He’s gotta go rogue and go on the run!” I But in #2 and now #3, Doom is back to kicking ass and taking names to indignantly save the world (despite Mistress Death telling him before he leaves: “You will become my greatest servant of all.”)Ĭantwell got bored of his initial idea to have Doom defend himself from the worldĪs a more measured tyrant. The first issue took its time to settle into Doom’s psyche and made it believable that when Doom was accused of mass murder-he let himself be captured, even though he didn’t do it.

The first issue of Doctor Doom was really fantastic because it showed a more sensitive and thus, complex side to old chrome dome Doom.
