OMG IT'S MODOK!

Attention Dave French! You may routinely ignore my pleas to play with your brother's Heroclix, but as the UK's number 1 MODOK fan you cannot ignore MODOK'S 11!!!...

Seriously, as someone who has the word MODOK in their e-mail address you need to buy this. For a first issue it's practically flawless. There's a brief retelling of MODOK's origin and then its straight into the mind of old big head with this complex series of calculations...

an equation which in its purest essence boils down to this...

Perfect. You see MODOK needs to get a gang together to steal the cosmic cube...

Impenetrable fortress? Fearsome Weapon? Tough job. You'll need the likes of Magneto and Doom to crack this one right?

Wrong.

For reasons known only to MODOK he chooses to recruit a roster of Marvel Z list villains for the task. Z listers including Armadillo, a villain who looks like a cross between Sasquatch and Ram Man, and who is so lame that he has been forced to give up crime and seek a living as a Mexican wrestler...

Along with him we get the likes of Puma!

I can has cheezburger?

Deadly Nightshade!

Didn't you used to do backing vocals for Prince?

The Living Laser!

Pink super-villain = lame super-villain

And, errrr, Bob!


Not

It might take a little time to win their respect...


But I have no doubt that MODOK will mould this bunch of nobodies into an unstoppable unit...

I bought a shitload of comics this week and this is the best hands down. It even comes with a potted one page history of the great one. A history which contains this little known panel from MODOK's past (click the image for an important message)...

I am already slobbering in anticipation of Issue #2.
