We also get a brief intro to Victor's future rival Reed Richards who from his perspective is one of the people that left such a mark on the tyrants life.

Since Byrne was on the book so long, he effectively also became the steward of the FF's main adversary, Doctor Doom. In the opening chapter set during Doom’s youth the varied seasons experienced by a wandering gypsy community are beautifully rendered, as are the picture postcard European locations, packed with ornate 18 th century architecture, and grandeur of the Himalayas. I did enjoy that Brubaker chose to recount Doom’s life through interview segments, however, essentially making his book like a documentary piece – as though this had actually happened.At its worst it is solid, and he can be very, very good (see Scene of the Crime, Velvet and part of his Captain America run).

Horror and grief intertwine to define a character equal parts madman, genius, and zealot --and one of the most complex and memorable villains in graphic novel history. Told in the form of a documentary, interviewing Von Doom himself and some of those who knew him in his earlier days, this graphic novel is one that did NOT waste my time in the reading. I think Ed Brubaker succeeded in what he set out to do, which is to craft a story that would stick to the basics but at the same time seem fresh to those of us fans who know the story so well or those not so familiar. His goals and ambitions, as portrayed in this book, set him truly in a league of his own among other Marvel super-villains.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

Are you tired of seeing his plans get foiled time and time again by his nemeses, the unflappable Fantastic Four?Truly a disquieting experience as you read on through Ed Brubaker's words as he puts color into one of the most mysterious characters in comics. Beyond that Brubaker takes the holes and illogical aspects about what we know about Doom’s past and plugs them solidly. One day, some of the Baron's soldiers came for Victor's father, asking him to use his knowledge of medicine to try and cure the Baron's dying wife.
