[sherkahn]

It got me thinking. What did Doom just put in or take off the lunar lander?

[espanolbot]

The Reed Richards patent label?

[jlroberson]

"I'm not leaving evidence for the aliens that fool Richards ever existed. Nixon, yes. He was a fine dinner guest and a surprisingly giving lover."

[cainofdreaming]

The proof of the first Skrull Invasion from the era of First Line? It should still be there at this point.

[blakeyrat]

Blackjack... and hookers!

In fact, forget the blackjack!

[proteus_lives]

Whalers on the Moon!

[darkblade]

Dracula is clearly just setting Doom up for an attack from the laser on his Moon castle base.

[espanolbot]

Funny that you mention that...

[darkblade]

They didn't take plot ideas from Dr. McNinja did they? I mean this looks like it was well written and awesome and that'd just not be cool.

[espanolbot]

Well Dracula has a castle on the Moon, but instead of a laser he has a giant cannon that fires mutant vampires at the Earth with pin point accuracy.

Oh, and a wooden galleon that can go in space. :)

[cainofdreaming]

Oh, Drac likes Spelljammer too. A man after my own heart.

Or at least the stuff my heart pumps.

[darkblade]

Who doesn't like Spelljammer? I mean giant space hamsters, mercenary hippo men with guns and beholder space pirates. Thats some epic stuff right there.

[darkblade]

Different enough that it is awesome.

[baihu]

Wait, out of all the Castlevania castles they could've used, they took Dawn of Sorrow's moon-castle!?

[jlroberson]

It was well-written and extremely awesome, so Marvel killed it dead.

[box_in_the_box]

"I'll call you the little prince!"

HOLY SHIT DOOM

it's been so long since you've been written well that I forgot how awesome you could be.

[mullon]

It would interesting if this tied into Siege later.

[halialkers]

So wait......if Islam is now behind the West in superhumans, by the internal logic of the Marvel Universe that would have made Islam superior to the West in superhumans right up until about the mid-19th Century. And China equal in superhumans until they fall behind because they never saw the ratty-ass Europeans coming.

Vlad Tepes = fail.

[proteus_lives]

I actually liked how they wrote him in M13. Real-life Tepes hated the Turks so fucking much.

But then again, who didn't he hate?

[halialkers]

His mother? Lol. ;P.

[scenesaroundjackson.wordpress.com]

"heh, of course. you'll be a proper ruler then. I'll call you the Little Prince!"

i love you DOOM LoL

[ashez2ashes]

I think I'd prefer it ending with Blade showing up and killing everyone.

[darkblade]

No not enough of a curb stomp he might need to make an actual effort to kill all the sparkles himself. He needs to bring along Hellboy, Buffy, Alucard, Van Hellsing, Simon Belmont and any other hunters he can find. Then it might be appropriately satisfying.

[yaseen101]

No, it should end with a a dude in a fedora hat and dressed in a Victorian era suit with a bad ass red long coat and wire rimmed glasses showing up.

[pyrotwilight]

A very informed person made it abundantly clear to me that there's virtually always light on the moon and space in general given how many bright stars shine so Dracula should be ash already.

[jlroberson]

They do explain it, thus: Magic.

[yaseen101]

Dracula in the original novel can walk in the day light without any problems, it's just that his powers were weaker at that time.

[baihu]

I really wish the Marvel Dracula got SOME kind of re-design. His whole appearance and presence in the Marvel universe is kinda like when Buffy meets THE Dracula, but it turns out he turns into mist and that's about it.

Except this is the Marvel universe.

I mean, if he was kinda like Alucard from Hellsing, THAT'LL be kinda cool...not when he's *classic* Dracula (and not even Nosferatu classic, but cape+blah classic).

Then again, if he's the only thing stopping the sparkly type vampires getting into the Marvel universe, let's just let him keep his moon-castle.

[darkblade]

Give him a break he had only just gotten out of his prison in Avalon after being trapped um for some time.

Besides I totally dig the classic cape look. If nothing else it's better than the BDSM leather most vampires run around now a days.

[baihu]

I like my vampires in velvet red trenchcoats...

...though Alucard does has his bondage gear, he just doesn't wear it too often (and it was mostly only in the first anime anyway). And then he's got that cute fur-lined number he wears when he goes Girly-card.

[yaseen101]

He actually does wear it often in the manga and the OVA's when the fight's get tougher, he releases the 'Control Art Restriction System' to Level One and his normal long coat attire changes to the black bondage gear and allows his access to his greater powers.

[yaseen101]

Oh come on it doesn't look that bad:





but if we were to go with the cape look, I like this design:

[espanolbot]

I think that after this initial meeting Dracula adopts a kind of Napoleonic military outfit of some sort. It had a fur-lined cape anyway.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

DRACULA MEETING DOCTOR DOOM ON THE MOON.

Coolest. Meetup. Ever.

[janegray]

What does ROFFLES stand for?

[leikomgwtfbbq]

ROFL. Which stands for "rolling on the floor." Laughing uproariously and all that.

Although I suppose, in this case, it could be "rolling on the floe," considering it's a wee baby seal on a bunch of ice.

[janegray]

Can I take that seal icon? It looks so cute ^^

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Sure, go ahead. :D

[zegim]

Captain Britain and MI-13 was truly way too awesome to last.

[proteus_lives]

Doom Claims the Moon in the name of Latveria!

[shadowvalkyrie]

... I ship it.

[zordboy]

The most interesting part of that was the fact that Doom has splinters of the "true cross" incorporated into his armour, as well as the other unspecified counter-measures.

(one wonders what they could be. Garlic breath? Does he have the urine in his bladder blessed and made holy every few hours)

Damn he's a cagey bugger. He planned that far ahead, to what-if-I'm-suddenly-attacked-by-a-vampire-one-day?

Then again, now that I think about it, growing up in a comic-book Eastern Europe, vampires would probably be a real concern, wouldn't they?

[tsunamiwombat]

Are you kidding? Doom probably slays Vampires stalking his people Daily. None shall feed off of Dooms subjects except for Doom.

Thats a great story idea.. Dr. Doom: Vampire Slayer

[ravenous_raven]

not for vamps, but silver alloy or iron ore mixed in w/the steel? that'll get off those pesky werewolves and faeries...

[espanolbot]

Kinda soft and heavy though wouldn't it be?

[ravenous_raven]

hm, just realized that iron is in steel already, so maybe the silver and iron isn't needed? I suppose it matters just how much iron is in steel...but it could also be a type of exercise! "build up your muscles just by putting on your stylish Doom armor and walking around Latveria!"

[pallas_athena]

Damn, Paul Cornell gives good Doom. Which I should expect, given the extremely high FUCK YEAH quotient in his comics.
