This is a plot synopsis of an issue in the recent Essential Luke Cage that I took from the latest Basement Tapes at CBR.

Quote:

Dr. Doom has stiffed Luke Cage for a $200 bill. I don't even know what Cage did to earn the $200, but he did something. So, anyway, in a rage over being ripped off, Luke Cage storms into the Baxter Building to forcibly borrow a vehicle that'll get him from New York to Latvia quickly, so he can beat the hell out of Dr. Doom and collect. He scraps with the FF briefly and Reed eventually decides Okay, you can borrow the rocket car. Because Reed's down like that.

So Cage goes to Latvia, where he stumbles on to a robot slave revolution against Dr. Doom. These robots are fighting for their freedom from the oppressive and cruel yet ironic regime of Doom. Cage sorta follows the robots to basically get to Doom's castle, where he goes after Doom directly, ignoring all that robot rigamarole. He fights Doom a bit, who is totally impressed that he came all that way to whip 200 dollars out of his ass, and agrees to pay up if Cage helps to snuff out the revolution. WHICH CAGE THEN DOES, so blinded by his desire for 200 dollars that he's completely unaware of whatever symbolic parallels may abound. And abound they do.

Anyway. So, once defeated, Doom is impressed yet again that Cage is so tough, and so single-minded, and he pays up.

This is all ONE FUCKING ISSUE.

Man, they really don't make 'em like that anymore.

I'm already ready to buy the Essential Luke Cage based on the synopsis of that one issue. The man is my favourite Silver Age superhero now.

You'll really like the whole Essential if you liked that synopsis. The whole Essential is pretty much like that.

Chewy, this may be one of the few times you see me 'n' Rex in total accord. GO SEE THOSE MOVIES!

And Say Anything...that's a great flick, too.
