Savage Avengers, Vol. 2: To Dine with Doom by Gerry Duggan
3.0
These are the kind of kooky team-ups Marvel used to do all the time with Marvel Team-Up (Spidey & guest star) and Two-in-One (The Thing & guest star), but with a LOT more blood and gore. Basically Dark Age team-up, but now it’s Conan the Barbarian & guest stars. Conan and Punisher, Conan and Dr. Doom, Conan and Dr. Strange.
I’m all about the Savage Land, which was the focus of the first book, but here they exit pretty quickly, traveling through South America then New York then Latveria then Hell then weirder places. The stuff between Doom and Conan is fun, as they have a meal together then do the buddy cop thing. I like how Duggan is subverting expectations here, giving all the violent bloodletting some nuance. But not a lot. This is “savage” after all.
