It's funny, but I somehow get the impression that Doom is trolling someone, I'm just not sure who yet. I think it might the difference in characterisation between Prime!Doom and the other Dooms.
I did like the nod to Cassie, but since Nate doesn't seem to object too much to working with Doom, I'm going with 'Ravona is actually Cassie' until proven otherwise. (The Watcher not answering Scott about Cassie's death being for the greater good is totally because Cassie's not dead. TOTALLY.)
Doom's minions made me laugh, because they look like they're thinking 'not this shit again'. It must be a really weird job, working for Dctor Doom. I liked the interaction between Scott and the Watcher and Bentley making like a supervillian. My absolute favourite bit the page of Medusa and Ahura, though. It was just so heartbreakingly brilliant an the art was beautiful.
Ooh, never thought of the idea of Cassie being Ravonna, but I like it! She does call Kang, "My Nate," and the other Dooms refer to her as being just a girl, so maybe you're really onto something there.
With Doom, I can't tell if it's just erratic writing or if the way he seems to swing from delusional Silver Age ranting to his sharper, more perceptive self is a sign that he's up to something.
And yeah, that moment with Medusa and Ahura was great. After last issue, I was a bit worried that Lee Allred's writing was going to be all wacky humour at the expense of the characterisation, but there were some great character moments in this one.
i'm going to hang onto that theory until a better one comes along. And i will forgive everything bad about Fraction's FF is it brings Cassie back from being fridged.
When in doubt, Doom is always up to something, even if it's just clearing the castle so he can marathon Star Trek in peace. (I still can't quite believe that Doom being a Trek fan is canon, by the way.)
I wonder if Allred's writing last issue might have been due to time constraints. How long did he have to write the script?
It does seem to have been a pretty hasty decision to replace Matt Fraction, so perhaps that first issue after he left was a bit of a scramble. No idea how much advance warning anybody involved got, but the October solicits still had Fraction listed as the sole writer for issue #13 of both books.
