THE GOD OF WAR FINALLY GETS HIS HANDS ON THE HOTTEST BABE IN TOWN!
Baby Laussa, that is! Thor's little sister has been kidnapped - and she's bound for fiery Muspelheim! But Balder pledged his life to ensure Laussa's safety, and he's not about to break his vow. Even Kate Bishop, Miles Morales, Death Locket, Sebastian Druid and Wonder Man are no match for Ares, though - not when the entire Earth is at war. To save Laussa and stop Ares' rampage, they'll need some divine intervention. Superstar podcasters the McElroys bring baby Laussa and her babysitter's club to new heights in this exhilarating conclusion!

In my opinion, Journey Into Mystery was the best tie-in to War of the Realms right up alongside Avengers. This first half of this issue showed our team of baby sitters save Laussa from Ares. The second half it is revealed Laussa herself influenced the team on their journey, and that Ares was being manipulated by that western ghost rider. The team dynamic is great and the art is some of the best in comics right now. Thori makes for some endless laughs and the McElroys have a great respect for continuity

A solid finale. Overall this was a fun miniseries, with a slow start.

The whole babysitting road-trip turns out to be a recruiting drive organized by unlikely forces that succeeds in pulling an unlikely MVP to the side of the angels. A big, cleverly-scripted fight, excellent character interactions, and a high-tide art performance all combine to close this series with a surprisingly fun bang.

Us ? We're just the babysitters."

Pretty cheesy but, overall, it's not bad as a break into the industry for the McElroys. As a tie-in it is completely skippable and unneeded. Check it out for kid-friendly, lighthearted comedy if that's your thing.

Ah good, it was even more pointless than I originally thought.
