Doctor Doom Appreciation

[Iron Maiden]

Abe. Teasing us with his earlier time zone release of Wednesday's comics. ;p


The 99 cent Comixology sale has Waid's Avengers with Doom joining. Does Waid treat Doom right? Or is it Doom trashing like in his FF run?

Since Waid had a co-writer on this, he probably passed on doing the Doom scenes. He never liked Doom having a touch of nobility.

MTIO

Zdarsky is Marvel exclusive and annuals for his books have been announced.

[Iron Maiden]

Wow.... thanks for posting that cover and Zdarsky signed it as the artist. I didn't know he that he also can draw. I have a suspicion that it looks like Infamous Iron Man will be working with Johnny and Ben until Reed and Sue come back.


I enjoyed this month's issue of MTIO. spoilers:

But damn, Victor needs to go on a diet or something if he ate the entire universe faster than Galactus ever did.

end of spoilers The cover for issue #6 indicates we will see Infamous Doom show up at some point. I wonder if Galactus/Doom starts to look at invading the MU to continue his feasting. It will be interesting to see a Infamous Iron Man/Galactus Doom confrontation.

Just bumping up the thread to say that I should probably spend my time here commenting that interesting issue and that nice cover rather than losing my time elsewhere on silly threads....

[Iron Maiden]

This is true. In the meantime, I missed this cool Doom cover from the May solicitations with a Kris Anka cover. The classic armors suggests either time travel or a Doombot. There's been some strays showing up sometimes.

I know what you mean. ;p

And people wonder why Appreciation Threads, also known as Troll Free Zones, are so popular.

These covers are great! Very curious to see Reed's hands restraining Doom.

There is a Doctor Doom sale on comixology

[Winter_fury]

And it works the buy one get one free sale if you add marvel18 code to the cart so you can get both volumes of infamous ironman for $3.99

[Kintor]

Thanks for the link Winter_fury. This sale was the excuse I needed to pick-up some of those less impressive Doom stories to complete my collection on ComiXology. So I ended up grabbing The Private War of Doctor Doom, Ultimate Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom & the Masters of Evil.

Overall ComiXology has a really great collection of Doom books. The only noticeable absence at this point is Doom 2099, which is a shame since that run in the original 2099 universe is my favour iteration of Doom ever. Good thing I still have all my physical Doom 2099 issues!

[Winter_fury]

No problem i really wanted to partake in this sale but i spend my budget on the 0.99 sale.

[Iron Maiden]

Wow.... thanks for the alert. I will be checking this out!

[PaxHouse]

This is true. In the meantime, I missed this cool Doom cover from the May solicitations with a Kris Anka cover. The classic armors suggests either time travel or a Doombot. There's been some strays showing up sometimes.

Well....it wouldn't be the first time that the runaways dealt aginst a Doombot...!!!

[Abe]

I'll finally comment that cover... quoting the solicits that answer my question ( so many Reeds...)

No spoiler tag... ok?

I was a bit confused by the MTIO annual since I thought all of the members of the Council of Reeds were dead except for the two who were forced into becoming the new Supreme Intelligence. I guess you can't keep a good idea down. And we did see Fraction revive a version of the Parliament of Doom in his Fantastic Four.

On the subject of Reeds, I think Bendis really missed the boat in not having the real Maker in Infamous Iron Man. I would rather have seen him as Doom's opponent instead of Mephisto.
