Fantastic Four #1 Preview and Spoilers

Learn what bisexuality is.

Why didn't you tell Bendis this?

[Iron Maiden]

Doom was never heroic. Infamous Iron Man was about him murdering other villains, turning his back on Latveria, getting trolled by Mephisto, and knocking up Tony Stark's former girlfriend.

I guess you're forgetting the part where Doom saved Rhodey and Stark when the Hood/Demon was going to take over their bodies, I presume as a means to run Stark industries and gain power through influence. He also was looking out for Ben and Johnny in Marvel Two in One. He did step away from Latveria and probably should have made sure General Karadick didn't screw things up. But the point was to make Latveria independent. Shouldn't that be a good thing?

As for Amara, bad on Bendis for not showing when they decided to become intimate. I'd rather they didn't but Amara does think she has fallen in love. I'm sure Slott will probably deal with it as best he can.

The Hood targeted Stark's company because he assumed that Stark and Doom were allies. Doom was only cleaning up his own mess. And since when is the Hood a threat to Iron Man or War Machine outside of plot induced stupidity?

Saying Victor was cleaning up his mess makes him sound heroic and defeats your argument though.

I was schleep.

It's also a stretch to characterize it as something Victor caused. At no point did he have control over Stark's companies anyway. There was a pretty public battle with his Mom and the board. And it was quite obvious that the Hood was in possession of some kind of Demon. His face was exposed in their fight and the demon even said as much... that he was using Parker Robbins form. Bendis admittedly pulled that out of his.....hat. There was no indication until the two of them battled alone. After all, the Hood was one of the 3 or 4 dozen criminal types that Doom rounded up in the beginning of Infamous Iron Man. He was taken care of pretty easily them. Wasn't Victor's fault that the facilities at the Raft couldn't hold them.

duplicate post.....Yikes. things are still pretty bad.

that's one interpretation. me, personally, I see it as a sign of adulthood. he endangered Tony Stark and a lot of other people by waging war on the villain community. and he did a half-*** job of it. the Hood and his gang were in a position to retaliate while Doom got the woman he was stalking pregnant. you call it heroism. so I guess, by your standards, flushing a toilet is heroic.

Bendis is not subtle. the Hood didn't get much dialogue. since you have the issues, go back and count how many times the Hood mentions Stark's name and wondering if Doom and Stark are in an alliance. then count the number of times that he or his gang threaten retaliation.

If someone draws the wrong conclusion I don't see how it isn't anyone's fault but their own.

the Hood's conclusion was logical. Victor von Doom was running around using the name of Iron Man. it's not something Tony Stark would give his blessing to. yet Tony Stark wasn't known, by the villain community, to be out of action. Stark was not on the Hood's radar until Victor took action. Victor's failed war on the villain community led to the Hood seeking retribution. He looked in Latveria. no Victor. it's a straight line to Stark's place. take Victor out of the equation and the Hood's still robbing banks.

Really looking forward to reading this tomorrow.

I know suspension of disbelief plays a big part in superhero comics. I know that readers of superhero comics aren't really big sports fans. But I have to say it, Slott is really pushing it if he expects me to believe that Johnny Storm is a Mets fan. Ben Grimm I can totally see cheering for the tire fire that is the Mets. Johnny Storm has done nothing but root for the Yankees because they are New York royalty. They are winners. Men want to be them. Women want to be with them. That is how Johnny views himself. Maybe Slott still had some lingering Peter Parker characterization because I can totally see him at a Mets game.

What's next Johnny Storm goes to a Cleveland Browns game? If your going to do something sports related, do it right.
