This book continues it’s hot streak with an excellent issue that really ramps up the Omega Drive mega-arc, and also brings back my favourite element of Waid’s run, the idea that the new positive Matt is actually way darker than he’s ever been. What is it that Foggy found in that drawer? A gun? What? Or was it evidence that Matt was actually a Klaw-Hologram? I loved that twist at the end, it was a double-twist really, first you got the reveal that Black Spectre were actually the Avengers and you think… genius, and then… blam! Matt’s not actually there and he’s in Latveria. I wonder how long this has been going on, since #3? If so, that’s crazy, I can’t wait to see how Waid explains this next time out. I also have to praise Koi Pham once again, I used to dislike his art, but on this issue and #10.1, he’s really upped his game, this has been his best work since the first arc of Incredible Hercules. Another great issue of DD, I’m loving this run, it seems so simple at first, but there’s so many depths to it.
