Marvel released today this teaser for a December event. We don’t know much about it so far except that Brian Michael Bendis will be scripting with artists extraordinaire Michael Lark and David Finch will be supplying art in some capicity. This is good news for fans of Doctor Doom and gives me some sort of hope that Dark Reign will start having some cohesion in terms of plot advancement.
Plus – it’s always nice to see Dr. Doom being awesome, talking in the third person and generally being the ultra-villian he was meant to be.
UPDATED: Thanks to this months solicits we can finally shed some light on this teaser cover. Looks like it all has to do with the Dark Siege even that’s taking place in Thor (and one of the reasons why J Michael Straczynski left the title.) Here’s the solicits:
