There's no way that T'Challa is surprised by Johnny sleeping with the bride. That's got to be like... contingency plan #3 for any wedding he attends.

[icon_uk]

T'Challa had money on Johnny having slept with Victor, not Zora.

[icon_uk]

Why do I have this weird suspicion that Zora is not quite as she seems, she's GOT to be playing both sides against the middle here right? So she gets Symkaria AND latveria for herself?

[nyadnar17]

Honestly if she doesn't then she's not good enough for Doom.

Feels like a weird thing to say about a murderous, narcists, tyrant. But he deserves better than a Bride that won't even at least attempt a coup with 3 of the smartest people on the planet watching her every move.

May her reign be Victorious!

[mazway_75]

Doom's reaction to her conning him? "This PROVES you are meant to be mine!"

"Victor, I was playing you."

"With great pleasure! Our reign shall be glorious!"

"Victor..."

"You see, Richards, this is what it means to marry one almost near your equal!"

"He's not listening, is he?"

[panthyr]

It didn't have to be like this...

...but Namor just *had* to LOL at Doom in public. The only thing worse would have been if RICHAAARRRRRRDS had been the one to lose it.

[zachbeacon]

Namor is SO happy he didn't miss this.

[scorntx]

"This is better than anything I could have dreamed of!"

[icon_uk]

Now he's EXTRA happy that Doom had left little dispoable cameras on each table so guests could take photos of the reception, because he needs photographic evidence of THIS mess!

[thanekos]

" Hahahahahahaha! I win the betting pool! " - Namor

[dan_ingram]

Well, at least they didn't drag this dumb story out.

...still pretty dumb, though.

[john_wyatt]

I agree. I am getting tired of the FF being friendly stooges to Vic. Given their history, why would Reed, under any circumstances, bother with a game that leads to him agreeing to be Doom's best man?
I know the real answer is that Dan Slott couldn't think of a good idea but still wanted the FF to be party of the wedding party.

And, now the issue ends with the FF and others under threat even though they so graciously came to the wedding. What trusting clowns. Did Reed really think Lucy Von Doom wouldn't pull away the football?

[silverhammerman]

Given the openly political nature of Doom's marriage proposal, it really seems like if Victorious had chosen anything by the absolute worst time to make that confession his reaction would have been "So what?"

[mister_terrific]

"Hear now the words of Doom: who wouldn't have?"

[icon_uk]

"Hear now the words of Doom: who here can honestly say they haven't? Well, except you Susan, you're exempt."

[leahandillyana]

Ah yes, imperial Russian fashion in a context it doesn't belong.

[icon_uk]

Doom would just explain that thanks to his time machine, it was Imperial Russia that was just following Latverian tradition.

[mazway_75]

And yes, Reed stretching his arm across three panels to smack Johnny is a fun visual.

[zachbeacon]

It is but on the panels where they zoom out its clear they're standing right next to each other so I can't decide if it makes it more funny or less funny.

[iamrman]

Ha. Namor's reaction was the best part of the entire issue.

[super_fly]

Wow, what an uh-mazing way to end a wedding issue: "lol cuck"

[ap0cryphal]

dan slott getting to write big name titles baffles me as much as greg land getting art duties on big name titles. the quality's about the same.

[deh_tommy]

He writes fun stuff, he can be pretty decent with character drama, the way he plays with panel layouts is neat and he presents interesting enough ideas and concepts that capture people’s attention and imagination.

[ap0cryphal]

I read through most of his Iron Man run and right now I literally can't recall a single thing from it beyond soap opera romance shenangans with Jacosta and Machine Man

[deh_tommy]

Tony Stark is working on virtual reality while battling an identity crisis over if he’s the real Tony Stark or just an A.I. duplicate that thinks he’s him after Captain Marvel essentially killed him back in Civil War II: The Inhumans Take Manhattan.

[zachbeacon]

I really enjoy him on the secondary books. Its just a shame the guy who wrote the Spider-Man issue of She-Hulk and the Spidey/Human Torch mini didn't show up more when he wrote Amazing Spider-Man.

[john_wyatt]

When the Outhousers pointed out that most of his Silver Surfer scripts were Dr. Who fanfic, it really cemented my dislike of his work. The stories about how he can't hit a deadline only make him look worse to me. I haven't liked much of anything of his for years.

[cyberghostface]

Slott’s been upfront with the Dr. Who inspiration since the start.

[john_wyatt]

Yeah, I wasn't reading Slott's Silver Surfer (I think I started to get sick of Slott pretty quickly in his Spidey run.), but Outhousers (Jude Terror probably) was pretty snarky talking about that run/DrWhoLite, brining it to the front of my mind and leading me to facepalm.
