By Grabthar's Hammer, someone's making a Galaxy Quest comic book!
Man, I really liked Galaxy Quest, but I don't really think there's much need to explore those characters any further. The movie was nice and self contained and wrapped up very well at the end.
And I'm no comic expert by any stretch of the imagination, but art seems a bit low quality to me. Also, shouldn't he have some damn gloves on?
It's due out in August. What do you guys think?

yeah, maybe in 1998
that's... kinda a big mistake unless the next panel has him being sucked out of his suit through his sleeves
yeah pretty much
Why is no one else unzipped?
What is going on?
Steam
Or hit it WITH the burners?
I don't think a 1 atm pressure differential is enough to suck a dude out of a space suit through the sleeves.

It'd be cool to see, though.
no but it is enough to make his blood boil and head explode
Besides, who says that they aren't magical self-sealing cuffs?
boobs
serious business
And then I saw the art
How disappointing

Maybe it's a universe-destroying bomb.

Asphyxiation, and real bad sunburn. And the maybe the bends.
Mostly asphyxiation.
your = belonging to you

Maybe they exist outside the universe. Duh.
Maybe they're from another universe.
aduh.

Thus being in space without gloves, while stupid, would not kill you
It'd probably hurt. And it might fuck up your hands. But it won't kill you. You won't explode.

also let's assume you came from a planet where your race lives comfortable in 100 atmospheres of pressure
so you were in that condition moments before
A rough estimate is that a human will have about 90 seconds to be recompressed, after which death may be unavoidable.[2] The absence of oxygen outside the body causing rapid de-oxygenation of the blood (hypoxia) is the primary reason for unconsciousness within 14 s.[3] If a person is exposed to low pressures more slowly, hypoxia causes gradual loss of cognitive functions starting at about 3 km (2 mi) altitude equivalent. Less severe effects include the formation of nitrogen gas bubbles and consequent interference with organ function (decompression sickness), which is actually less severe in space than in diving. Meanwhile, reduction of blood carbon dioxide levels (hypocapnia) can alter the blood pH and indirectly contribute to nervous system malfunctions. If the person tries to hold their breath during decompression, the lungs may rupture internally.[2]
Few humans have experienced conditions 1-4 above. Joseph Kittinger experienced localised ebullism during a 31 km (19 mi) ascent in a helium-driven gondola.[1] His right-hand glove failed to pressurise and his hand expanded to roughly twice[4] its normal volume accompanied by disabling pain. His hand took about 3 hours to recover after his return to the ground. Two other people were decompressed accidentally during space mission training programs on the ground, but both incidents were less than 5 minutes in duration, and both victims survived.[1] International Space Station and Space Shuttle astronauts regularly work in Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs or space suits) that are at pressures less than 30% of the spacecraft to facilitate mobility, without experiencing noticeable decompression sickness.[5] Nevertheless, the decompression accident of Soyuz 11 killed all three cosmonauts on board.[5][6]
Decompression is a serious concern during the extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) of astronauts.[7] Current EMU designs take this and other issues into consideration, and have evolved over time.[8][9] A key challenge has been the competing interests of increasing astronaut mobility (which is reduced by high-pressure EMUs, analogous to the difficulty of deforming an inflated balloon relative to a deflated one) and minimising decompression risk. Investigators[10] have considered pressurising a separate head unit to the regular 71 kPa (10.3 psi) cabin pressure as opposed to the current whole-EMU pressure of 29.6 kPa (4.3 psi)[9] (for reference, by definition, the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101.4 kPa, equal to 14.7 psi[11]). In such a design, pressurisation of the torso could be achieved mechanically, avoiding mobility reduction associated with pneumatic pressurisation.[10]

never gonna give
(give you up)
That's actually the point.
