I’m glad that they had time to change Kitty’s hair from red to brunette.
Issue opens with Quill in yet another prison cell. He is in the cell with a fellow Spartaxian and a green young male alien.
Quill looks for some inspiration, and looks at his wrist. WWRRD, What Would Rocket Raccoon Do. Rocket would fake it til you make it. He calls Quill, Baby Boo.
Quill gets an idea. The Spartaxian is part of the Secret Service. He needs help from a special someone.
Thanks to Tumblr poster 5ummit for this first set of images!
I like that he calls it, the Kitty Phone. She’s surprised that he’s calling her from yet another jail.
He wants her to create a distraction. Kitty offers a crackling Jazz / Tap routine. That, I would like to see.
Quill was hoping for something with lingerie. Oh, he doesn’t know Kitty at all.
As per scary, her last year’s Halloween costume might work.
The escape plan begins.
This was a fun turn of the page reveal.
I read, ooga chaka, and I think of that song from Alley McBeal with the dancing baby – Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Swede and sung on the show by Vonda Shepard.
I would like to see Kitty’s last year Halloween night. Her wearing a giant banana, is just fun.
The distraction works perfectly.
Quill and the green dude esape together, and find a red racecar of a space ship / jet, the ship is called the Bad Boy.
The ship has a young lady hologram interface system. She seems cool and hip.
Quill names his buddy, Tiberius. He drops him off at the orphanage from the first issue. Quill starts flirting with the lady who runs the orphanage, Donna. He is about to go inside with her when he sees Tiberius eating a banana.
I like that he isn’t going to sleep around any more. His days of womanizing are over. Or at least, he’s going to hesitate.
I really do enjoy seeing the two of them enjoying each other’s company.
Quill thanks her, as he should. Kitty promises to keep bailing him out of trouble. They are about to kiss. How does that work? I can’t imagine that they use hard light projections.
The voice of the ship interrupts them. The ship reveals Quill is coming to Earth. Kitty perks up at this news.
Kitty thinks he is coming to visit her, she lives on Earth. What a statement. Me too!
He tells her that this isn’t a vacation trip he’s taking. We see on the final page, he’s coming to Earth to confront . . . Thanos!
He should totally bring Kitty along. If Squirrel Girl can defeat Thanos, single handedly, Kitty should be able to, with a little help.
Hopefully she shows up, if she does, I will buy that issue. I know she will be in issue six and on the cover to issue seven. I saw on Twitter, that Humphries has announced that Kitty should be in every issue – to some extent – starting soon. I can’t wait!
This is from Humphries’ official twitter feed
So I’m of course following him now!
