Reviews for Lady Doom: Sequel to Minion

    I know, choose as you want and all that- comic fluidity, but I've really been liking the story and I was just jarred out of my comfortable "hell yeah!" into "Uh... what the hell?!?"...

    Honestly I've never held with the "everyone is a mutant" thing. It sort've cooled my jets here and made me highly uncomfortable. Besides, lots of people got variant forms of the Super-Soldier Serum- it wasn't just Steve. Ubermensch (Master Man), Krieger Frau (Warrior Woman), Unterwassermensch (U-Man/Meranno)-- those three come to immediate mind, Diamondback later as well. Also it's been shown that the Serum works on anyone-- Steve's blood (and the blood of those who've been exposed to the Serum) works exactly like it. So much so they have to be extremely careful where his blood and tissue samples go. I remember they had a big stink in SHIELD about someone breaking in and stealing some of his blood-- terrified they were going to make tons of supersoldiers.

    Also, the thing about the Red Skull isn't entirely correct. He is an old Nazi, but he does have black operatives (and operatives of other ethnicities). Crucible -a mutant who spies on Magneto to report back to the Skull- is one of them and a member of the Skeleton Crew on and off. The Skull is more about sowing hatred and discord between everyone on the planet so he can take over. That's his schtick, his "New Order". He even mocks Hitler for focusing on a single group on multiple occasions. It has nothing to do with being white and everything to do with being the Skull. Johann's an asshole, sure, but if you want a raving white-supremacist you have to go knock on Hatemonger's door.

    Can you tell I read a lot of Captain America? Also I'm a big fan of the Skull's little seen wife (There are arguments for and against this and -since we never see the wedding- nobody can say for sure. Personally I believe they are married.), Mother Night (yes, like the Vonnegut book of the same title). She's a very complex character who loves her husband dearly even though he might actually be the most evil man on the planet. Actually, knowing her, because he is. They killed her off just a few issues ago in the new comics. *sigh* Poor Momma.

    Cool new installment. Heh, if this was the real Kristoff I might feel sorry for him, but as it isn't I give a hearty "GO JOVI, GO!" To that, I also must add that I'm curious about how the Alter-Valeria will act to this "touchy" subject she's stumbled across. Can't wait for the next chapter!

    Call me what you want, I'm not picky as far as names. If Biscuithead is easier to remember/type, so be it. I thought Jovi's foiling of anti-Kristoff was hilarious. How many ways are there to call someone mucus are there? lmao -- I'm also anxious to hear how you include Wanda in all this. I've always hated what they did to her and the Vision. (I am a big fan of the Vision/Scarlet Witch books previous to the... horrible incidents and I like the relationship.) There was no reason to make him a "non-man" or set the ball in motion to take their children. I also think it's hilarious that all this stuff in House of M basically comes down to the fact that John Byrne stole the Vision's dick. I mean, people say it all comes down to sex in the end, but in this case it's true. Back on topic, I dread the introduction of Jovi's mom, even as much as I want to see how that all goes down--- I just hope Mrs. Florescu is made of stern stuff because I like her and I'd like to see her make it to the end of the story all in one piece.

    Dry history stuff: Yes indeed, Tezcatlipoca is Aztec. He was actually the chief God of the Toltecs previous to being absorbed into the Aztec culture. He's got quite an amazing amount of stories written about him. In popular culture today he's usually cast in a villainous light, despite his more nurturant and benign aspects, because of opposition of Queztalcoatl. Modern folk generally like to make QC there cuddly, despite the fact that he has some bad stuff to his name too. He killed his twin, Xolotl, for one (he got better, but still...). Together Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca were called the "Waters of Life" and represented as two river snakes on many types of livery. QC was "Flowering Water"-- logic. TCP there was called "Burning Water"--- passion. At the time it was believed that the King, though granted his kingship by Huitzlipoctli, needed the blessings of both Gods and their specific gifts to effectively rule his people.

    I particularly love the tale of Hades and Persephone among all the "classical" myths. Your use of it is very sensual and not ham-handed, which I do appreciate. With your inclusion of the Persephone reference I think we can be assured of a growing theme. It is often Persephone in the myths who becomes the mercy that tempers her brooding husband's wrath or apathy. The themes in the myth are something universal, even if the specific incidents are not. For example, in the Americas it is Tezcatlipoca (burning mirror, the Lord of the night and all things in it, Master of magic ) who woos and weds Xilonen (sprouting corn, a child Goddess who is associated with new crops) who then is called Xochiquetzal (feathery flower) and becomes the magnificent Goddess of love. She is said to curb her husband's dislike of mankind and prompted the institution of the 'confession'-- where people, instead of keeping their wickedness and evil inside where it would fester and make Tezcatlipoca seek to destroy them, would come before him and admit all the wrongs they had done to others and any hatred they bore in their hearts. He would exact payment in blood, usually by whipping or pricking with agave thorns (done by the devout themselves). It was to remind the person not to do such evil again and to pay him for his time, but the newly cleansed person would be spared the things of the dark that Tezcatlipoca sets upon those who anger him by cowardly hiding their evil. --- somehow I can definitely see Doom doing something along those lines. Anyway, now that I have rambled on, I'll just say I can't wait to see how all this develops and I'm glad you aren't upset.

    Oh, my dear. You are sadly mistaken converning the lack of male attention. I have been a devoted follower since chapter 3 of Minion. My Y just hasn't been eloquent enough to add anything to what is being contributed by others. Your's is the first story I check in on when I log on. Phooey on Marvel - yours is better.

    Interesting new chapter-- I think the jolts from Jovi are nice. She's starting to see Victor as "her Victor" more and thinks less of him in terms of Doom (a natural hormonal reaction if nothing else- though the presence of mind remains around him as Dr. Doom and she knows what he's fully capable of, she is his mate and the connections --both chemical and associative-- in her mind would alter due to it)-- the realization that little Victor could intimidate people just as easily as big Victor was played out nicely. It's a little icewater for a thinking woman, not a cold realization for a girl caught in things beyond her depth. As a reader I appreciate well-thought out icewater for sharp women-- especially used in places where another writer would just plop down into stereotypical romantic slush. Jovi knows what she's doing and I welcome the coming storm after this rosy lull. Lulls are nice, but Jovi is made of steel not moonbeams. She is a woman of action. I will continue to read avidly. Excelsior! (BTW: I really hate to burst your bubble, but I am not male. The reference is actually to the Spindoctors and Frank Zappa.)

    Well... I've got to give it to you. This has been a good read throughout the whole thing (including the first story). Normally I just sort of breeze around here to see what's going on and not much more- but your story is worth following. Being a merry marvelite for a long time (though, sadly, not much anymore. I buy reprints of the old stuff -mostly), I can appreciate a lot of the extra touches you add here and there. Very nice. Please continue on and I too want to know what 'Lady Doom' said to Victor in Hell... but you just keep teasing us with the info, dangit.
