Kid Cosmic

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

The mind-boggling vastness of space.

And in that boggling vastness only 13 to be found.

Thirteen Cosmic Stones of Power!

To find one is unbelievable, but to find five, at once?

Unimaginable.

But I, Fantos the Amassor, found five Cosmic Stones of Power!

At once!

And then this third-rate shipping company lost them!

I paid you extra for insurance.

Expedited shipping! Tracking numbers!

No expense was spared!

But they never arrived!

These rare and precious Cosmic Stones were created by the greatest evil force

in all the universe.

Erodious the Planet Killer!

Each stone, the final remnant of a world

that has been ripped apart by the power of Erodious!

-Sir, if you'll-- -Erodious!

Fool!

You would not dare mock me if you knew

the power of the mighty and unyielding Erodious!

Looks like you’ll have the chance to find out.

This isn’t over.

I plan on leaving a very sternly worded comment on the UPX website!

And it is going to be long, weird, and rambling!

Oh my gosh, it's happening!

Hurry! It’s almost over!

Here! Give it to me!

I blinked!

Ugh, forget it.

Still…

I can’t believe I finally got to see Erodious in person.

Soon the entire galaxy will understand the power of Erodious.

Erodious!

And the power of negative consumer feedback.

"Dear Jerks at UPX Shipping…" Wait. Their planet was just destroyed.

"Dear Jerks at UPX shipping,

Ha ha!"

"Your enemy, Fantos the Amassor." Send.

- -Anything on the scanners?

What? What? What is it?

Why are you showing me this? I could eat, but…

Wait a minute!

My stone!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa!

Ooh!

Ha-ha!

Yeah!

Whoa!

Ahh!

Oh!

Whoa!

Ha-ha. Wow!

Kid. You okay?

Uh, guess I still suck at telekeneshish.

Technikkanexis.

Telekinesis.

Hey, Carl, Carla, and Carlos.

Hey, Kid.

We love these "hamberders an flies!"

Am I saying it right?

Yes.

Hey, Flo. Seen Jo?

Uh, table 13, I think.

Thanks!

Flo, I can’t thank you enough for all you did to get me back to my family.

It’s been a very happy belated birthday with my girl here.

I’m just happy you’re happy.

Now you all let me know if there’s anything else you need.

Oh my goodness!

Are you okay, Graknar?

How about a nice slice of Volgot pie?

On the house.

Kitchen, now.

Hamburg, where’s my order for table 20?

One globlob medium rare and another slice of Volgot pie.

Got it right here, Jo.

-Thanks, Fry. -Jo…

Is this medium rare? It’s still blue.

It’s organic globlob. It’s supposed to stay blue.

Jo!

Ugh! I wrote down Graknar’s allergy, I swear.

Yes, and you spelled it

"f-l-A-r-b."

It’s "f-l-O-r-b."

Well, he’s okay now, isn’t he?

That’s not the point. You gotta think about your customers, Jo!

That couple at the door has been waiting 20 minutes for a table.

You seated the Plexmans in a filthy booth. You forgot to order fresh snorb oil.

And have you been practicing your Velbanese?

You know the Velbian esophagus can’t form Earth words!

Come on, Jo, don’t you remember your Grandmother’s recipe?

Out loud.

Uh, Mo’s secret recipe:

a cup of compassion, a teaspoon of tenderness,

an ounce of understanding mix with…

Care and kindness.

- Sorry you saw that, boys. -I saw nothing, nothing.

Oh, no worries. My sister had a phase like that.

- -

What am I going to do with that girl?

-Hey, there you are! -Busy.

Here you go.

Globlob nice and hot. Your side of blamf. More napkins.

So listen, I’ve been thinking,

we’ve been in the truck stop for a while.

And I don’t wanna be a delivery boy forever.

You don’t wanna be a waitress.

Who ever said I don’t want to be a waitress?

Uh, you did?

Ugh!

…and after our final decisive maneuver,

Commander Zorka’s armada scattered in disarray.

Thus the Battle for Beta Gamalon ended in total, glorious victory

for the royal forces of Queen Xhan.

Hah! Reminds me of this one time I had a dozen mice cornered all at once.

Talk about a total, glorious, delicious victory. Ha-ha.

One Flaxnar and Diet Tuna Tartare.

Diet?

-Jo! -Gah!

Kid, I know what you’re gonna say.

You wanna start our mission to find Stones of Power,

and we will. I promise.

-When? -When I’m…

I mean, when we’re ready.

We can’t just run off on some wild Cosmic Stone chase.

Why not? Sounds awesome.

Uh, I’ve been swamped helping my mom with the diner.

She needs help with all the new customers.

Besides, I haven’t come up with a plan.

Not to mention, I have no clue how to find the stones.

Queen Xhan brought us here to destroy Erodious.

And she can’t lead us. Erodious kicked her butt.

She expelled the last of her energy portaling us here.

-I’m getting better. -I mean, look at her.

-She can’t even float anymore. -The booth seats are quite comfortable.

You’re our only hope, Jo.

The longer we wait,

the more danger the Planet Killer poses to the entire galaxy.

So here’s a plan for you:

you lead our team to use our powers to find more stones,

recruit more heroes and get awesome.

Then we go battle an ancient alien force of pure evil and save the galaxy.

What do you say?

I got it!

Ugh!

Have faith in your leader, Kid Cosmic.

When Jo finally accepts what it takes to be a true leader,

she will find the proper path to lead her team to ultimate victory.

Promise?

That concept is foreign to my culture,

but I promise.

Mo’s Oasis, like no other place in space is.

How can I help you?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Got it.

Kid!

Adventure?

Delivery.

Ugh!

Ugh. Delivering diner food in an hour or less guaranteed is not exactly

the kind of high-stakes space adventure I was hoping for.

Mo’s Oasis, like no other place in space is.

I’d like to add to my order, please.

One Cosmic Stone of Power!

Hey!

The mind-boggling vastness of space,

and in that boggling vastness, only 13 to be found.

To find one is unbelievable,

but to find five, at once?

Unimaginable.

But I, Fantos the Amassor, found five Cosmic Stones of Power

at once!

Then you stole them!

My scanners indicate that the other four stones,

that I legitimately won in an online auction by the way,

are hidden somewhere inside the place you call Mo’s Oasis.

If those that love you ever hope to see you again,

they will have no choice but to hand over the four remaining stones

to me!

Yes!

With me captured, Jo has no choice but to spring into action and save me!

Our space adventures have finally begun!

Getting captured by a supervillain is

just the lucky break I’ve been looking for! Whoa!

You must really like the stones.
