WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Doctor Doom #8 by Christopher Cantwell, Salvador Larroca, Guru-eFX, and VC's Cory Petit, on sale now.

Right now, Doctor Doom is dealing with the fallout of one of Reed Richards' experiments that, combined with a frame job consisting of a missile strike on the moon, created a spontaneous black hole on the surface of the moon, endangering the entire planet as it expanded rapidly.

Luckily, Blue Marvel was able to tap out his powers and at the very least prevent the black hole from growing any further. Unfortunately, he's now trapped inside the singularity, though at the very least he isn't totally alone. Along with an alternate reality's Doctor Octopus, Blue Marvel is also trapped with a legion of Brood aliens.

Blue Marvel, stranded and without access to his powers, has been working alongside an alternate Earth's Otto Octavius. As they ponder the scientific quandaries presented by their predicament, Blue Marvel also considers the world that this Otto says he comes from. One where Doom is benevolent and beloved and even sent his best scientist into the heart of a black hole to try and stop it. For all of the work the two are putting in and any progress they are making, they aren't earning themselves any extra time and they come to realize that they aren't the only ones toiling away from within the singularity.

The two are set upon by the Brood from nowhere. Blue Marvel and the alternate Doctor Octopus put up the best fight they can, but Otto doesn't make it. Blue Marvel continues to pummel away at the insectoid beasts while he watches his newfound acquaintance be ripped to shreds. Blue Marvel doesn't know how they became trapped within Project Antlion or where they've come from, but he knows that there are too many to count. Without Otto to decipher what little is left of his plans to collapse the wormhole, Blue Marvel is unable to even comprehend what his cohort had come up with. Somehow, through all of the fighting, Blue Marvel survives and can thrust himself into and through the center of the singularity itself and into somewhere unknown. With all the hope he has left, Blue Marvel tries to find the belief that wherever he goes he will be free of what he has come to view as the dystopia he comes from.

It's still unknown where Blue Marvel is going to end up or what he'll find when he gets there, but anything is better than fighting the Brood. One of the oldest interstellar menaces in the Marvel Universe, the Brood are an insectoid species that live only to kill, feed, and conquer. They have most frequently come to blows with the X-Men, even using some of the team's members as hosts. Most recently it was revealed that the Brood, through an act of forced, necrotic evolution, became the parasites responsible for the zombie plague in Marvel Zombies.

For Blue Marvel to even survive is a miracle in its own right. He isn't alone in his actions, though, as the Eternal Ikaris made landed himself in a very similar situation in the Negative Zone at the end of Marvels X.

Maybe it's just a coincidence that both of these cosmic Marvel heroes have found themselves trapped in dimensions composed almost solely of nightmares. With any luck, Blue Marvel won't be the only one of them to find a way out.
