(Don’t mind that this is like 3 months late now)

I've seen people say shit like "if the comic gets to omniverse" or they can't adapt x storyline cuz it happens later in bens life or whatever and I truly think that alot of people fundamentally do not know what this book is.

Especially since issue 3 indirectly revealed that Gwens brother might not exist in this version.

This isn't Ben10s greatest hits but in comic form.

This isn't the classic series but in comic form.

This isn't a remake or a readaptation it's a reimagining/ reboot.

This is a whole new Ben, a whole new continuity, a whole new world.

They don't NEED to follow the logic or the timeline of the prime continuity cuz this isn't the prime continuity.

It plays by its own rules

Everything is up for reinterpretation.

So the people thinking this ben can't get feedback until he's 11 cuz thats how it was in the prime continuity. That doesn't matter cuz this book is it's own new thing. Feedback could be his 11th alien for all we know.

Gwens brother doesn't need to exist in this continuity, the same way he didn't exist in the reboot.

Then for people who are like "well why are they doing the summer vacation from classic if this is it's own thing" and tbh thats like asking why MOS superman and DCU superman both land in Kansas if they're different.

The answer is simple, thats his origin. This book isn't just for fans of the cartoon, it's also for new readers and how can you present a character to new readers without doing their origin?

Ben's origin is that he gets the omnitrix on a camping trip during summer break so they're doing it.

Do i think it necessarily had to be a 10yr old ben? Not at all i think the comic would've been much more interesting if we saw a teen ben get the omnitrix for the first time but that doesn't change the fact that this is Ben's origin and you don't skip it.

I NEED pantheon to get more recognition 🥹

i absolutely loved dynamite ben 10 issue 1 the tone it set literally makes me so excited for future issues and the rest of the story
