Just So You Know, Marvel Rules at Recap Pages Sometimes
April 2nd, 2009 by Gavok | Tags: d-man, doctor doom, Marvel comicsI mean, there’s Incredible Hercules and Agents of Atlas and all, but I hold a place in my heart for this recap page for Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil #3.
Indeed.
It really is a fun miniseries and it’s kind of a bummer that it’s only four issues rather than six. Also fun? Marvel Assistant-Sized Spectacular #1. Not only do we get a story about D-Man as the Captain America of the Iraq War and Jason Aaron writing American Eagle, but a lengthy Mini-Marvels story starring Hawkeye. I love those.
Oh, thank you for that. I laughed out loud repeatedly, hearing Isaac Hayes in my head, trying to stifle myself as my girlfriend watches YouTube clips about the dire state of the U.S. economy. (I love her anyway.) I must buy this. It’s 10:35 pm, and if I knew of an open comic shop, I’d go buy this right now.
I’ve had a LOT of wine tonight. But I am pretty sure that isn’t relevant.

Another favorite set of Marvel recap pages are the ones for the Dr. Strange: the Oath, which actually found their way into the story itself.

by LurkerWithout April 3rd, 2009 at 03:36 --replyYeah, but which story did Wyatt Cenac write?
by Stig April 3rd, 2009 at 03:44 --replyThe recaps from Deadpool and Cable were always entertaining, wether it was Deadpool’s late-night talk show or him storming through the Marvel offices trying to find who was responsible for Civil War continuity.
by RockCityWarrior April 3rd, 2009 at 08:45 --replyI loved the Cable & Deadpool recaps as well – particularly in the last arc, where it took the form of Bob, Agent of HYDRA’s blog.
