Dr. Doom Director of SHIELD inc.
(which is a book that would fail gloriously, obv, since Vic has a habit of Getting Shit Done when it comes to running an org)
Man.... why did you have to bring that up... too harsh.

How many books are they letting Bendis write at once!?!
4, same as he's doing now (not counting Civil War II).
Nah, the pattern is that a villain takes over a character people give a shit about.
So Magneto in Goldballs' body?

Cyclops already became Magneto about 4 years ago
More like... Gambit in Goldballs' body. He's a villain for existing in 2016.
Everyone thinks that the start of events are pretty good. Then we're in for an expected yet rude surprise.
Oohhh.. So they didn't reboot the universe?
Promoting the character who took the mantle to elebate him to A-Lister, while pushing the iconic Character to stay relevant and reaping the rewards of the mass influx of casual readers from the movie boom.
That's why all the main movie characters have both the original and the legacy running around.

Why all the gloom? It's obviously a Doom bot.

Marvel jumped the shark a long time ago. Can't believe I'm saying this but Disney needs to clean house and just make the MCU the default universe for a while.

Bendis is a one of the main reasons I avoid most Marvel. His crap influence.is prevalent.

I'm hyped as hell for this. Bendis on a non-event book is fine by me.
Should get one or two good arcs out of it atleast.

I'm guessing Victor is gonna wear his Doom outfit mixed with Stark Tech. Post-SW he's had no reason to wear it now that his face was cured and looks like a model.
Shit has it really been that long?
I really need to start branching out as I am so far behind and out of the loop with just reading Astonishing Spider-Man.
Two different characters meaning, two different storyline plus they can target two different type of readers.
For example Peter Parker; Spider-Man is in charge of a big company whereas Miles Morales Spider-Man is a high school teenager.
Whoa, they give Spider-Man 2099 a new costume?
Looks pretty nice.
I dunno when I first started reading Marvel I found it easier to keep track but when I tried DC I just got lost and confused.

Sam Wilson's book launched last year. Roger's new book launched last month.
The reception in the stories and outside of them proves that's not the case. Falcon standing for a cause means something different than Captain America standing for one.
Beyond that, you'll sell more of a Sam Wilson: Captain America book than a Falcon book. Marvel used to do this semi-successful thing where one character would take over another's book. Daredevil goes away? Enter Black Panther: Man Without Fear. Hulk gone? Enter the Incredible Hercules. This is an extension of that concept, I assume because it sells better.
That said, I wonder if the reception will be the same.
I would like to see the reverse...one hero multiple identities.
I like that Spidey seriously considered sticking with Prodigy because he got so much love in that costume.

But wouldn't a Doctor Doom book sell as good as this would? I thought he was popular enough to support his own title.
Him wearing an Iron Man suit (even modified) sounds like a downgrade and disinterests me. The only way I'll forgive it is if it is like how LexLuthor is currently trying to steal away Superman's mantle.

He very light sensitive for some odd reason.
It is really the return of the 90s.

Is this offer still valid?Hmm... always pegged him as a Hulk guy.

In a book starring Doctor Doom it would have to go in that direction otherwise I highly doubt he's doing it just to have a change of heart.
