It's funny you say that. Millar/Land on UFF is the most well liked run on that book on every other forum I've visted. Can't count the number of times it's been recommended to me.
Because it was awesome 😄
Especially their last two arcs.
Millar nailed Ben's characterization in the super skrull arc

Err...why are we just assuming Pietro is boasting about his speed? That's like the one thing he doesn't need to boast about.
He was treating Mach 10 like a joke because, well, it was a joke to him.

He was completely caught off-guard. Even Flash can be caught off-guard if he's completely unaware. 😬
Not really as he knew it wasn't the wind but a sonic boom and then BAM! knocked out with one hit. Don't even compare QS to Flash they arn't even close.

Errr...how do we know he wasn't boosting? Even 616 QS constantly boosts about his speed
How do we know? Up to that event, Quicksilver apart from the apartment incident really didn't do anything impressive.

I have the comic that he got speed-blitzed in. He heard a sonic boom, but was nowhere near ready for a fight. He barely realized it was a sonic boom before he was tagged, completely unawares.
😐 And I'm clearly not comparing Flash to Quicksilver. Just that they can both be hit if they're caught completely unawares. Let's not twist my words.

That's nice, I even posted the scan of what happened. Considering from the another "supossed" interview with Mark Millar stating Quicksilver was close to light speed don't you think his reflexes would clue in? Since well he was going mach 10 when he still had pimples and all.
Have you seen the other threads? there were several after this incident comparing him to Flash. What he did isn't anything amazing. Northstar did it to a norm just going mach three
