Part One of Two - this one is really good...

[papajoemambo]

After this I'll be giving my sustained investigation of just how fricking great a comics writer Jeff Parker is a bit of a rest (actually - there's some Hembeck coming, Rappo). This one is too good not to share, though. Also... um. If you can just allow yourself to imagine Patrick Stewart saying "That VAN gets EXCELLENT mileage!" in a state of

It gets better - the banter between Johnny & Ben kills me (but then again, it usually does).

Part Two's up now, Maddie.

Other than Professor X's funny lines, I think my favorite part is Jean giving the doe-eyes to the Invisible Girl. Marvel Girl's clearly got a ... er ... girlcrush.

[papajoemambo]

You have no idea :P

Part Two is up.

[quietprofanity]

Where? :-(

"Yeah, blasting off in a sweet air car while we're all cramming into a minivan on missions" - Bobby

"That van gets excellant mileage" - Xavier

[papajoemambo]

I love the bit where Xavier catches Bobby imagining him in drag too...
