DR. STRANGE: Eternity said that the Monad was created. By whom? And how? If we find the answer to those questions, we may be able to undo the creation.
NAMOR: Look, I'm not trying to be a total dick about this, but...it's a baby. Couldn't we just...um...you know....
HULK: Uh, yeah. Hulk tried that. Lots of times.
SILVER SURFER: Nothing can kill a monad. Tell us, what do you see, Strange?
DR. STRANGE: The Monad is all things...but it is biological. It was created. Somehow. Gentlemen, we are faced with questions beyond the ability of my gifts to answer.
DR. STRANGE: Hulk, you and Silver Surfer go get that baby. Namor and I will meet you at the Baxter Building.
NAMOR: The Baxter Building? So you mean...
DR. STRANGE: That's right...the man we need to help us unravel this mystery is...
DR. STRANGE: ...Reed Richards!
AT THAT PRECISE MOMENT, LIGHTYEARS AWAY IN AN ORBITAL SHUTTLE IN THE MESOSPHERE OF KNOWHERE...
DRAX THE DESTROYER: Fuel cells stable, settling into orbit.
ROCKET RACCOON: Not so fast, Green Giant. Adam says something's up. Peter wants you back on the bridge.
DRAX THE DESTROYER: Something's up, huh? Beats floating around some decapitated Celestial, I guess.
STARLORD: Galaxy's in peril, guys. If what Adam says is true, this one's above all our pay grades, but we've gotta do what we can. Adam? Fill 'em in.
ADAM WARLOCK: Someone--or something--on Earth has created a Monad. I don't know why or how or even who could have done it, but what I do know, is that it could wipe out the whole galaxy.
STARLORD: Galaxy, nothing. It could wipe out existence as we know it. My mind's made up. Set course for Earth.
ROCKET RACCOON: I'm in.
GROOT: ||||| ||||||||||| || ||||||| ||||||| |||| |||||||.
STARLORD: We won't know until we get there, but I'd say the odds aren't in our favor.
ROCKET RACCON: I don't know about you guys, but that's just the way I like it.
STARLORD: Alright, Drax...back 'er up and set your passports for Earth.
DRAX THE DESTROYER: I'd feel a lot better if we knew who--or what--was behind this. Seems like we're kind of rushing in without knowing what the d'ast we're even doing.
ADAM WARLOCK: Drax, if that thing on Earth is actually a Monad, it won't matter who's behind it....
TO BE CONTINUED IN CHAPTER 6: SINGULARITY!
Wait a second. Who and why in the hell do you have the complete set of Guardians of the Galaxy?
ReplyDeleteWow. This just might surpass Freedom isn't Free.... Awesome shit!
ReplyDeleteOh-ho-ho...if you haven't read GotG yet, you really should pick it up. RIGHT down both of your alleys (plus there's still time to be ahead of the bandwagon curve for when the movie comes out in a couple years). Have you read the Infinity Gauntlet series? Then you know Adam Warlock (and if you haven't, you'll need to read it before Avengers 2, because I think that's where they're going. Anyway, after that and the Phalanx War and a bunch of intergalactic conflicts where Warlock puts together bits and pieces of a team, this Han Soloish dude named Starlord determines to put together a team. They come across this weird guy frozen in ice with Captain America's shield, and it turns out he's Major Victory, one of the original 1960's Guardians of the Galaxy, so they take that name. Their base is on the severed head of a Celestial. They fight this religious cult called the Universal Church of Truth...dude, you've just got to check it out. I'm sure it's in TPB or you can do what I did and read them online.
ReplyDeleteMy collection's not complete, but only because they haven't made the chicks, Quasar, Gamora, Mantis, Phyla-Vel and a couple others that came in and out. They also haven't made Cosmo, the team's head of security who is a telepathic golden retriever who thinks in a Russian accent. They haven't made Warlock in his GotG uniform, so I'm just using the Infinity Gauntlet version (though I should probably take off the cape to make it closer...). The rest of them came in a box set that is still out. I was dumb and bought it when it came out, but it's warming shelves like crazy since nobody knows who they are, so if you want, you can probably pick it up on clearance and have your own Rocket Raccoon. Plus Starlord's super badass.
Dude, you've got a ton of figures. I'd love to see you collection some time. So glad Rocket Racoon has made it into this story.
