Long live the infamous Doctor Doom thread!

For anyone that needs to know why OMD is awful please search the internet for Linkara' s video's specifically his One more day review or his One more day Analysis.
Looking forward to what's next for Victor when the FF #1 debut....!!!

Thanks for starting this again, guys! I was out most of the day. That looks like Maleev is still doing some Doom stuff even though he's not working on a title with him at the moment. Or it's someone with a very similar style!
I'll contribute with one by Arthur Adams

Triumph and Torment (Graphic Novel) 1989 Roger Stern/Mike Mignola/Mark Badger. Doctor Doom and Doctor Strange battle Mephisto in order to free the soul of Doom’s mother from his infernal realm. Includes a synopsis origin story for each of the good doctors. ********
Amazing Spider-Man 349 July, 1991 “Man Of Steal!”

Doctor Doom & the Masters of Evil 1 – 4 (Limited Series) January 2009 **** A fun mini series aimed at all ages. Great individual moments downgraded by inconsistent art.
Fall of Hulks: Alpha one shot, Feb-10 “Meeting of the Minds” The Intelligentsia gather knowledge from the world, Doom keeps it. Fall of Hulks was difficult to follow unless you got all of the Hulk titles, but this one-shot was a particularly nice showing for Doom. **
Spider-Man & the Secret Wars 1 – 4 (Limited Series) January 2010 Another all-ages title, recaps Secret Wars from Spider-Mans POV, with Dr Doom; again providing a new take on a classic story. ****
*** my addition(s) *****
Secret Wars 1 - 9 May to Dec 2015

Glad to see the new thread up and running. And so, as Castle Doom is often destroyed and rebuilt, we too shall rebuild!
I know it's to help the current issues at the forum and IMO it seems to be helping. But I liked the fact that we created one of the most viewed threads here on the Marvel forum. I would have to say it was at least in the top 10. I'm going to keep the link to the old one in my signature as the thread slowly gets shuffled back in the order of posts. Lots of good stuff there!
And now it's only two days until Fantastic Four relaunches and we will get some idea of what direction Slott will be taking with the Lord of Latveria. If it involves a plan for world conquest I don't think I'm going to be a happy Latverian.
