I was going to post about that but I see you got it covered, Ray I am very fond of this series since it has reunited these two teammates from Avengers A.I. , a little gem of a series. Runaways is a lot of fun too but Kris Anka is no longer doing the interiors, which have been very good. But I see he is still doing covers.

Is Doom involved in the War of the Realms. No way he’s going to just roll over for an Elf.

Unknown. It would be a natural one supposes but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The Russos would love to bring Doctor Doom (https://www.cbr.com/avengers-endgame...r-doom-kraven/) into the MCU.

And since they are huge Secret Wars fans (and Doom is the protagonist of Secret Wars) and that seems likely to be the next big mega-event around the corner...I think Doom will be coming to MCU sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the alert. It's always good to see that even with this big movie coming up, the Russo brothers are still expressing a keen interest in Doom. I guess this will prove something to the naysayers in the Fantastic Four appreciation thread. I love the quote from Joe Russo "I just love the sort of Shakespearean mythology behind him as a character. And he's another fascinating character that you know has different interpretations in the books. So I think you can shade him in really complex ways."

Because of the vast Marvel Library, Anthony Russo joked "We could die working at Marvel"

[Ravin' Ray]

I'm so glad they've publicly expressed the interest.

On another note, this Marvel.com article flew under the radar… it was posted nearly a month ago.

Don't Turn Your Back on Doctor Doom

Honestly that looks more like Reed's face to me.

Thanks, Holt I haven't seen one yet in my area but will keep looking.

Yeah, I thought so too when I saw the previews from the Toy Fair earlier this year

Here is a tantalizing bit of unpublished Doom history. Possibly even Doom 2099. I follow a Facebook account 2099 Bytes and it had a link to Heritage Auctions for a an unpublished page featuring Doctor Doom or very possibly Doom 2099 and Doctor Strange. It's hard to tell what the story was about from just these two pages and the artist Bill Jaaska passed away in 2009 at age 48. It's too bad there's no information known on this piece. The artist is one I am not familiar with but it makes me sad to say he died alone in a rooming house in Milwaukee. His life story was a very tragic one, as noted on this blog.

We can see that this was a talented artist and it is sad to know that he may have had vision problems that cut his career short.

I didn't see this yet in the local Walgreens but here is a video review of it..

Doom would be perfect for the MCU. TBH, I'm more excited about Doom being in the MCU than I am about the FF appearing. Doom's backstory can easily be altered to fit the MCU without even including the FF. I feel like he definitely has the charisma to be the next big-bad of the MCU once all this Thanos stuff wraps up.

I might try to find one today but the review doesn't leave me hopeful. Frankly I wish that it did have a closer sculpt to its appearance in the comics. Just that slight bit of extra detail goes a long way to making the figure stand out. While Victor and Tony did have pretty similar suits, Victor's does have a few differences beyond the cape.

I like the Fantastic Four more so than I like the Avengers but I prefer Doom to arrive in the MCU without depending on the debut of the Fantastic Four. I just hope movie fans who aren't familiar with the comic book Doctor Doom aren't too influenced by the failed versions that Fox tried to foist upon us. These statements by the Russo brothers and the fact that Noah Hawley planned on launching a solo film for him are encouraging signs that they don't consider Doom too badly damaged by them. And when they talk about their love of Secret Wars , etc you know that they've read the iconic appearances. I know their planned films for the next couple of years seem to be pretty locked in but I hope we see Doom maybe come 2023? That's just a guess on my part.

I was quite surprised we would be getting any Infamous Doom figure at all. I like that the cape is removable and that you can swap the heads and hands. I just wish Marvel editorial wasn't so quick to go back to classic Doom since IMO the time spent as Infamous Iron Man wouldn't have been wasted. It would be one way to get fans used to Doom doing a redesign of his own instead of just using Tony's armor and adding some enhancements.
