About this deal

Dwayne McDuffie, Casey Jones & Vince Russell then deliver a restrained psycho-drama in ‘My Dinner with Doom’ ( Fantastic Four Special, February 2006). Here the rivals intellectually sparr: testing each other’s defences as the Latverian simultaneously seeks to wipe out all his lesser enemies. Despite some unfortunate slurs, Lee and Kirby paint the picture of a young Victor von Doom, who has already lost his mother – without knowing the true extent of her life – and soon loses his healer father as well, due to the ruling Baron of Latveria's rage regarding their own dying wife. Doom's journey in life eventually leads him to America, where he meets Reed and Ben for the first time, as well the accident that leads him to adopting his iconic armor. Meanwhile, the second story is another of his clashes with the Fantastic Four. Collects Conan the Barbarian (1970) #150-171, Conan the Barbarian Annual (1973) #8-9, and What If? (1977) #43.

The other heroes remain deep in conference, debating their response to the self-proclaimed but apparently benevolent saviour of the universe. At the moment they finally decide to oppose him they are all vaporised by a bolt of energy… Written Stan Lee, John Byrne, Walter Simonson, Larry Lieber, Roy Thomas, Bill Mantlo, Dennis O'Neil, Chris Claremont, David Michelinie, Jim Shooter, Roger Stern, Mark Waid, Ed Brubaker, Gerry Conway, and Dwayne McDuffie Acts of Vengeance! Loki’s villainous schemes play out across the Marvel Universe, as an array of heroes face unfamiliar enemies! For Doom, it means fighting The Punisher! Though Doom appears in several issues of this event, his role is not that big.

Doctor Doom Reading Order

Fantastic Four #480-483 (or Vol. 3 #51-54), collected in Fantastic Four: Heroes Return – The Complete Collection Vol. 4 By the time Doom discovers his danger, Reed has freed his comrades and daughter. In the catastrophic battle which ensues, the Iron Dictator replaces Franklin as the hostage of Hell, but not before, in one final act of malice, maiming Reed with searing mystic retaliation: melting half his face by means neither magic nor medicine can mend… This occult odd couple concoction is one of the very best Marvel Universe yarns; a powerful tale contrasting the origins of the two doctors to produce effective motivations for and deeper insights into both characters. Conversely, some books contain stories so big that they manage to feel massive and universe-spanning.

NO ONE RIVALS DOOM: Get Ready for THE BOOK OF DOOM OMNIBUS

Collects Star Wars: Republic (2002) #78-80, Star Wars: Purge (2005) #1, Star Wars: Purge – Seconds to Die (2009) #1, Star Wars: Purge – The Hidden Blade (2010) #1, Star Wars: Purge – The Tyrant’s Fist (2012) #1-2, Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command (2011) #1-5, Star Wars: Dark Times (2006) #1-17, Star Wars: Dark Times – Blue Harvest (2009) #0, Star Wars: Dark Times – Out of the Wilderness (2011) #1-5, and Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison (2012) #1-5. Speaking of Valeria, Doom's relationship with her has gradually become one of the more intriguing qualities of both characters.The entire line-up consists of: Fantastic Four #5-6, 39-40, 236, 246-247, 258, 278-279, 350, 352, 358, Fantastic Four Annual #2, Amazing Spider-Man #5, Marvel Super-Heroes #20, Giant-Size Super-Villain Team-Up #1-2, Super-Villain Team-Up #13-14, Champions #16, Amazing Spider-Man Annual #14, Uncanny X-Men #145-147, Iron Man #149-150, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #10-12, Marvel Graphic Novel: Emperor Doom, Marvel Graphic Novel: Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment, Fantastic Four (1998) #67-70, 500, Fantastic Four Special (2005) #1, Books of Doom #1-6, and Doom stories from Astonishing Tales #1-3, 6-8, and Marvel Double-Shot #2. This fantastic graphic novel served as a culmination of Doom’s attempts to save his mother from Hell. Triumph and Torment reestablished Doctor Doom as a potent magic user in the Marvel Universe and contained some insanely cool Mike Mignola artwork. This truly king-sized and epically imperious compendium was released to celebrate the 60 th anniversary of the Lord of Latveria, who debuted in Fantastic Four #5 April 1962. It gathers many of his greatest battles and other landmark moments of triumph and tragedy, and opens with a contextualising Introduction from Ralph Macchio before reprising the contents of Fantastic Four #5, 6, 39-40, 246-247, 258-260, 350, 352, 500; Amazing Spider-Man #5 & Annual #20; Marvel Super-Heroes #20; Giant-Size Super-Villain Team-Up #1-2 & Super-Villain Team-Up #13-14: Champions #16; Uncanny X-Men #145-147; Iron Man #149-150; Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #10-12; Marvel Graphic Novel Emperor Doom; Marvel Graphic Novel Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment; Fantastic Four (volume 2) #67-70; Fantastic Four Special (2005) #1 and Books of Doom #1-6, as well as material from Fantastic Four #236, 358 & Annual 2; Astonishing Tales #1-3, 6-8 and Marvel Double-Shot #2 collectively spanning July 1962-June 2006. Morrison takes Reed out of the equation for much of the narrative. He's off working in the lab, and in that absence, Doom strikes. Not with weapons, but with offers of what Ben, Sue, and Johnny want. Doom starts with Ben, by suggesting that he can turn him human again. Ben accepts, only for the deal to have a monkey's paw-style side-effect, the first step in Doom's attempt to dismantle the family. I’m impressed that Marvel didn’t just make this an FF collection. Even if the Fantastic Four — especially Reed Richards — tops his enemies list, he really makes life miserable for everyone.
