WHAT WE LEARNED THIS ISSUE:
DOOM DOES NOT DO THINGS PRECIPITOUSLY - HE WAITS UNTIL IT STOPS RAINING TO DO THEM
ARCADE VERY PROBABLY ABUSES RECREATIONAL DRUGS
ADD "YABBO" TO THE LIST OF RETARDED IRISH INSULTS BANSHEE USES
DOOM LETS ARCADE DISRESPECTFULLY LIGHT A MATCH ON HIS ARMOUR. VERY UN-DOOM-LIKE, DUDE
MURDERWORLD IS A BIG CROCK OF SHIT AND ARCADE IS A GIANT PUSSY
pointless recap: Half the X-men are still stuck in doom's castle and the other half go to murderworld to investigate. That half OBVIOUSLY falls into a booby trapped door, and then have to fight their way out of Murderworld AND SUCCESSFULLY DO SO WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT.On the Doom side of things, only Nightcrawler escapes his puzzle/jail although we dont know how yet as it ends in a cliffhanger but I'm going to bet he teleported out because, it's you know, HIS GOD DAMN SUPER POWER.
This issue was rad back in middle school because it's all about the X-Men in contrived situations having to use their powers and if you are unfamiliar with the characters it's a great way to get to know their abilities, but looking back, it's excruciatingly lame. And the art is still Cockrum instead of Byrne, so that's another a downgrade.
Next issue, this Doom/Arcade (has their ever bee a more natural pairing of villains before? Why yes, just about every other time, I'd wager), 3 issue arc wraps up, and not a moment too soon. Also Cyclops is still having Robinson Carusoe time with his ship wrecked Bufu Buddy Lee Forrester. And Storm is about to go fucking nuts because Doom encased her in solid chrome or something. Will she flip out like Jean Grey did just a few issue ago? Well, those issue made Marvel a lot of money, so yeah, probably.
