S.W.O.R.D. #7 - "Full Spectrum Diplomacy"

[laughing_tree]

I understand if readers feel burned, though — dark deeds have been committed in the field of crossover tie-ins over the years, for which we must atone. Ask not for whom the Beyonder poops, Spider-Man. He poops for thee. All I can really do is give you my word that you can read this issue entirely on its own and have a good time, that any part of “The Last Annihilation” can be enjoyed entirely by itself, and that I designed this story specifically with that in mind. Or I could go all in and tell you that this issue ALSO connects with my Hulk run. -- Al Ewing

I must admit I miss the days when the X-Men had good relations with Doom.
That they had Magneto on the team and go along with Doom went a long way in my head canon to explain why the other hero teams like the Avengers and FF kept them at arms length back when the books were separated more.

I always thought after he saved Kitty life, they should have brought Masque around for a visit.

I mean, i think this *is* Doom being on good terms with someone.

Yeah- if Doom could turn off the overbearing arrogance just because it was in his interests to do so, he'd be a very different character.

With all Doom has done to mutantkind and in general it might be hard for them to get back to that footing
