Guggenheim sets the stage with a juicy tale of ancient dark magic! Sister Sorrow is introduced effortlessly and feels like a character that's been with us all along. This is obviously the foundation for the story to come and it is solid! This feels like a classic comic (without the heavy handed camp) from dialogue to artwork and it's a blast! "True Believer Marvel fans will love this story! I can't wait for more! Read Full Review
Bring on the Bad Guys: Doom #1lays a solid foundation for a villain-based story, while also reminding fans why Doctor Doom is one of the best villains in the Marvel Universe. It's a good year to break bad. Read Full Review
Doom finds out about a mystical knife - he wants it.
Sister Sorrow has it and instead of taking it, he blabs on and on about what the knife is (giving the lady info she probably shouldn't have - way to go Vic).
Doom fails in getting the knife and Sis Sorrow gives it to the surprise villain (that everybody will see coming so it's not really a surprise) Mephisto.
Mephisto needs 4 more knives to energize his gauntle... oops I meant soul forge.
So, this is a Doctor Doom special issue - and he loses. LOL.
