    I obviously like Empire

    But there are so many great pics of Doom to pic from.

    True but I'm going to give Infamous Iron Doom a shot. Hey, at least I'll get a monthly out of it. It's been a while since he's had one, unless you count Hickman's Secret Wars

    Jim Lee had a pretty memorable version of Doom also along with Gabrielle Del'Otto. But will be keeping many in mind in case a contest theme comes up that fits.

    C'mon give it a go, the winner is often a surprise, and it's about the fun of seeing all the covers.

    Yeah, it was Marvel's first big event. And Zeck is a great artist. I love his work on SW, Captain America and Punisher.

    Yeah, I am sort of getting used to it this way. I should start a countdown guessing game as to how long it will be until the classic Doom armor makes a reappearance. They could cheat and have Kristoff Vernard start wearing it again.
    Have you seen this video of Kirby drawing circa 1983 on youtube (the Kirby Museum channel)-his subject matter-Doom removing his mask to reveal his scarred face (as Kirby intended it)...

    Yes MRP I sure have. I added to the Doom appreciation thread a while back. It's fascinating to watch him draw as he talks a bit about the character. Kirby did come up with the idea long after he left the Fantastic Four and there are some panels that contradict that idea, most notably when Doom visits the Marvel Bullpen in FF #10 and both Stan and Jack are horrified when Doom takes off his mask.

    But I do like Kirby's take on it in later years.

    That time Lobo had to defeat the evil which was Santa Claus. That is rather epic.

    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    Man! Talk about so many great covers! Well, I'm going with Shawn Hopkins and that epic George Perez JLA/Avengers cover!
