This could only be better if Iron Man (Rhodey, I believe?) had shucked off everything but his helmet.

For a moment, I thought Sersi was meant to be balancing on the rope and the artist had messed it up.

She-hulk is using her left arm behind her back to pull the rope, so that makes it more even.

No, that's not Genis, that's Wendell Vaughn, he later changed his name to Quasar and was one of Abnett and Lanning's Annihilators. He looks horribly constipated in that first panel, and he never needed a spaceship because his quantum bands were so ridiculously powerful.

The robot is called Sam and is supposed to be from the Sesame St. show, this whole issue (Spidey Super Stories #31) is actually a lame ripoff of Star Wars called 'Star Jaws' and involves Doctor Doom, the ship was meant to be a ripoff of the Falcon, and mentioning anything else about this issue will make my head hurt so read the summary here if you dare..

It's actually not Wendell Vaughn either. It's Robert Grayson/Marvel Boy/The Uranian. He was a 50's hero that was later reintroduced as a member of Agents of Atlas. :colbert:

I assume there are some sort of licensing shenanigans going on with whoever owns The Electric Company nowadays. Probably one step more than they're willing to take for something that probably would not sell a ton. It's fantastic, and I would buy it a hundred times over, but I've also never heard of it outside of these forums.
