Oh please Victor, you know you find Moondragon hot.

[silicone_soul]

I believe Doom is "negging" her.

[bradhanon]

I am deeply ashamed that I even know what that means...

[silicone_soul]

If it makes you feel any better in comparison, I once read halfway through "The Game."

[lissa_quon]

Baldy locks?

No really...Baldy-locks?!

I would have expected something more intelligent and classier from Doom.

[grazzt]

Well, he can't call her a cow or compare her to furniture.

[hatman]

Clearly, it's a malfunctioning Doombot. Happens all the time.

[glprime]

Obvious in hindsight.

[lissa_quon]

Of course, he really needs to get those fixed they seem to malfunction so often these days.

[darkblade]

I've come to the conclusion there is no real Dr. Doom anymore. Just a series of malfunctioning Doombots.

[hatman]

Unfortunately, one of them escaped into our world. I believe he currently goes by Joe Quesada.

I would have expected something more intelligent and classier from Doom.

Forget it, Jake, it's Spidey Super Stories.

[crinos]

Spidey Super Stories.

Besides, still better than when he called Ms. Marvel a fat whore.

[golden_orange]

It is something of a comedown.

[deepspaceartist]

One, 'baldy-locks'? Really? That's all Doom's got? I'm beginning to beginning to think Victor is just faking genius, and has a real one locked up somewhere that he takes all his ideas from.

And two, Superman's not even from the same Earth as Doom. He could just punt the chromed douchbag into the stratosphere and go home. And I don't think Superman really approves of murderous dictators anywas.

[hyperactivator]

Oh that's one of Superman's weaknesses. He doesn't get involved in affairs of state.

[icon_uk]

Actually, that Superman IS from the same Earth as Doom IIRC, since it takes place on the world where Marvel and DC characters co-exist.

[thokstar]

The great thing about the Luke Cage panel is that it's a 100% accurate mostly complete summary of the issue in question.

[lieut_kettch]

Two words, Victor: Squirrel Girl.

[hatman]

lol, nice! I especially love the Luke Cage bit. I'm curious about context, but I have a feeling it's much better not knowing. Too much fun as it is.

[glprime]

/spoilsport

Long and short: Doom hired Luke's services and then stiffed him on the bill.

[hatman]

That is indeed cracktacular. Thank you.

(And that's what I get for reading the now-defunct Dave's Long Box instead of the "rival" Super-Blog.)

[wasabi.livejournal.com]

Hmm...Luke's services. Bow chicka bow bow?

[glprime]

"[I] needed a black, and I needed to hire him. Enter: Luke Cage.

Dr. Doom. Refined class and literal-mindedness.

[sinisterlink]

It's actually even funnier WITH the context. I remember parts of the issue being posted on the old scans_daily and the whole thing is just hilarious crack.

[bradhanon]

Doom owed Cage $200 and stiffed him. Not 'cause Doom hasn't got $200, but because he's a huge asshole.

Luke Cage's response was, quite literally, to invade Latveria. Borrowed a lift from Reed Richards (I might be misremembering that part) and beat the bejesus out of half of the country on his way to Doom to get his $200.

Some people consider this an overreaction, some consider it a matter of principle. I consider it brilliant. Because that is the kind of shit you only have to do ONCE. You know that ever since then, every few weeks, someone in New York has this conversation:

"Yeah, I owe Luke some dough, but he can wait. That plasma screen is too sweet to pass up."

"Are you nuts? Man, you pay Luke first, before you buy FOOD! You heard about what he did one time for a lousy two hundred bucks?"

[hatman]

According to the summary/review linked above by glprime, he did indeed "borrow" the lift from Reed.

And yes, good point. Flying transatlantic to collect on $200 may seem like an overreaction, but it is good long-term business. Seemed to get some respect from Doom, too, and that doesn't come cheap.

[kirke_novak]

For some reason "Then Dr Doom showed up!" is the most hilarious narration ever. Beggs to add "and he was scary! Really scary!"

[kainnived.livejournal.com]

Marvel should have a "Month of Doom" where every title has a "Then Dr. Doom showed up!" momment. Yes with that naration box.

[darkblade]

Deadpool: That wasn't one of you two was it?
White Box: Nope
Yellow Box: Not me.
Deadpool: Huh I wonder why that would even be there.


Woo! I wrote a tie-in! :p

[mullon]

If you have a black friend who is into comics and has a decent sense of humor and is coming over for a visit, I totally reccomend greeting him/her like that, possibly without mentioning the Fantastic Four's craft.

[autolychus2]

Doom had better take his cold, iron hands from around Ash's muscular neck before Ash goes all golden shower on him. DOES DOOM KNOW NOT WITH WHOM HE MESSETH?

[salamangkiero]

Luke Cage still wins for best repartee on this one.

[glprime]

It is my most favorite "debt collector" line in all fandom.

[magnetic_regina]

What's to keep me from peeling away that tin suit and--

You have no idea how much or how little he's wearing underneath.
