Books of Doom

Most longtime Marvel readers are familiar with the basic origin of Dr. Doom. He holds a longtime grudge against the Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards for an explosion that left him disfigured when the two were college acquaintances, and has carried that grudge throughout his various plans for world domination. Those plans, of course, have often been thwarted by the Fantastic Four. Doom’s history, however, is much richer than has ever been explored—until now. This series, narrated by Doom himself, offers a much deeper version of the events that have shaped Victor Von Doom, from his difficult childhood up through today.

Since this story is through Doom’s eyes, it’s hard to be sure how accurate the narrative is. That uncertainty does little to reduce its compelling nature. Ed Brubaker writes the miniseries and Pablo Raimondi and Mark Farmer draw it with depth and intensity.
