Doctor Doom Appreciation - 2021

[Doom'nGloom]

What's Doom's eye color canonically? I've seen him drawn with blue, green, and brown eyes. It's like artists can't make up their mind on it.

[Iron Maiden]

IMO it should be brown since he is a Romani, although I like the green eyes too. My head canon is that sometimes he wears green colored contacts just for effect.

It does annoy me when they are colored blue and it does happen quite a lot over the years. I once tweeted the artist of this series Cian Tormey that Doom eyes should have been brown in his War Scrolls story he did and he did say he would keep that in mind!

[DoomScribe]

Brown eyes - three sources. Colorists, take note. There have been many mistakes. So are those the real Doom when they appear with blue or green eyes?

omg thank you, I always thought his eyes were brown but it's great to have a source, but so many artists/colorists make it blue and that annoys me. Also I thought there was some theory where any light eyed doom was an obvious doombot?

Speaking of ... this just arrived to add to the Den of Madness. It is #24 of 1000, and very well made, sadly though, wrong color eyes.

You would have to have photo editing software or maybe find a free tool on the internet. you could try Adobe Spark for instance

That bust is well done. But the eye color being wrong does detract from it a bit. Maybe you could touch them up yourself with some model paint !

Almost forgot.....Doom is in this month's Excalibur #23 coming out on Wednesday. Here are some preview pages. I not too crazy about this baby snatching the writer Tini Howard is setting up here.

[ImperiusWrecked]

Ah yes the Krakoa that has like a whole section devoted to those abandoned mutant babies (Way of X) should be upset with Doom of course, of course *rolls eyes*

If you are looking for a free editing tool for you computer to do simple rotations and stuff I would suggest Photoscape, I've used it for years for simple stuff and its way faster than having to boot up photoshop etc. http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/screenshot.php

Seems bad get a Roma character being acussed of stealing a kid.

Many people hacked these gates, I don't get why Doom isn't doing it. Valeria knows

Yeah, seriously. Even if the writer was ignorant of that her editor should have had her correct that.

Yeah, Doom should have been able to do it. He can mystically transport himself too.

Doomscribe....how did we miss the announcement on this one??? This is really strange. I happen to stumble across it while looking for something else and I know I have not seen this before

This is from the Walmart website. Notice that there are 2 comments on this item page and they both have already ordered it back in July and August. I did a search on the Diamond catalog site and this hasn't come up for me at all. I like that it is not made of any breakable material and a 9 inch figure is a good height & would fit on my shelves.

It's also being advertised on a site called Zavvi , which I've never heard of before. You can pre-order it there for $34.99 if you use the code provided. It states the release date is December 30 2021. I noticed while looking for this on Diamond's site that they are producing a lot of these this year.

I'm getting a kick out the dinosaur bones on the base. It reminds me of the time in Doom 2099 when Doom was being attacked by a T Rex. Pat Broderick really killed it with his work on drawing the T Rex

It's SO frustrating that Doom 2099 is so incomplete on Marvel Unlimited, the issues that are available are scattered, and #1 isn't even available. How can Marvel get readers interested in him if his debut issue isn't online?

I know what you mean. Marvel Unlimited can be frustrating at times. At least they did make a TPB of the Warren Ellis issues but IMO the set up done by John Francis Moore in #1 thru 24 is great. I have the TPB but they really need to make the set complete but publishing another TPB of the first 23 issues.

This was fun issue where Doom and wire are exploring cyberspace and encounter a weird version of the Fantastic Four and classic Doom

[DoomScribe]

Thanks for the heads up on the Doom figure, IM. However, I'm not going to order it from Zavvi -

From a quick Google Search:

"Zavvi has a consumer rating of 1.1 stars from 170 reviews indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Consumers complaining about Zavvi most frequently mention customer service, live chat and release date problems. Zavvi ranks 103rd among DVD sites."

The Walmart site lists the figure as a Walmart exclusive and "sold out". Which explains why I've never seen it. But a search of Diamond Select Toys doesn't show the figure, it doesn't appear on any other retailer site that I usually buy from either. I'm not saying it's a scam, but I'm suspicious. Mostly because I've had my credit card numbers stolen a couple times after ordering from less than super web sites.

It is really a cool looking figure, and I'd love to have it. But I'll wait to see if it shows up on some other sites for now.
