Yeah, the plot sounds weird so it's hard to guess whether it's going to be much related to recent events or not, but it definitely seems to be going with a sympathetic angle on Doom, which is already much better than I was expecting until we got a new writer on the F4. Plus even if it doesn't engage with the SW/IIM stuff, with an ongoing there's always hope it will survive to pass on to another writer who might do more with it. (And though I don't like Larroca's art, he's still a relatively known name who's done high-profile stuff, so at least it feels like they're putting a bit of a push behind the book rather than tossing it out as a halfassed experiment with a newbie creative team.)
Actually, just the fact they're trying another Doom-centric ongoing this soon is probably the most exciting thing. I sort of figured they'd written Infamous off as not successful enough and weren't going to try again for years, but if they've decided it's worth launching another one already, then they may keep trying different takes even if this one fails. I wouldn't even complain about Doom getting the constant relaunches treatment if it means we get a bunch of different creative teams having a stab at Doom-centric stories.
