** That's just where all the interesting stuff happens (following in daddy's footsteps). Twenty six pages showing the inky blackness of space in order to demonstrate scale does not make for a fun story.

* Oddly inverted in a [[Marvel Comics]] miniseries, ''Captain Universe''. Gladiator, a [[Flying Brick]] alien flies to Earth from across the galaxy. That sort of travel is usually hand waved in comics as those characters being just that darn powerful. It gets odd when Gladiator has to fly from one part of the globe to another once he gets there and uses the Captain Universe [[Power-Up]] in order to grant himself enough speed to make the flight in time. So essentially, space is smaller than the planet Earth, according to this story.
