Now I'm wanting a series of pics like that "Vader's Little Princess" book with Uncle Victor and Val.

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!
The Amazing Adventures of Valeria and Doom!

[arilou_skiff]

Valeria seems to have entered the strange ageless land of Marvel Children.

I know they play fast and loose with Valeria's age, but yeesh she looks like 10.

On the plus side, no one has given her boobs yet.

"Dry your tears, child. You do not need Franklin -Richards-. I can build you a far superior sibling... Franklin von DOOM! He will do all your chores for you, and never pulls your hair, and always want to play the games YOU want to play! Doesn't that sound so much better? Just say the words and I can have him built within the hour."

And then, Franklin von Doom will become evil and will want to conquer the world.

Doom: I did not forsee this turn of events....

[chonaku55]

And then, Franklin von Doom do a heel face turn and become a important part of the Runaways team.

(Ultron somewhere : I know the feeling)

It's weird to see Doom using first person pronouns instead of shouting in the third person. It fits with the way he's treating Valeria, but it's still a bit odd.

aaaawwwweee this is cute....

[katefan]

Just curious; is Valeria aware that Doom once sent Franklin to Hell? Or that he used to use her to spy on Reed? Or that Doom used to bake dissidents in ovens?

Has Reed told Valeria any of this? It's like letting your kid hang out with Joe Stalin or Gaddafi.

[chonaku55]

And if Valeria knew already everything... ?

[obsidianwolf]

Then that what if issue where she was a monster would turn out to be true.

[bardbrain]

I'm not sure that she would care if she knew...|

But I imagine Reed is too busy trying to figure out how to destroy alternate earths.

Ugh I wish they had retconned Waid's abomination of a storyline like they did with Grant Morrison's Planet X, but it seems that they're just happy to ignore it.

Anyway, Valeria said in her letter that she wants to help him become a better person.

Actually, it was referenced and flashed back to in one panel in this very issue.

[flint_marko]

It was briefly shown in a montage with the other stuff Doom's done, but overall it hasn't been personally brought up in any of Doom's interactions with the FF since then (besides the issue where JMS brought him back, though Reed and Sue just asked him how he escaped from Hell), AFAIK.

Though who knows, maybe will Robinson will deal with it more.
