The Only Good Alien…
By Roy Thomas, Sal Buscema, and Sam Grainger
Jun 1971
The Kree-Skrull War (Part 1)
- Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Rick Jones hunt and capture Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) who has escaped from the negative zone
- CM has been in the NZ far too long and has picked up a lot of radiation which they fear may cause a chain reaction and blow up the Earth
- CM breaks into the Baxter Building and uses some of Reed Richards equipment to free Rick Jones from the NZ but Annihilus briefly escapes; the Avengers show up and send him back to the NZ
- but then CM takes off in the Quinjet but soon crashes it which is where the issue opened
- great moment on page 4: Strangers in a Strange Land
- the whole scientific theory about why CM has to be captured and deradiated seems silly but maybe it was a real concern in the early 70s
- slightly convoluted way of telling the story, why?
