Interesting to compare Thor here vs. Thor in his own book - he's putting forward Doom is " the best choice " solely on " Doom as individual ".

" Emperor/King " is " semantics " - Immortal Thor had a " incarnation of kingship " character that was pretty strongly defeated.

I have no idea where this takes place in Thor's timeline. Must be before he got accused of murder and exiled from Midgard? But then that throws everything else out of whack.

So the choice is let Doom continue to run the world, with no sign of him getting bored or fed up and walking away, or rely on Maria Hill - Maria Hill - to help find a way to get rid of him.
Hmm.
Is there a third option that involves leaping into the open jaws of a shark?
Because otherwise this is going to take an awful lot of time to consider.

Two months?

Has that been the norm thus far?

[cyberghostface]

Just this one.

Feels weird to have Squirrel Girl in a real story and not Jokebook Marvel. Like, I don't know, Bat-Mite being on the Justice League. Which has probably happened at some point, but still, feels weird.

Does having Brain Drain there - with no explanation given to anyone unfamiliar with the character - make it more or less weird?

All hope is on Maria Hill?

Well, I guess this is less a crossover event and more just the status quo going forward.

Honestly Doom running things seems much less ridiculous than Dark Reign...of any number of real life political developments.




"His last name is 'Doom'!"

Meanwhile John Puppykicker has had another rough week. If only people would give him a chance.

Maria Hill is against Doom? Maybe we haven't given him a fair enough chance.

How much do you wanna bet it turns out all of this was somehow Maria Hill’s fault again? Maybe she’s why the Blood Hunt was so devastating and wide-reaching, or maybe Doom’s “secret” is really hers and he’s either playing cleanup or taking advantage of yet another one of her “greater good” screwups.

"Someone, might be me might be someone else, hooked the Purple Kids into an apparatus to make the world leaders suggestible. For... reasons. And then I... I mean someone... forgot the thing on their Latverian holiday."

"Oh, and a Cosmic Cube too."

[scorntx]

"Hey, I'm only using these kids because the puppies didn't survive the test run.

... what? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ah, Johnny Storm putting his hand over his mouth so Marvel doesn't have to show his moustache! They're really scared of that thing, huh?
