Comments: Snahp Draghoon is the leader of the Ceta and he has lots of attitude. He has kidnapped a man, for what reason though? As a slave though why is this one man picked out from all the others. Why does a alien called Marc help him.
The way the characters chat it is as if they are just hanging out doing everyday normal things.
Marc and the human guy are shown escaping together. The guys name is Ray. Now he does get back to Earth.
Ray we do get a very brief explanation as to what happened to him. What we need is to know more about who he is or was.
Ray does act a little head strong. He has one concern for his Lillian. Now the story is a sci-fi one with almost no hint that it is going to be a super-hero one as well.

Comments: A guy in a costume rips into some thieves totally destroying them. It gets gory. He does look good and is bad ass and over the top violent. Unless you have read the previous issue you will have no idea who this guy is.
What does a squirrel have to do with anything in this story? It looks amazing in the art but why is it there?
The story jumps around way to much. It needs to stop and let you know what is going on. Who are the characters it is showing you and what are they up to and why.
The squirrel gets to fight an alien on an alien planet.
The story needs to be more focused. There is to much happening with no reason given for any of it. Who are the Ceti why are they doing what they do? Who is the violent guy? What is the violent guy with no name doing in another guys bedroom? Who is the other guy? How does he fit into the story?
The art does look amazing. The squirrel you will just love how it looks.

Comments: The recap gives you more information then the actual story.
An alien and a human hate each other's guts. Why? From the way they react you would think they have a past. It is not mentioned though except briefly.
Ray, Pedoman and Kid Friendly stand ready to face Snapdragon and his fleet. The aliens the Ceti have sent a killer ahead to prepare for the rest to come. Pedoman's one liners are weird. Kid Friendly using lolipops to fight is strange.
Shul Manu the killer alien finds Ray. These two seem to have a past what it is is not said. Is Ray's super-hero name Stingray probably but again it is not said. The cavalry arrives in the form of the Ginger Avenger although his name is not mentioned.
What does the talking squirrel have to do with any of this? Also what does the sword have to do with any of this. Both are well illustrated.
It would be great to know more about the characters, who they are? Why should we care about them? The writer assumes that you know who they are.
These heroes do have potential. As a team they do work well together.
