For those who missed it, the latest issue of Ambush Bug: Year None #2 parodies the “Planet Flash” storyline from Mark Waid’s The Wild Wests. The citizens of Savoth call for help, but instead of a Flash, they get Ambush Bug.
In the 6-page sequence, he tries to protect Savoth from Mr. Nebula (a parody of Galactus who, rather than eating planets, redesigns them — and has horribly tacky taste) and his harbinger.
It’s…very bizarre. Absurd in both the everyday and technical meanings of the word.
(Thanks to Comic Bloc poster BESTBUY for pointing this one out.)
Long live the Bug! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
