There certainly was a lot to digest in this issue. And I thought the same thing as you; that Doom is being constantly assailed with these various conflicts and with Kang randomly popping up. It probably brings back unpleasant memories to his youth when his family was harassed from place to place and then later when he was hunted by the authorities when he was on his own leading a small band of rebels.
It certainly is a contrast to Bendis's style in Infamous Iron Man. On the other boards, Bendis got a reputation for decompression so that you could become impatient with the slow development of the story. Cantwell seems to like to keep many balls in the air at the same time. I prefer the latter but I hope we get more info on some of the ones Cantwell has set aside, like what will Mistress Death demand of him now that he owes his life to her. I am also growing suspicious of Kang but I suppose Cantwell is using him as a sort of comic relief for now. But one never knows what version may show up with a time traveler like that.
I also agree about Blue Marvel. I really have never read much about him and he does seem to get "jobbed" as they say. Silver Sable should not be able to toss him like that. From what I do know, he is like a sane version of Sentry in level of power.
The courtship of Fruszina has hit a huge barrier now that we know how she relates to everything. Her father being in prison since she was 13 means he's probably spent a minimum of 10 years as a prisoner. This certainly isn't the film version of the "meet cute" and Victor is not exactly showing a good side of himself here. As for Fruszina, in order to have all of these accomplishments I would guess she is at least in her mid to late 20s. I have a sense of her being younger than Amara....and yes, please give us an update on her and the baby! I like little clues as to how old Victor is and I have always placed him, Reed and Ben be 40ish. This also means Doom is probably entering his 2nd decade of being in power in Latveria, minus those times when Kristoff ruled instead
