Fans of Marvel's Doctor Doom

CBR has Marvel's solicts for October. Two possible Doom appearances for the month:

( Details )

But the big news is that nine of Marvel's titles are ending in October in preparation for the Marvel NOW! relaunch in November. Both Fantastic Four and FF are on that list, and while the F4 will undoubtedly be getting a new #1 in some form, I'm slightly nervous that we're going to see the Future Foundation characters dropped.

I just hope the Richards kids don't go back to being ignored after Jonathan Hickman's gone. We need more of Valeria and her Uncle Doom.

CBR has the lettered preview for Incredible Hulk #7. Looks like that's probably going to be pretty much the full extent of Doom's cameo, but who knows.

November Comics

Victor Von Doom #1 has apparently been delayed, so it's now coming out on the 23rd of November. ...Which is the same date as both Avengers: Children's Crusade #8 and Fantastic Four #600. That's going to be an epic week.

December Covers

CBR has a pair of connecting variant covers for Fantastic Four #601 and FF #13, which feature Doom charging into battle alongside all the book's other heroes.
