"Somewhere."

One thing you can always count on with Marvel, is them overextending the hell out of any character that achieves a smidgen of hotness. And Ghost Rider didn't just get secondary titles, he got that whole Midnight Sons line. Darkhold was not a breakout book there, nor was Nightstalkers, and Morbius lasted almost three years. So Morbius had seen the Darkhold pages deal before, but so had Kurt, in X-Men Annual #6

I honestly couldn't recall if I'd ever seen Doctor Doom go for the Darkhold: seems like it would be up his alley, except Doom doesn't have any interest in losing his soul or being bound to Chthon. Although, I did see a recent issue where Doom saw several of the big Marvel universe power objects all gathered up, like the Darkhold, the Infinity Gems, and the Ultimate Nullifer, among others. Doom grabs one, but maybe not the one you'd think! Also, next week, another guest-star, another recent Marvel Legend, but not that character's first, either. 

 I probably miss Jolt Cola more than hypercolor shirts...

That is a good point, cursed or not, Doom would probably have possession of the Darkhold or at least know where it was...as he would, especially if he could use it to save his mom's soul, if that's still a thing or not.

Ok, things are getting serious here. Magic and aliens are rarely a pleasant combination. Hoping this gets resolved like the last major magic-related crisis, or that the Darkhold thing is a false lead.
