Victor Von Doom
Fist of teh Internets.
Nice wrap up.
Synopsis:
We start with the last scene from #28. Reed laying over Sue's dead body with Johnny crying. Meanwhile the Skrull King taunts them by asking who will avenge Sue's death? Infuriated...Reed goes super-stretchy and tries to surround the King. One he thinks he has the King trapped, Reed tells Ben and his girlfriend to get outta here, then for Johnny to go supernova. Johnny burns out what last energy he has with what seems to be some big Dragonball fire explosion. Too bad the King wasn't fazed.
The King then kills Reed and Johnny.
Away from the attack we find Ben with his dying girlfriend. She bites it as the King arrives in front of Ben. The King then explains that all the people who took the pill are dead. The individuals who had powers before the pills (mutants and mystical beings like Thor) are being exterminated one by one. King counts down how many people are left on Earth until it is literally just Ben.
Ben begins to laugh. The King asks why and Ben reiterates the statement about how the King's suit allows him to copy any metahuman's powers within such and such radius. But then Ben asks "What do you copy if there's nothing to copy?"
This fact hits the King harder than a ton of bricks. Ben smiles and proceeds to go "Clobberin' Time!" on the King. Once beaten, the King is actually exposed as a frail little weakling in a big suit. Ben takes the suit from him and the King dies from Earth's atmosphere.
Ben heads off hoping to save the world. He heads back to the Baxter Building and uses Reed's time machine to go back in time. He reappears before himself like a day earlier. Come to find out....that Super Skrull that we saw in the last 2 issues who kept popping up at random was actually Ben in the suit. :shock:
Ben finally shows up at the accident site and sabotages the N-Zone machine. Rock Ben sees this and clobbers himself. When Rock Ben finds out who it really is...he's already touching himself (don't snicker....I). The time-spiders attack and it's kinda hard to tell what happens from there. We know that Human Ben was able to jump one more time into the past.
We then cut to current day. Reed and Sue are talking to the Fearsome Four in the containment room. They warn UU Reed that they will break out from their prison in a week.
Then cut to the park present day. Newspaper headline reads that an ancient alien corpse was found in South America (clarification for the non-smart: Ben in the suit). Ben is on the bench crying and a girl walks up on him and notices him crying. She says she likes that in a man and that her stepdad is an angry controlling person. She starts hitting on him. She says her name is Alicia Masters.....and they continue chatting.
Final page we see a shadowy figure in a hooded cape....IT'S DOCTOR DOOM!!!! He says to initiate the plan.......
Great issue. Nice to see Ben whup-*** in human form too.
Could the introduction of Alicia be a small prelude to Ultimate Puppet Master?!?!? That's got me giddy and rolling on the floor laughing just thinking about it. I mean how does that sound outloud??? ULTIMATE PUPPET MASTER!!!! :lol:
One thing I noticed....and I might be wrong....but does anyone notice how it looked like they changed artist on the last 2-3 pages? It doesn't look like Land's work. The coloring is the same.....just not the look.
All in all...4.5/5
