Midlife crisis...yes! now that would be fun. I imagine in my head canon that when Doom goes up against a younger opponent that he's thinking "I'm getting too old for this nonsense". In fact, that's probably how he feels now with Fruszina being less than enamored with him. Now next issue should be interesting if it involves Doom arguing with Reed about the black hole....even better if Adam is there too.
Here's a link to an interview with Christopher Cantwell, where he talks about his comic book projects
He has a great line in that interview " To me, Doom is both Dr. Frankenstein and the Monster. He is able to love, but he feels he is unable to be loved." That last part has been my takeaway from Triumph and Torment. He has this great love for him mother but he deliberately did something to make her hate him. Could there have been another way to achieve her redemption. Maybe...but this was his plan and he carried it on knowing that.
Are you reading X-men vs Fantastic Four? Funny how the billing order on the title has switched since the first mini-series :-P It's pretty interesting so far even if the conflict is a bit contrived, hinging a bit on Reed being secretive and a bit underhanded in his relationship with Franklin. So in two comics this week, Doom gets the last page but that's the extent of Doom's appearance in XMen/FF. The second issue of X-Men/Fantastic Four is shipping twice this month so the next issue comes out on Feb. 19th Let's hope we finally get to see Doom and Valeria reunited in this, especially now that she nearly a teen-ager. Will she have a crush on him like Nadia Van Dyne? I still was disappointed that she wasn't around for Infamous Iron Man.
