We known Victor Von Doom as one of the greatest villains in the entire Marvel Universe as well as one of it’s smartest minds, powerful magicians, and most complex antiheroes. How did the son of a Gypsy healer and witch become a loved feared king of an entire nation? How did a boy from such humble beginnings learn to master science, magic, and blend them into incredible feats thought impossible? Where did his obsession with Reed Richards come from? All these questions and more are uncovered as the Doctor himself recounts his harrowing, epic origin spanning all over the globe and even the depths of hell itself.
With Avengers: Doomsday coming soon, I wanted to shed some light on Doom’s frankly bonkers origin. Doom is one of my all time favorite Marvel characters and I’m sad to say hasn’t really been treated well at all in any of the Fantastic 4 movies. This book is the best retelling of Doom’s origin in my opinion. Brubaker captures the complexity, rage, and ego that fuels Victor flawlessly. Pablo Raimondi’s artwork is splendid towards the end where Doom carries out the Latverian revolution. Once I started reading, I literally couldn’t stop. Much like One World Under Doom and Dr Strange & Dr Doom: Triumph and Torment , Books of Doom is a must read for anyone wanting to explore the real Dr. Doom before Doomsday drops. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
