scans_dailyIn stand-alone issue #17, this title returns to form, returning to its roots based in humor and fun within the Marvel mutant universe, with a focus on what exactly Doop does for the Jean Grey school. The WHOLE dang issue deserves to be on Scans_Daily for a lot of reasons because of the art, the humor, the situations, the moments of heroism and depravity.
Seriously, make sure you have your big kid pants on and take a gut check before reading on, as this will make you fall of your chair laughing.
Doop - Best there is at what he does, and what he does....
Wolverine has to bend over backwards and jump through hoops to get Doop to agree to work at the school. Here are some of his errands.
(and yes, I know what you are thinking. Today the role of a fun-loving Wolverine will be played by shirtless Hugh Jackman.)
And you may ask... what EXACLTY does Doop do for the school?
Take one for the team.... frequently.
No,seriously, I picked it up Friday and caught myself laughing during the weekend at odd moment because I remembered a few of the hilarious panels.

Also, Doop and Daken should hook up. I've read Doop's issue of Marvel Romance, I can see it working.

That's about all that is known about it.

Date: 2012-10-01 06:30 pm (UTC)I can see some teams now: Team Avengers, lead by She Hulk, Tigra and Doop, with Lyra and a few reserve Avengers and Academy kids filling out the team.
Team Groovy with Dazzler, Black Cat, Misty Knight, Coleen Wing, Tarantula and a few other street heroes of funkiness.
Team X-Gals with Rogue, Psylocke, Storm, Kitty and a few other X-ladies.
And a few super-villainess teams (One lead by Scienstis Supreem of AIM Monica Rapaciini, another by Madam Hydra, another by Mystique)all compete for fun, glory and cosmic prizes--so decrees the Grandmaster!
It's like the under-used Unlimited Class Wrestling. The possibilities for fun are everywhere, but I bet Marvel would rather focus on the seedy underbelly of such things.

I actually picked this issue up to give the book a second chance, I'd been waiting for AvX to end so I could get onboard, only to find the last issue both uncompelling as a new reader and linked to AvX, so when this issue turned out to great I was immensely pleased.

Date: 2012-10-01 10:10 pm (UTC)Then Uncanny gets all the grit and we say Team Scott are evil and terrible compared to Team Wolverine.
Hmm.
Anyway, Doops pretty cool, fun... I want X-Statix back.

Date: 2012-10-02 12:29 am (UTC)Both are canon, and to have this as a result right after Schism is annoying, not a fair playing field.
Then AvX made everything odd and annoying.

But never mind, I'm significantly older, and very probably fartier, than you are. :)
