Doc Savage Vs. Doctor Doom
I have to imagine that Victor Von Doom holds a grudge against Doc Savage, ever since he stormed his castle with The Bondsmen back in STF #3790. How will Savage fare against the malevolent monarch now that he's all on his own?
As for Doc Savage being all on his own? Hardly! Nobody as big on team loyalty as Batman would allow a fellow Bondsman to languish in a Latverian dungeon. Not without having concocted several break-out scenarios already! My one hope is that any eventual sequel sees one such scenario being enacted by Batman and two new Bondsmen: the Spirit and the Rocketeer..
I don' know what you mean by staying at zero. Wonder Woman faced Dr. Doom way back in STF #156: https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2012/07/wonder-woman-vs-doctor-doom.html
He means the number of comments that got successfully published prior to whenever you posted this latest Falcon/Metamorpho team-up. Which was literally zero!
@Anon: well, I stayed up till 2:00 AM trying my luck, to no avail. So, given that Ross posted today's cover @ 5:50 AM, service evidently wasn't restored until somewhere in that three-hour ball park.
Doom does not stand a chance against Doc Savage. This is fitting as Will Murray, the man who continued Doc Savage's adventures in books, has passed on 8/24/26.
Did You Know?_ Among the crime-fighting 'mystery men' whose activities overlapped in time with those of Doc Savage during the 1930s (and in this case were published by the same company as his, Street & Smith) was a vigilante known as 'The Whisperer'... who was secretly Police Commissioner James Gordan!
Sadly, even Moonstone and Dynamite Entertainment never adapted him for their comics. And they've done some pretty good adaptations, in general, of those pulp-fiction characters!
Wow. Excellent job. Great cover.
ReplyDeleteStill glitchy, though.

ReplyDeleteAt least the Bondsmen had fun storming the castle.
ReplyDeleteThat might be why this website was down all day, yesterday. Batman was hacking Doom's database trying to get weak points for the Great Escape!
DeleteIt was down? Not for me.
ReplyDeleteIt refused to publish any of my posts for twelve straight hours (11AM-11PM)!
Deleteyep, on Friday, it stayed at zero.
ReplyDeleteWould Wonder Woman go after Von Doom on her own??

DeleteI was so busy at work I did not notice. Glad it's working correctly now and hopefully it was a one time blogger glitch.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the comments outage was probably Blogger-wide. I don't know, since this is the only thing on Blogger that I still follow.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! :-)

ReplyDeleteRIP, Mr. Murray. :-(

ReplyDeleteOops! "Gordon", with an 'o' rather than an 'a'.

DeleteRichard "The Spider" Wentworth in particular.
DeleteThat's probably because DC would have complained about his secret identity.
