Wow! Ghostfreak allying to Kevin! They really should have thought of this on the original serie!

Oh, no. He's not Ghostfreak. His name is Beyonder. He is a mad scientist who escaped from Null Void.

The hands are looked alike.

A funny coincidence is that Beyonder is also the name of a Marvel villain - well, sort of villain.

I bet that soon Kevin will realize that trusting this guy is a mistake.

Yep, according to somebody's book review, Beyonder betrays Kevin. But that's a big mistake because later Kevin teams up with Ben and helps him catch Beyonder.

It was kinda funny the book reviewer said, "Maybe Kevin does have a heart after all." I bet she hasn't watched Alien Force

Off-topic: Looks like the next volume will take place in France.

Wow! I was afraid this story followed the OS line that Kevin hadn´t anything good at all. I´d like to see this.

Y´know, when Kevin 11 tried to kill Ben at Grudge Match it was a big disappointment for me. Despite of everything that Kevin had done, I was hoping all the time that he changed his mind... deep down I felt sorry for him for having turned into a monster.

Later Kev disappears, though. It's likely he's gonna come back. Well, at least he did something good this time, and I don't think he's gonna team up Beyonder again. Perhaps he'll on neither Ben's nor Beyonder's side.

Yeah, that's what I really liked about AF timeline. It gave him a chance to change. Unfortunately, other villains still remained evil.):

Well, someone had to do the dirty work.

I only wish you had this book.

I just found this from somebody else's book review.[link] It's pretty surprising 11-year-old Kevin said that. I think Kevin from Exploring Hero is a mixed version of the original Kevin and AF Kevin. He's stil an antagonist, but he doesn't seem "insane." Also, at the end of the volume, Gwen wishes that Kevin was on the good side. I'm not sure, but perhaps the author was aware of Alien Force.

Actually, I'm gonna visit S. Korea this June anyway. I can get some of these there.

These comic books must be very expensive, I bet. I was just thinking if it would worth I paying you via Paypal to buy one for me... but the price turned into Brazilian money probably would be very big.

One thing I realized: Kevin stopped Beyonder to "not be owing to Ben". That means that probably Beyonder tried to kill him, and Ben saved his life.

I just calcultated using google conversion. Each volume costs 10500 won in Korean currency, so it would be approximately 18 Brazilian real per volume. But the bigger problem would be shipping costs because they'de be more pricy than the actual price of the books.

Yeah, I haven't read this one yet, but it looks like Beyonder tried to let both Ben and Kevin die, and Ben later saves himself and Kevin.

Yes!!!!

Probably the author was inspired by Not the Bars of a Cage. Kevin then would somehow left the Null Void after escaping from the Incarcicon. That´s why he´s not that bad (despite tossing that bus with people on Ben... but it was hinted that BEN started pursuing him. It´s mentioned in the serie that Kevin was once out of the Null Void and sent back there again, by that Judge of Don´t Fear the Repo. So the writer of this comic must be a fan, too, hehehehe.


Thank you for sharing this with me! I love Ben´s shining face in the last pannel, like he´s thinking "now we can be friends!" And I bet Ben was rejected again, right? Poor kid... I think that very, very deep down his feelings for Kevin never died, as much as Ben tried to despise him for his acts.

It was also hinted in both ends of Framed and Grudge Match that Gwen felt sorry for Kevin being a monster - that actually was confirmed in that Ben 10 special version with explaining pannels (did you get to see it?).

Probably Dwayne McDuffie noticed these things, too. I always thought that the main reason of Ben´s harsh behaviour in the Ultimate Kevin saga was because that he felt betrayed and abandoned again... and it was much worse this time because Ben got to see Kevin as his "big brother". And Kevin knew how much he had hurt him, by his aphologizing temptative in Absolute Power.

If so, I want to see the AF version--but without school stuff

Well, at least Ben wouldn't feel hurt as much as usual this time In OS, Kevin was extremely selfish. He tried to harm Ben for his own benefits even when Ben still gave him a chance. But this time, Kevin actually felt he owed Ben a big thing, helped him, and just disappeared without attacking him. I think this is a big change.

And probably it would be why Ben gave him another chance in AF premiere.
