Avengers: The Children's Crusade #8

djotaku's Avengers: The Children's Crusade #8 review

Manga-Doom!

Last issue Doom ended up with Scarlett Witch's reality altering powers. In this issue he uses it to turn himself into a Shojo character. Seriously, all I could think about for the first few pages with his shiny face were those girly-looking guys in anime/manga who are all sparkly. It was a bit distracting.

Anyway, this issue is half - "is wanda really that bad? Hasn't every super hero had a bad day where they killed someone?" and half awesome Doom-fight.

In this issue Doom claims to be the real person behind M-Day. Is he bluffing to mess with Wanda's mind or is Marvel about to do one helluva retcon? I just read M-Day stuff this year as I caught up to what's been happening to the X-Men since I last read in the mid-90s. I don't recall seeing any hints that Doom was involved. Also, he's not a mutant, so why would he have created a world where mutants were on top?

Anyway, it's an interesting mini-series and I think next issue is supposed to tie into Hope's origins or something. So check that out in Feb.

I’ve read some online boards where people say this book is too drawn out and too much going on at once. Well to those people I say HA! What are you talking about? If it had 4 issues and came out ...

Just recently this series has been updated instead happening after "Siege" story arc this story takes place after "Fear Itself" storyline. However it still works for me. So we have Doctor Doom with the altering reality powers that Scarlet Witch once had. This story plays out the way it should, very nice. The art work is great, the story flows we ease and great emotion spoken out the characters with great art and writing. This series has been classic so far. When this series comes out on trade I ...
