Comic books do many things. They entertain. They inform. They explore real world topics both directly and through metaphor. And some comic books speak to the fundamentals of life and humanity, inviting reflection. Doom #1 is an essential must-read that reminds everyone to rage. Read Full Review

I want to yell from the mountaintops how much I love this book. The story is packed with action, beautiful prose, and artwork that pushes the narrative and raises it to new heights. I found myself one moment on the edge of my seat excited for happens next, the next, feeling emotionally engaged at what has happened and what's going to happen. The layout of the pages is fantastic, making it a pleasure to the eyes. The pacing is balanced. Flashbacks and explanations don't drag the story and add the appropriate amount of information without any huge lore dumps. I know that I'll be reading this one over and over again for years to come!

Doom #1 is a surprisingly engaging, dramatic, and entertaining comic about Dr. Doom facing the greatest threat to the universe alone. Hickman's fondness for cosmically-oriented situations hits a sweet spot, and Greene's eclectic art style looks great. Read Full Review

Doom #1 is a visual delight, offering the end of every superhero and a final battle with Galactus in one issue. Dr. Doom emerges from this story as a man who sees himself as the inevitable end for anyone who faces him. He rambles a bit too much, but you can't deny how epic and awesome this story can get.

Doom #1 is a great one-shot that puts Dr. Doom in a new light. While he is typically depicted as a villain, this issue shows he is also capable of being a hero when he needs to be too. Yet, Doom is a different sort of hero and does not operate as mercifully as other heroes might. It doesnt necessarily show him defeating Galactus in a rematch, but he still puts forth his best efforts, not caring about whether he dies in battle. His personality remains pretty much the same, still somewhat cold and cynical, and yet he does what needs to do to fight against a threat to the universe. If you're interested in seeing one of Marvel's greatest villains wield cosmic power and be depicted in a more heroic light, this comic is for you. Read Full Review

Marvel's "Doom #1 features beautiful artwork with a narrative keeping readers at arm's length from it's title character. Read Full Review

The double-meaning of the title doesn't become clear until it's too late, and it's an impressive achievement. Read Full Review

I was impressed with the art, and I thought the writing was strong in the brevity department; both ideal for a story focused on monoliths like Galactus and Doom.

It wasn’t quite what I expected, but isn’t it sometimes better that way?

Ultimately, worth $7 imo, even if it doesn’t end up being a Key issue.

Plot
Two years after Doctor Doom tried to stop Galactus using a giant armor called the Doom Titan, Valerie Richards manages to locate Doctor Doom in space, after so many years, her magic kept him alive.

Valerie asks Doom to help stop Galactus, who is out of control, his objective is to destroy the universe and create a new one, he has eliminated everything in his path, especially Earth and its heroes.

Galactus has acquired so much power to endlessly devour planets that he had the power to eliminate all remaining Celestials.
Valerie resurrects Doom using Super Soldier Serum and Celestial's blood, she created Uru armor for him with Vibranium, a unique alloy.

Doom, more powerful than ever, finally feels like a cosmic god and prepares to stop Galactus and his heralds.

This comic implies that Valerie is more similar to Doom than her father Reed Richards.

This comic closes with what will be the final battle, leaving the question of who won.

Magnificent story that mixes all the key elements and characters of the Marvel Universe in a dystopian future, placing Doctor Doom as the last hope.

Art
It is full of textures, it is organic and full of details, with gloomy tones. Every page is mesmerizing.

Summary
Doctor Doom becomes the universe's last hope and its avenger. Excellent story that reimagines a disastrous future.

I say this as someone who isn't a big fanboy of Doom. I think he's a great villain but not "the greatest" like many think. I'm sure this is influenced by the fact I don't like FF and I grew up much more of an X-Men fan. With that said, this is an AMAZING one-shot. Well told, if simplistic, story. The art was incredible. I've never heard of this Sanford Greene person, but they need more work pronto. The whole book was just beautiful. I enjoyed the personality displayed by Valeria and the last thing she said was touching. I only took half a point off because as a one-shot it really didn't go anywhere and Doom's entire role was basically just rehabbing while Valeria gave a narrated flashback to catch him up to speed. But regardless, it was a great book, a lot of fun, and one of the best looking single issues I've seen in a while. more

Jonathan Hickman & Sanford Greene’s one-shot is a stunning work of storytelling, w/ artwork that will leave you breathless. From the opening pages, it’s clear that Greene’s visuals are going to be something special — the cosmic landscapes, epic fight sequences, & grandeur designs for Doom & Galactus are simply awe-inspiring. The colors by Greene & Rachelle Rosenberg perfectly complement the otherworldly space landscape, creating a truly immersive experience that sucks you in & never lets you go.

But this was more than just a pretty book. The story goes deeper into the relationship between Doom & Valeria Richards, a complex dynamic that Hickman developed during his previous Fantastic Four run. Their dialogue & interactions are perfection, making them one of the most compelling pairs in Marvel Comics. I would 100% read an ongoing Hickman series focused on these two.

While the plot itself may not break new ground, the character study is thorough & thought-provoking. It’s a book on the scale of something Doom himself would be proud of. This is a must-read for fans of Doctor Doom. Hickman & Greene created something truly special, & I would love to see more collaborations between them in the future. more

Great one shot. One I wish was developed into a 12 issue mini by Hickman and Sanford but it's good for what it is. A nice blueprint for future stories.

Dope art and just remember it’s all caps when you spell the man name.
DOOM

Cool enough story but Sanford Greene's art is just amazing!

**SPOILERS**

Summary: Valeria Richards finds the barely alive Doom floating in space after his battle with Galactus in his Doom Titan armor. He failed to stop him as did all of the heroes before him. She prepares him for his next battle with Galactus, who plans to use the Celestials' Ultimate Nullifier to destroy & recreate the universe.

Story was confusing a little bit, but it was still good. Unpopular opinion is I like the art in this story haha.

So much happens off panel and this one shot ends on a cliff hanger. The art was nice though.
