Nov 07, 2019Buy this issue and the previous one, if you didn't. I guarantee you this book isn't what you think it is. I have a feeling this title is going to be very sought out once people start hearing about how good it is. Read Full Review

Nov 06, 2019Overall this issue has a good pace to it. I like the idea of Doctor Doom on the run. Cantwell's writing keeps the story moving forward without too many words overtaking the art. Larroca's art is by far the stand out in this issue doing a great job with both the character design and action sequences. It is fun, with a good amount of action and definitely a must read for Doom fans. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte
Nov 09, 2019There's some nice parts in Doctor Doom #2, but also some not so great parts. If you want to see a more humanizing take on the classic villain with some real human drama, this book has you covered. If you want a well structured, intricate plot, maybe look elsewhere. Read Full Review

Outright Geekery - Antonio Pedro
Nov 10, 2019So, in conclusion" This series has been cool so far and hopefully will continue to be as time goes on. While it lacks some of the more badass Doctor Doom moments, it's still true to his character and the intrigue is compelling enough to keep you going. It's only on issue 2, so if it appeals to you in any way, you can still catch up. I mean it's Doctor Doom for goodness sake. Who doesn't like Doctor Doom? Read Full Review

While I didn't really like this series too much after issue 1, I've completely changed my mind after this issue. Cantwell involves so many characters, which is amazing for a first time comic writer. Cantwell manages to stack this comic full of action suspense, mystery, and character development. Great art as usual by Larroca. And the last page: Taskmaster🤩🤩🤩

Prelude: Cantwell started with a great first issue but can he keep this up? The Good: Doom is written extremely well here. Really love what is being done. Cantwell is bringing in many different characters but they all work. That cliffhanger! Man, seeing what next issue is, I'm excited. Art is really strong yet again. The Bad: Nothing. Conclusion: Another great issue from Cantwell. I'll admit when I heard the premise I was skeptical but I'm fully on board now.

Some parts of it were very good like Doom's reflection while getting transported. However I can't tell why but it just feels flat overall.

While not as good as the first issue due to being slightly slower, it's still going on strong, delivering great political action.

I liked it. The art is a little inconsistent in this series so far. The setup continues to be intriguing. I'm still curious to see where this goes.

6.5
My enthusiasm nose-dived with this issue. Chalk up my disillusionment to the janky plotting (jerking the rug out from under Doom's surrender + the Fatality Fakeout ending) and a rapid frosting of my enthusiasm for Mr. Larroca's art. He's once again portraying all his characters by dressing up the same two standard-issue comics mannequins. Plus, having your antihero quote Richard III is the very epitome of sophomoric cleverness. But the dialogue and characterization are still pretty tasty. The synchronicity of developments in this title and ASM has me seriously wondering if Nick Spencer has carte blanche to strip-mine plot points from other Marvel writers.

5.0
While the first issue sets up Doom as more of a very stable genius, this issue abandons that for cliche: "villain on the run" beats. This could have been so much more unique. Also--yes, Christopher Cantwell--we see you are very smarty pants with your Shakespeare references. Very clever and subtle.
