So we’re just eating Warlocks now? We wondered in this week’s Age of Revelation roundup where Doug Ramsey’s selfsoulfriend is, and he (or a version of him or another Technarch being; who’s to say, really?) appears to show up in this comic, where he is unceremoniously killed by Hellcat and then shown being eaten by…
