Maybe they can catch up through Zoom, probably at noon, for a discussion about Dune, or even blast out some tunes! Better fix a date soon, or they might lose the room, and their hopes to resume will be sadly go boom - or even be entombed...

...one can only assume.

Zoom

Don't you mean Doom?

[numeronone]

Where, what or whom?

[cainofdreaming]

There's no Zoom in Latveria, only Doom.

Which is way better, as it was programmed by Doom.

But wouldn’t leapfrogging to the instant before the Big Bang collide Doom head-on with Sise-Neg cornering all the universe’s magic to become an omnipotent God?

I believe its worse: Richards also restarted the universe. Also, his son did so once as well.

And baby Doom makes three four.

Though some of those happened in the previous Cosmos.

Nice Fox McCloud cosplay.

I was wondering if anyone else would catch that first.

I guess JMS got bored of writing Captain America and decided to start writing random team-ups instead. Even the end of his Cap run was basically a Thor story.

JMS has done Cap, Thor, and Spider-Man. All he really needs now is to write Iron Man for the hat trick.

This is the first of six 'Marvel 2-in-1' style issues that JMS is doing, so that's pretty much right on.

JMS's first six issues of his Cap run were incredible -- one of the best Captain America stories I've ever read. Seriously, go seek it out if you haven't seen it. It's largely a flashback to pre-serum Steve Rogers and a motley gang of friends and allies trying to stop a Nazi plot centered around the real life German-American Bund rally at Madison Square Garden. It brilliantly and subtly establishes that even before Steve was Cap, he had a shield -- the community of people around him, who he helped and who helped him in a web of mutual kindness and care.

There's an incredible sequence taking place in multiple time periods simultaneously. There's Doctor Strange astral-projecting into an action figure. It's superb.

Then he finished up that story and ... man, I can't even figure out how to summarize what came next. But it sure wasn't that.

Heroism that the Kids At Home can do.

I knew from the cover, nay, the title, that I was going to love this.

So far, I'm not wrong.

With the 'why?' scene, Mr Straczynski may have outdone himself with a cringe-inducing Doom 'joke' that outdoes the boasting of his ignorance of winkles.
