I think Galactus is just kind of done. He's lost too many times to take seriously, so now he's just another mook like Mole Man.

Like, what has Sue done so far? I can't think of anything.
I'd usually be upset, but I'm just tired.
I think my issue and the reason why I'm just underwhelmed is that it looks like we are still in that table setting phase. We haven't gotten to the actual story yet, it's just more setting up for the future. This Galactus thing looks like it's to setup Doom for whatever future storyline is planned for him. I feel like last issue and this issue could have been cut together into one.
I am not looking forward to the next two issues. I'm not in the mood to see the FF play second fiddle to Doom again, this issue was more than enough of that.

Be sure to check out the Invisible Woman appreciation thread!
Agreed, but Johnny isn't exactly Reed, so you can at least forgive him for not realizing the difference in the heat of the moment.
He actually had a good run for years, but the revision to world devourer may unfortunately bring a revision to villain of the week status.
I can only recall Doom getting a one up on him when he's gained items of great power (and even in that case the two instances I recall in the original Secret Wars and that goofy Eric Larsen mini had retcons after the fact).
I'm actually expecting Galactus to realize he's Galactus and the FF and Doom will need to work together to save everyone.
As for Sue, I'm with you. I KNOW the Reed/Doom takes center stage, but if Johnny, Ben, the kids, and Alicia can get time, Sue needs more than not being able to sing.
I think the story can still work. I love what's being done with characters that aren't Sue, Doom, or Galactus. Slott seems to have found a voice for them and is doing a good job with the kids. But Sue, Doom, and Galactus need to find a place in post-SW Marvel. I mean, I got a marvel previews at my LCS today with Galactus appearing in Dr Strange. Actually the more I go on, the worse my feelings about the book get.
But despite it all, I did like this issue. "NO, No flying trucks." "Man, when did Aunt Alicia become such a buzzkill?"
The thing is most of the time Doom is the underdog in a fight ....he just doesn't believe it.
That may be the truest thing ever written about Doom (other than he is the best villain
It's true Doom gets into a fight with a god (Galactus Beyonder, etc.) and doesn't seem to think he will lose...his ego is one of his greatest strengths but also ultimately his achillies heel ...but that is why he is such a complex beautifully written character...his almost Shakespearean dialogue is a thing of beauty...and thank you Dan for giving us a great Doom....
Ben tanked a Galactablast.
Dan read the Moon Girl arc. MOON GIRL IS COMING TO SLAY!
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
In Secret Wars, that was the case. He needed the power of Galactus to challenge the Beyonder but even that wasn't enough. While the Beyonder was dissecting him, it distracted the Beyonder to activate some tech thing he built to absorb the Beyonders power. I remember in the Eric Larsen mini, he collected some powerful items like the Horn of Atlantic, the Cosmic Cube, etc until he gets powerful enough to challenge Galactus.
