Larry Hama’s run ends with a party to christen the rebuilt Avengers mansion, with guest stars galore. I recognize George Bush, Prince Charles and Princess Di, and a joke-teller that looks suspiciously like Stan Lee. Also Nick Fury, Wolverine, Sandman, Dr. Strange, the Fantastic Four, and some other non-Avenger guests.
Yeah, it’s definitely Stan. And Reagan’s there too.
And there’s a party-crasher…
Then, it’s everybody against Dr. Doom for the rest of this story.
Rage throws a cupcake in Doom’s face.
It’s not very good. And he turns out to be a Doombot anyway. The real Doom doesn’t let himself get hit with a cupcake.
The whole thing was about Doom trying to steal some tech from Avengers Mansion that he thought might help him save his mother from Mephisto’s hell dimension.
If I was ending my run on a title I’d probably want to throw a big party and write a bunch of characters I didn’t get to write yet. I just wish it were a little better.
