You guys remember the good ol' days of 2010? I don't, i was 3 at the time.
Well, Marvel was pretty big in 2010, everyone liked them. Do you care? No.
Galactus had a daughter. yes, it's true, i'm not making this up. You may have heard of her because she was in that new game called Marvel Rivals. Well, i saw that she had 4 entire comics so i decided to check them out. This is Galacta: Daughter of Galactus (2010), written by Adam Warren and drawn by Hector Sevilla Lujan.
Issue 0 was released exclusively on Marvel's Digital Comics Unlimited service, known nowadays as Marvel Unlimited. This is probably the only comic on the service that has a low resolution. First panel is a tweet. Here is the link, cause it was a real tweet on a real account.
Marvel made a real twitter to promote this... This reminds me of Chicago Party Aunt or whatever it was. The kinda shit that Galacta tweets is the kinda shit that i would've tweeted 2 or so years ago. Hopefully she will follow me back one day.
We meet Galacta, daughter of Galactus, she is always hungry. Doesn't help that America is a place full of food, tons of food. This is why Americans are always depicted as fat. This girl has an eating disorder, most days she could eat everything on sight, because that was the most memorable character trait of Galactus, he just eats everything... Wait, who's the mother?
So this comic is about her fun adventures and- OH SHIT WOLVERINE IS HERE. And according to Gali_girl, Canadians = Ineffably Yummtastic, words that were used ONCE and then never again... Or at least until this post came out.
Galacta's actually pretty cute but she's also fucking weird, i guess girls really do just want to have lunch. She's been talking about food ever since fucking issue number 0. We're on issue 2, i've just been thinking about how much this comic does not understand how people tweet... But you know what? This comic depicts twitter users from 2010 PERFECTLY, they never used pics, they always said cryptic shit and they always tweeted every single fucking thought that went through their skulls.
This bitch is so hungry that she sees some country that i don't recognize and she hallucinates about the country talking to her and asking to be eaten by Galacta... Modern internet comments say the same fucking thing. It's not just a country saying "EAT ME", it's fucking everything. So, she does some cosmic power stuff and everything's ok... Or is it?
Way back when we saw Wolverine, Galacta got some weird blue bug thingy stuck in her tummy and now it's eating her slowly. This is sorta like having a kidney stone, but it's alive. This reminds me of the time i was picking my nose and found a fly that was stuck there.
Anyways, THOR IS HERE. Galacta watches Thor for a bit but then she remembers... OH SHIT, SHE HAS TO MEET THE FANTASTIC FOUR! They're all asking questions about this. Johnny Storm is like "Well she's HOT". All while Galacta tries hard to not eat them. I can also relate because i am a hungry hungry bastard.
The comic ends with Galacta realizing that she is more than just her eating disorder, and she is not a coward, she is a person with feelings, and thoughts, and not just a creature made for just devouring. This is actually a very nice
Galactus is back to reunite with his daughter, and we also get the revelation that... Ok my brain just processed it, what the fuck, GALACTA IS PREGNANT?
This is not actually a real tweet, but I'm still confused.
What the fuck, you should have seen my expression when i first read this. This is surreal. Why was her first thought "I'm gonna tweet about this", and BY THE WAY, THE FACT THAT THIS WASN'T A REAL TWEET FUCKING RUINED ONE OF MY JOKES.
I liked this comic, the story was nice, the art was alright, the tweets were kinda funny in how dated they were and Galacta was cute. 8/10.
NEXT: The Spider-Man crossover that i like.
