Origin Story.
Yes, another one, but I think this is in more detail than most, going right from his birth, through the death of his mother, gypsy life, to the oft-chronicled college days - however, the secret US government weapons lab where he created his bots is a new wrinkle, plus the demon challenges to rescue his mother, the Dr Strangesque odyssey, and the leading the army to take back Latveria. All done via video interview style, with a nasty twist.

As a hard core fan of Doctor Doom, my hopes were set very high for this and, much to my pleasant surprise it exceeded them. For some people, it might be too long "six issues dedicated to Dr. Doom's origin?" was a question I heard more than once. But, yes, and it's wonderful. Be sure to follow this up with another GREAT graphic novel: "Triumph and Torment" a Dr. Strange/Dr. Doom team-up that is nothing short of amazing.

I usually don't give books bad reviews, but this one...this one is worthy of an exception. Probably the worst Graphic Novel I ever read. At this time I can understand why people wish that there was a Zero Stars option when reviewing a book.

I've been working my way through the contents of Essential Super-Villain Team-Up Volume 1, which features Doctor Doom as the central character, and I decided to take a little detour over to this graphic novel called Fantastic Four: Books Of Doom, because Doom made me. He's very pushy that way, and hard to refuse when he asserts the full force of his personality to make me buy stuff.
Books Of Doom was originally six comic books providing the origin story of the Fantastic Four's greatest ... Read More
