- Writer: Geoff Johns

While Billy and the rest of the kids enjoy their time in the Funlands, it’s Mary who suspects there is more going on than just sunshine, rainbows, and lollipops. Sure, King Kid seems pleasant enough, and is helpful in giving the group some background into the various lands long closed off from the Rock of Eternity, but there’s obviously more to his backstory than he is letting on and he’s a bit too eager to share in the magic of the wizard.
Things turn ugly when Billy and the others attempt to leave, a sequence helped by the once pleasant clowns growing more sinister. As the comic comes to a close the family finds itself separated into different lands… (including a land where it just may be possible to meet one of Captain Marvel’s oldest, and cuddliest, friends?).
It looks like starting next issue we’ll be getting a look at more of the lands. Are the heroes destined to protect these various realms? Or will the entire Marvel Family be heading back to “Earthlands” at the end of the arc? Worth a look.
