HARROWING OF DOOM
(W) David Annandale
Notorious villain Doctor Victor von Doom has finally found a solution for his oldest obsession: rescuing his mother's soul from the clutches of Hell. An alliance with the reclusive sage, Maria von Helm, has provided the key to Doom's latest invention. Fusing their super-science and sorcery, Doom has created the Harrower, a device that will open a rift and wrench his mother's soul from the netherworld. Back in the human world, however, rebel forces threaten to overrun Latveria and topple its dark leader - and revolution couldn't come at a more dangerous time than when the gates of Hell itself have been unlocked.
