Plot Synopsis[]
Mark is visiting a comic store to buy Science Dog comics. The cashier goes on to say that Science Dog is bad. Mark argues that it’s Caption Comics’ best seller and that the movie was good since they’re planning on coming out with a sequel. The cashier argues otherwise. Mark gets a message from his beeper Mark arrives to the scene to see Rex Splode fighting Octoboss. Mark charges into Octoboss and get him off of Rex. Rex then asks Mark take care of Octoboss’s minions because they are stealing Plutonium. Rex charges batons and throws him. He demonstrates skills as an acrobat and easily dodges Octoboss’s attacks. Rex then charges a computer and shows that larger objects have larger explosions. He then throws it into Octoboss’s face and goes to Mark back to Utah. Rex offers to help Monster Girl get out her suit that Robot custom-made for her. He then asks if Kate is around with Monster Girl not knowing. Rex then leaves to find her and Monster makes a flirtatious response to Rex. Rex then goes to see Kate cheating on him, similar to what he did while he was with Eve. Mark returns to his dorm room to see William waking up from oversleeping. William then tells Mark that Rick has been missing for weeks. They head to his dorm to see their old principal, Winslow, now Dean of Upstate University looking for Rick as well. Mark then leaves after he is reminded to go see his mother.
Mark flies back to his house and sees that Debbie made a sandwich. She then asks how there his relationship with Amber is while he makes himself a sandwich. He goes on to say that he took her flying and Debbie is reminded of her estranged husband. Someone knocks on the door and Debbie checks on it. It is revealed to be none other than Science Dog. Mark launches himself into it and the person attempts to convince Mark that he’s Science Dog. However, Mark argues that Science Dog is just a ficitional character. Meanwhile at the Guardians base in Utah, Rex talks to Robot about what he saw. It is revealed that Kate cheated with Immortal. Robot goes on to say that it’s not much different than what happened with Eve previously. Rex then understands that he deserves it. Robot then takes some of his DNA while hiding that he was patting his shoulder.
Mark continues to argue that “Science Dog” is not real and crashes him into a construction. He asks him what it’s about. “Science Dog” goes on to say that they have the ability to watch planets from afar and goes on to say that his people are in danger and that they need Mark’s help. Cecil interrupts and tells him to get Science Dog to remove his mask so he can scan him for alien race in the government database. The person removes his “mask” revealing it to be a synthetic exoskeleton capable of mimicking appearances. It is revealed that he is an alien with a insectlike appearance. He asks him one more time and Mark asks to do something.
Cecil attempts to convince Mark that going to space is bad but Mark refuses. He then leaves to his house and sees his mother, drunk on the couch. Debbie apologizes but says him flying reminded her of Nolan. He then leaves to get a disguise to go to Amber’s dorm. He sees her friend talks to her and Amber asks that she give them a moment. Mark then tells Amber where he’s going and she tells him to be careful. Bridget to goes back in and Amber lies about where he’s going. Mark then reaches orbit and loses signal with Cecil, much to his frustration.
The alien then tells Mark that it will take six days to get there and Mark sleeps it off. They arrive with cheers from the alien’s people and they go to the throne room. Their monarch is revealed to be none other than Mark’s father, much to his shock.
Trivia[]
- The panels of Rex saying "no" over and over almost exactly mirror the ones seen in Issue 6 when Eve walked in on Rex cheating on her with Dupli-Kate.
