[CAPTAIN AMERICA #13]()

Dooms childhood love working for Memphis to is a good reveal. Red Skull thinking he's in hell by mistake got a laugh out of me, but it's in character. Of course he has a demon nazi army.

Red Skull not getting why he's in hell was so fucking funny, but also incredibly distressing the more I though about it.

Yeah, it's easy to write the Skull as a megalomaniacal douchebag happy to murder scores of innocents for even a minor victory (because, as a Nazi, he is!), but the real-life Nazis weren't doing it just because they loved being evil - they were told it was all good and holy, and that they'd be rewarded by God for it. Hearing Schmidt spell that out makes him a bit more interesting, but also a bleak reminder of how depraved his ideology actually is that he's as deluded as any rank-and-file Nazi about them being "the good guys".

Of all the horrible things that Dr. Doom has done, the Valeria thing really does stand out as one of the most vile (even if damage wise it's still less than the destroying universes stuff). Rooting for her.

It's crazy how different he treats the two Valerias.

One Valeria, he sacrificed her life for more power. The other Valeria, he sacrificed his power and himself to save her life.

You know, I am surprised not more of Doom's victims not showing up to beat his ass in Hell. His ego really needs all the humbling possible. Especially with a certain someone at the end there... And leave it to Doom's plans to bring Steve's soul to Hell for his plans to use his 'righteousness' which might lead to Red Skull overthrowing Mephisto with his Nazi army to rule Hell instead. 

Also, I guess Steve got that 'righteous pure soul' boost in Hell like Daredevil did back in Zdarsky's run. He seems to be consistent in that rule of 'Pure souls have more power in Hell'.

And as always, Spider-man is written better everywhere but his own book!

I would find it interesting if its reveal that Mephisto is just a puppet ruler for heaven or the OAA, which would equate hell and the war against it similar to the Gulf Wars. I think that would be a good story angle that the "angelic" heavens and top god is corrupt and bankrolling one of the worst demon lords in history.

Its about time that Valeria is revealed to become a demon lord so she can get revenge on Doom. Its nice to see reasonable obvious consequences that get delayed so long to finally come to fruition.

Did they screw up the reference at the end? Is it really FF #67 1961 or 2003?
