2. X-Pit!

Writer/Artist: Jack Kirby

Remember how I said the first issue had no Granny Goodness? Well, here she is, in all her glory.

In this issue, Miracle and Oberon are busily working on a new escape when they’re attacked by Granny Goodness' super powerful machine, Overlord. Oberon is kidnapped, and Scott chases after him. They’re trapped in the X-Pit, but Scott overloads it, destroys Overlord, tells granny to go screw herself, and leaves with Oberon. Okay, he doesn't actually say that. He tells her to "dry up and blow away”, which is harsh as hell.

This ish gives us a couple of firsts. Granny Goodness obviously makes her debut here, we get our first look at Mr. Miracle's iconic aero-discs, the Mother Box finally gets a name, and we hear its distinctive pinging sound. Kirby's framing really rules here, with wild close-ups and crazy angles you didn’t see in other comics of the time.

Also, I was surprised by how much Granny Goodness cares about Overlord here. It's a different take on the character from the one I'd been used to.
