Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon

/ / Comics

One of several unusual one-shot pairings, Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon brings Rocket to Latveria to help Doom with a project involving travelling backwards in time to before the Big Bang. It’s a bit of a screwy concept, but it does play on the idea of Doom respecting Rocket’s technological know-how and needing his help to make his latest invention work. I will say, it’s been a bit since I’ve been interested in anything Doom related (see his run as Iron Man) and this does offer some intrigue. The most obvious solution to the set up, which is really just an excuse to have fun putting these two characters together, would be the failure of the experiment. However, that’s not how the comic ends.

Jenny Sparks #6

/ / Comics

As the war of words continues between Jenny Sparks and Captain Atom, Jenny Sparks #6 continues to explore what it means to be a hero. We get references to not one but two pandemics Jenny lived through, first in 1918 and then in 2020 where her frustration boiled over that not even Superman could help. There’s a really nice moment between the pair in a flashback driving home the point of mask mandates and social distancing that far, far too many Americans missed.
