Everything's Coming Up MODOK!

So it looks like this issue of Avengers might be pretty good (thanks, Jacob!)

And Tim Burke actually hauled off and sent me an actual MODOK action figure. (thanks, Tim!)

Here are pictures of the girls admiring it. Mei-Mei instantly declared it to be her wobot. 'Mei-Mei's wobot is vewy wonderful. Mei-Mei's wobot is vewy amazing."

Zoë likes it, too.

Zoë proceeded to make a fine drawing. "MODOK goes for a walk". (Click for larger image.)

The whole cult MODOK thing started way back in 2003 or so when I snapped this pic of Zoë apparently trying to squeeze her head into rather a small space:

Don't forget MODOSA, MODOFS, and MODOKMODOK.

I do feel I should point out that it's not the actual Avengers title, but Marvel Adventures: The Avengers, the kid-friendly version.

This one I'm keeping for myself.

Moreover: Joe Quesada's weekly answer column:

"Q: - A little while ago it was rumoured Fred Van Lente was doing a Supervillain Team-Up which would come out of House of M. The first arc was going to be called "MODOK’s Eleven”, and involved MODOK organizing a dream team of superpowered criminals to launch the greatest heist in history. What happened to this book?

"JQ: MODOK’s 11 is on the schedule of April of next year, Iceman Geek, and because you asked, here’s some cover art!"
