Issue- 9

Writer- Terry Austin

Art- Mike Vosburg

Summary:

Doom contacts the new Jester and orders him to recruit a band of super-villains to attack the Avengers. The Jester approaches Cloak and Dagger on the notion that they are villains and because they have never battled the Avengers before.

Notes:

• Cameo only

• Jester's flashback showing his meeting with Doom takes place immediately before Power Pack #53

• Doom supplies the Jester with the remains of the Cosmic Powered Hulk robot last seen in Hulk #350.

• Collected in Acts of Vengeace Omnibus
  

Comments:

Just a one page cameo which also happens to lead into Doom's appearance in Power Pack #53. Of note is the return of the cosmic Hulk-bot which Doom resurrected in Hulk #350. The issue itself is really good. A moment where the super villain, Rock, thinks that Thor's blow has cured him of his condition is particularly poignant. I highly recommend the issue as a great read if you're looking for a great comic, however if you're just shopping for Doom appearances, Bottom Line: Skip It!
