So...humans built a black hole generator on the moon. Where a Krakoa outpost is located.
Coincidence?

Okay, folks, a number of deletions, so let's dial it down a notch.
Discuss the subject, not each other.
Lay off the personal insults.
I have decided to buy this. It seems silly considering what an FF fanboy I am, but I'm really trying to keep a trimmer line. However, the loss of Squirrel Girl (Doreen cancels, Victor starts? coincidence?) and Future Foundation, there is a hole in my Marvel buy list.
If IM likes it, I'm in.
Hmmm… how is the Antlion Control Center at the dark side of the Moon (as captioned moments before the attack) when the Earth is visible? And how is conventional radio communication possible?

Thanks! I hope you post your thoughts when you get a chance to read it. It's not flawless but I like where this is going. As for Squirrel Girl, I have followed it a bit and the writing is clever. Haven't read this month's issue yet. They did keep that version of Doom in his own little bubble. IIRC he was from the past, just after he first encountered SG.
Not sure if it helps, but I really like it too, Captain!

Wow I hadn't noticed that.
And Tony Stark is one of the bosses in that project, that would lead to interesting frictions.
Then I would give double point to Dooms complaint they are not just doing a tikebomb dangerous close to the earth, but basically next to Krakoa, like, really?

I had this in my box and just now read it. So it seems like this might be setting up another possible Doom redemption? The way Vic was sorta enjoying a moderately peaceful time then being framed for killing 3,000 people after criticizing the moon project seems like it's heading towards that sorta direction.
Bleeding Cool is reporting that Doctor Doom #1 has sold out and will get a second printing on November 20th
Promising news so far, we'll just have to see how this is reflected in the hard numbers come November. I expect there will be some readership attrition going forward, there's always a drop in sales after a new #1. Yet if this book starts high then there’ll be a comfortable buffer in place to absorb that attrition.
Yes, there is always that bump in sales for a number one. I kept a spreadsheet of Infamous Iron Man sales to make a point in a thread once and at some point I'm going to compare it with this title. Infamous did get a decent promo. I remember there was quite a nice article in the Marvel Now supplement that I got at my LCS. They interviewed Bendis and Alex Maleev and had advance sketches of the new armor.
Sales for Infamous began with #1 at est 73,735 and an overall rank for the month at 23. Eventually it leveled off at the 25,000 level per month and stayed in the top 100. I think it will be tough going this month for overall ranking. Hickman's stuff will be up there, along with that special edition of Spawn and whatever Batman stuff is out there. Considering Doom #1 was a $4.99 at least that shows people weren't too put off by the price.

I read it. There appears to be an attempt to balance good qualities and not-so-good qualities in Doom. He respects some others but won't put up with any crap or anything approaching disrespect. He has strong examples of pettiness which went a bit too far for me, but that seems to be an aspect of Doom Marvel wants to portray.
As to the main plot, it's about freaking time some of Marvel's mega-science dudes tried to fix problems. I wonder if Doom really thinks the system on the Moon won't work or if he's just playing anti-Reed (and Tony). Doom's being framed and that in itself is a good way to go. Putting Vic in a position where he has to react eliminates a lot of the morality problems a villain book. Doom's actions were surprising, but in looking at them, I think that's probably his best bet of absolving himself of this situation.
Doom's certainly handled better than he was in Slott's story. Although I wish he had been a bit more subtle in his handling of Steve. That was my biggest problem with the issue. I'm on board for the arc anyway. Good start.
