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!”
Amazing Spider-Man 350 Aug, 1991 “Doom Service!” Remarkable appearance for Doom’s ultimate restraint, and also for quite thoroughly kicking Peter’s butt. ****

Doom 2099 1 – 40 January 1993 Sometimes brilliant, ended too soon. Issues after #40 are best left unread. ******

Heroes Reborn: DOOM one shot, January 2000 “Doom!” ******
Heroes Reborn: Ashema one shot, January 2000 “Ashema” ****
Heroes Reborn: Doomsday one shot, January 2000 “A World Untamed” ******

DOOM 1 – 3 (Limited Series); October 2000 *** (starts out strong) Remarkable also for the nekkid Doom vs the male African lion in to the death combat!

Doom: The Emperor Returns 1 – 3 (Limited Series); January 2002 ** (ends poorly)

Books of Doom 1 – 6 (Limited Series); November 2005. An expanded re-telling of the rise of Victor Von Doom, and the conquest of Latveria. Great new insights, fabulous art, very well done and highly recommended. *******

Stan Lee Meets Doctor Doom – one shot December 2006. *** Amusing and ties in to continuity in interesting ways.

Iron Man: Legacy of Doom 1 – 4 (Limited Series) April 2008; Iron Man and Doctor Doom tangle again over fragments of Excalibur, magic and science do battle. ****

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. ****

*** Non-Doomscribe addition(s) *****

From CJStriker: Darth Vader vs Doctor Doom


“Doom is a very tragic figure. Doom has got a lot of class; I like Doom. He’s got a lot of cool. But Doom has one fallacy; he thinks he’s ugly.” --JackKirby

What else should we put on the first page, fellow Doom fans?

[Frontier]

Happy New Year to Dr. Doom and all who follow him .

[Iron Maiden]

I'm confused now.... Did something happen to the new thread?

[Kintor]

New year, new Doom thread. I guess this is CBR's new policy to avoid overloading the forums.

[CJStriker]

I'm confused now.... Did something happen to the new thread?

I think it is the New CBR Policy, what happen is that a few months ago CBR was running beyond slowly and they figured one reason was that the very Big thread where slowing us down, so they made a new policy of every year closing the big threads so that no thread becomes to big anymore to slow down CBR again, at least that is how I am understanding it.

2019 is Another Year for Doom and another chance to Revist why he rules so much!

I think what should be put on the 1st page is show off just Why Do is so Supreme Over Many and the Video Below always reminds me just how BOSS Doom Really is!

Great idea! I might have to do just links, though, as I don't think CBR will allow me to put alot of videos on one post. But hey, your post made it to the first page, so that works out.

[Shadowcat]

Which Doom is your definitive Doom? Art? Writer? Storyline?

[CJStriker]

Glad I was able to make the 1st page and put up a Major Fan Created moment that IMO showcases just how BOSS Do really is and can be Reviresco!

I always felt that video should be example 1 for anyone to use against those that doubts Doom's True level of power and intelligent!

I like it when Artist showcase this as well, like in Marvel's Recent Marvel Two-In-One series from 2018 In Issue #1, just showing an electric aura around one is always cool, but Doom does it with his own Themed Color of Green, that is Bad-A$$ IMO!

[DoomScribe]

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!

I wish I did have an answer to whether or not Amara will appear anytime soon. Nothing mentioned at all since Iron Man #600. And Kristoff is still MIA since before Secret Wars began as far as I know. I'd love to see both come back.....and Boris!

Kristoff definitely needs to return. He is a favorite of mine who I feel has a ton of potential.

[ImperiusWrecked]

Thanks for that rec list! I'm currently about to start reading triumph and torment and really want to read more Doom this year since he is one of my favorite characters!
