Kind of ironic pairing given both charachter's status...

Looks good, and yeah it is kinda funny that they would choose those two - I wonder who we'll get on the other cover with Megs?

Post by **Best First** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 10:52 am

i'd guess a certain medical practicioner.

One who shares his name with a popular first-person shoot-'em-up?

Drape a green cape over Megs and they'd be identical twins...

I should point out that (similar to orc-faced TV witch Gillian McKeith) he's not a real doctor. According to his Wikipedia entry he was expelled from the Empire State University before completing his phD and only began calling himself "Dr" after that.

yeah, cheung has come on leaps and bounds since he turned up on x-force/maverick all those years ago (and i liked him then anyway)

He was on bloody x-force??

Hard to believe...

Anyways, the covers alone might be worth it, I suppose.

Maybe Latveria hands out piss-cheap doctorates on the sly?

Don't forget he probably sets the goals and learning-plan for all types of schools in Latveria all by his lonesome... ( he litterally seems to have everything in the country planned out, designed and researched himself)

I guess he fills the necessary knowledge-shoes for being a Dr in his own learning-plan...

Mmm, Greg Capullo, Tony Daniel, Adam Pollina & Mike Allred - all rubbish, eh?

Unfortunately, scripts weren't always that good. I liked Moore's run very much though.

I'm skeptical on this crossover, but it looks okay by art means. I really don't see why the Autobots would team up with the Avengers unless the cons were working with an enemy of theirs. Possible plot element? Time will tell.

That pic is very, very cool.

I'm still sure this book is a bad idea though, and I'm uncomfortable to think this is gonna be in the same continuity as Escalation et al......
