Avengers: The Children's Crusade #7

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here are a couple scans from the latest issue of this Avengers mini.

I'm conflicted about it.

But DOOM! is always enjoyable.

Enjoy!



I do love this cover.



I add a thought bubble in my version, "Yes, DOOM hits this on a regular basis."

Anyway. The Avengers and the X-Men have "Shut up! No, you shut up!" super-fight and Wanda puts the whammy on them all and transports herself and the Young Avengers to a place of safety...



But it isn't! Turns out in a TWIST! that Wanda's Psycho-outing was partially caused by Victor. Wanda came to him after her children "died" and he helped her control the "Life Force" and it didn't work out. One House of M later Doom's scouts found Wanda and brought her to him.

Wanda wants to restore the mutant race and then be rid of this extra power. Victor promises to help her do so.



Wiccan, Wanda and Doom begin their mojo but Patriot interferes and disrupts the ceremony. Big boom and Wanda gasps that all that extra power is gone. Where did it go??



Oh, we're doing Secret Wars now? Ok, just so we're clear.

...You know, when I first saw that cover, I dared to dream Heinberg was going to give Doom and Wanda's relationship some sort of graceful coda where she acknowledged she'd seen another side of him before breaking it off, and that was enough to make me a very happy Doom fan. Then he went and did something eleventy times more awesome instead. Feel free to keep writing Doom forever, Heinberg.

Huh, Doom's white angel outfit at the end there is a lot like his FF uniform, aside from the gold trim. Maybe this story is the origin of Doom wearing white. If we ever find out where it fits in the timeline.

Also, it amuses me that you can basically rank the power levels of all the Awesome Cosmic Forces in the Marvel-verse based on a system of whether Doom uses them to fix his scars when he inevitably steals them. For Doom, this is your average Tuesday afternoon.

PS, hey, Patriot, not that that isn't a perfectly justified suspicious rant, but he calls himself Doctor Doom because Von Doom is his name, not because he's devoted to making the world more doom-y. That's like you saying if Kate took over the world you'd all be living in the World of Bishop and that's proof it would be religious.
