"OK, what was THAT? Maybe it will come off better when I read it again, but, this was about the most nothing fight you could imagine. It doesn't even feel like I've just read a whole comic. It was also about the most cardboard cut-out depiction of Juggernaut you could imagine. They do little but go on and on about his unstoppability.
Banner coaches Skaar some more. We get a page or so of Skaar trying to toe-to-toe with Juggernaut and getting smacked down. While down and apparently near out, Skaar reverts to a little boy form and begs Juggernaut not to hit him anymore(which is about the only interesting part of the fight). Juggernaut pauses at the transformation, and since he's standing still he's not unstoppable(yes, they actually stress this in the comic) so boy-Skaar levitates him into the air. Skaar changes back to normal and leaps after Juggernaut.
But Skaar can only use the OldPower when he's on the ground, so he and Juggernaut fall back down to Earth. Skaar opens the Earth and he and Juggernaut end up falling underground in molten lava. In lava Juggernaut doesn't have any footholds, because, you know, he's unstoppable and to utilize his unstoppability he needs footholds to unstoppably charge forward with his unstoppability. Except for the first page the Juggernaut doesn't generate any real offensive in the fight and seems content to just wait until a foothold presents itself so he can use his unstoppability. In the lava, instead of fighting Skaar and Juggernaut discuss disfunctional relationships with their fathers(mostly off-panel). They laugh together, then Skaar uses the OldPower to fly them on a chunk of earth up to the surface.
But their "friendship" is a trick. Skaar suddenly stops the chunk of Earth and a surprised Juggernaut flies off and calls Skaar a cheater. Skaar then OldPower punches Juggernaut, knocking off one of those strange shoulder pads the artist drew him with and apparently propelling Juggernaut into an OldPower-controlled course into outer space. Cut to Reed and Beast, none of the shuttles and satellites they've sent out can locate Juggernaut. They talk about how Banner may be even more dangerous than Hulk. Cut back to Skaar and Banner, they go to a comics shop and read some Marvel comics. Wolverine then appears in the comics shop with claws popped. The End."
copied and pasted, not my words. and yes, its pretty close to the truth:
juggernaut should have walked through everything that skaar could come up with. the issue should have went something like this:
juggernaut beats up banner and sheild protecting him. juggernaut beats up skaar and takes everything that is thrown at him. pounds him into the ground too.
banner and skaar retreat to which banner says something along the lines of "thats what its like to fight hulk, only hulk isnt as tough"...
but juggernaut just takes a trip on the WTF was that express train right into the town of bfr that just happens to be on the planet jupiter.

I actually got a laugh out of this.
At least Juggernaut wasn't actually injured and beat down. To me, this just seemed like a generic Hulk/strong hero vs Juggernaut fight. Can't really have the hero lose, but can't have Juggernaut win/lose either.
