl asked as she continued to struggle against the hold Intelligensia had over her.

"As I said. I can read your thoughts. The energy that you are so frightened of is simply a tool to gather genetic information, my dear. It is a necessary tool and not at all painful," Intelligensia said as the tendrils of energy wrapped themselves around Ultra Girl.

"You see. For many generations the Skrull have been the mortal enemies of the Kree race from which you were born. But even though the Kree are far inferior to us in terms of evolutionary potential, they have somehow managed to splice their genes with those of the human race on occasion." The Intelligensia spoke as the tendrils of energy did their work. Ultra Girl noticed flashes of light that illuminated the tendrils of energy to an even brighter state at times. When the flashes occurred, text appeared to be relayed on the glass-like container the Intelligensia was within.

"So who cares about that? What does it have to do with me?" Ultra Girl snapped. She was losing it again and she struggled as hard as she could against the mental control the Intelligensia seemed to have over her. The Intelligensia looked away from the text for a brief moment. Then she smiled and continued to examine it.

"You are human in part, my child. Humans have always had the potential to wield the Destiny Force. Access to such power is one of the reasons your race has survived for so long against those as powerful as the Skrull and the Kree. Still, in order for the Skrull to continue to be superior in all ways to the Kree, we must have the potential to access the Destiny Force by learning how to bond with Humans, as they have. Therefore this examination of you is..." but then the Intelligensia paused and a look of pure shock overcame her features.

"Can it be?" the Intelligensia stated. But she wasn't talking to Ultra Girl, simply to herself.

"Can what be? What do you see?" yelled Ultra Girl at the top of her lungs, but the Intelligensia did not respond. Didn't even seem to hear Ultra Girl. Whatever was on the screens in front of her had so engrossed her that Ultra Girl could even feel the strange power that was holding her up begin to weaken as the Intelligensia examined it.

Suddenly a huge crash sounded throughout the room and both Suzy and the Intelligensia looked in the direction of the sound. Spider-Woman was lying on the ground and the metal door leading into the Intelligensia's chambers was lying in shards. Ricochet came bounding in after her.

"Get up, Spider-Baby. This isn't nap-time," said Ricochet as he bounded over Spider-Woman's head. Spider-Woman got to her feet just as the Super Skrull came sailing into the room and she was barely able to avoid him.

Turbo flew into the room followed closely by Bolt. Turbo was blasting the Super Skrull with the full force of air from her turbines and the Super Skrull was being blown back heavily. Hordes of Skrull soldiers spilled into the room after the heroes and Bolt turned towards them, igniting the electrical powers that were his namesake and blasting their weapons.

"Hey, cutie. Remember me?" said a voice from underneath Ultra Girl, and then she felt the air rush from her lungs as Ricochet collided with her in mid-air. The added weight pulled her from the hold the Intelligensia had over her, and they both crashed to the ground.

"Nice one," said Ultra Girl as she took to the air, hoping to help Turbo and Spider-Woman with the Super Skrull.

"I do my best," muttered Ricochet as he dodged a blast from one of the Skrull soldiers and cracked a throwing disc off of the soldiers' head.

"Enough!" ordered a presence from within the room and everyone turned towards the speaker. Weapons dropped from the hands of the Skrull soldiers, and the hands of hero and villain alike were dropped as the Intelligensia took control of their minds.

"This battle is over," stated the Intelligensia and the heroes blinked, unsure they were hearing correctly.

"My examination of Ultra Girl is complete. The Kree have shielded their process for bonding Human and Kree together well. I have no need for her or any of the rest of you Terrans within the Databank. This conflict is over," Intelligensia stated and then with a flash of energy, the Skrull soldiers were transported out of the Databank, to someplace else.

"Are you insane, Intelligensia? We can not allow these children to dishonor the Skrull Empire in such a manner and then simply let them depart!" roared the Super Skrull. The fire surrounding his forearms blazed with an intense light that mirrored the rage on his face.

"Yeah, we wanna give old, chin-flap here another good beating," stated Ricochet and Spider-Woman took a few steps toward the Super Skrull as if she intended to do just that.

"I think not, human," replied the Intelligensia, and then with a simple focusing of her mind, the heroes were transported away as well, leaving only the Super Skrull and Intelligensia herself still within the walls of the Databank.

"You should not have let them go. That is not the way of the Skrull," stated the Super Skrull in rising anger.

"My dear, Captain Kl'rt. You have no idea what it was we held in our hands, do you?" said the Intelligensia and the Super Skrull seemed to calm, just a bit. Though his eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"What are you talking about?"

"Our little Kree-Terran hybrid was in actuality the Kree Tsu-Zana, the light-bringer, prophesized savior of the entire Kree race,"

"A tale for children!" the Super Skrull spat in disgust. The Tsu-Zana was a myth, a story that the Kree told their young to soothe the pain of losing their empire. It was foolishness. How could one female child lead the Kree out from under the subjugation of the Shi'ar? There were even tales of the Tsu-Zana leading the Kree to rule over the entire Universe. It was absurd.

"Perhaps, Captain. But truly it matters not what you and I think, only what the Kree think. If the Kree were to welcome her with open arms and hearts, Kl'rt, tell me how much damage might such a children's tale do were it secretly in thrall to the Skrull?"

"You did not?" asked the Super Skrull, the hint of a smile breaching the confused pallor of his face.

"Only time will tell, Captain Kl'rt."

"Man, what a rush!" said Ricochet as he, and the other heroes were transported back to the spot from which they were taken. The campus of Empire State University was darkened now, as night had fallen. But though there was still yellow police tape blocking off the area from curious onlookers, the place was devoid of police.

"Speak for yourself," said Ultra Girl as she faltered in her step. The others seemed to be fine, but Suzy had gone through the most out of any of them, and the disorientation of the Intelligensia's instantaneous transport had taken its toll.

"Whoa there. I got you," said Ricochet as he caught Ultra Girl before she hit the ground. Ultra Girl looked up at Johnny Gallo and he found himself forced to look away from her piercing green eyes. "Er, are you alright now?"

"I'm fine. Thanks," said Ultra Girl as she regained her feet. She turned to the other heroes and they watched as her face visibly reddened. "I'm sorry about what happened up there. If it hadn't been for me, none of you would have got caught up in that."

"It's not a problem, Ultra Girl. You were in trouble and we came to help. We could do no less," said Turbo and Ricochet groaned.

"Oh, c'mon. That is so corny. I'm leaving before Turbo forces us to sit around a fire and sing"

"Wait a minute, Ricochet. You can't leave," Spider-Woman said as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Um... I can't?"

"Don't you guys get it? We were brought together for a reason. And we fought well together too, if I do say so myself. We took on the Super Skrull and we're all here to talk about it. I mean, isn't this the part where we all make like the Avengers and form a team?" Mattie asked. The other heroes looked at her for a long moment and then Ricochet burst out laughing.

"C'mon, Spider-Woman. We're just a bunch of kids that got caught up," Bolt said and Spider-Woman nodded.

"Exactly. And isn't it about time the young heroes got represented out there? I mean, Turbo. You were a New Warrior weren't you? Whatever happened to them?"

"We were disbanded," stated Turbo with a hint of bitterness in her voice.

"Well, then why can't we be the new New Warriors? It could totally happen. We work well together. It would be great!"

Ricochet looked at Spider-Woman and shook his head. He opened his mouth to laugh and tell her to start a Spider-Man fan club or something if she wanted to join a group, but Ultra Girl beat him to it.

"I think it would be great," Ultra Girl said and Ricochet looked at her, dumbfounded. He gazed at the long blond hair, the green eyes, and the butt that begged to be fondled. They were all calling out to him. He couldn't resist. He opened his mouth to speak again.

"Yeah. Count me in too," said Bolt, beating Rico to the punch. Bolt looked around at the others and the look was one of gratitude. He had been searching for something like this ever since Apocalypse had manipulated him. Maybe joining a team would atone for some of the sins he committed while he was in that monster's thrall. It was certainly better than sleeping in alleys and eating out of dumpsters.

Spider-Woman looked over at Ricochet and raised her eyebrows. Ricochet shook his head and laughed to himself. Ultra Girl was looking at him too.

"Ah, what the hell," Ricochet said and Mattie beamed a smile at him. Then she looked in the direction of Turbo.

"What about it, Turbo. Are we a team?" Mattie asked and Turbo looked hard at the young super-hero. Then she looked hard into herself. Did she really want to be a super-hero anymore? Sure, she had helped out Ultra Girl when the time came, but doing the hero thing had always been her friend Michael's thing, not hers. When he died, things had changed. Things were just different now. Turbo looked up at the other kids in front of her and opened her mouth to turn them down.

But then she saw them. Their faces were filled with hope. Filled with youth and exuberance and that same devil-may-care-but-I-sure-don't attitude that Michael had always had. It was a trap, she realized. Somehow they knew what she was thinking and had looked that way just so she'd join. She opened her mouth to tell them that it wouldn't work.

"We're a team," Turbo said and wasn't surprised in the slightest. It was time to move on. Not to forget, just to move on. She smiled as Spider-Woman hollered her delight up towards the night sky.

"Maybe we can get Spider-Man to join too!" Spider-Woman screeched.

"Oh, for crying out loud," Ricochet said and they all laughed then. Together.

Next Issue: The team settles into their new digs, Bolt gets a costume, Spider-Woman learns about some nasty goings-on at Roxxon Oil, and Rico brings in his buddy Hornet to fix up the team's new ride! The next Warriors story arc begins here.

DISPATCHES FROM THE WAR

Just one letter this time: a HotDamn review from Adnan Khan:

New Warriors #1
By Russ Anderson and Mike Exner III

I liked this issue, fast paced and quick gathering of the heroes. None of them know each other and that causes some problems in the fight. They still manage to hold their own, until the Big Head Skrull grabs them and brings them up to space. I want to see why they want Ultra Girl.. interesting start to this series. I like it.

WarmDamn

I'm seriously thinking of renaming Intelligentsia "Big Head Skrull" when/if she makes her next appearance...

Thanks for the review, Adnan.

We also received a very nice letter from Jason Trenner that I, unfortunately, don't have with me as I write this. That will be posted with the next issue.

Until then, send Mike Exner lots of letters and tell him what a brilliant scripter he is.
