THE FUTURE IS DOOM!
In 2099, everything has changed. Technology has changed. Governments have changed. People have changed. But only one thing has remained the same...DOOM.
Rated T
While 2099 has become a mixed bag of re-creations, Doom 2099 could become an entire storyline of its own, worthy of Victor Von Doom himself. Fantastic Four fans may not have liked the 2099 book with their name on it, but they should grab Doom 2099 now. Read Full Review
A very impressive and important chapter in this new 2099 story. A strong story, unbelievable art, put them together and you've got one great comic!!! Read Full Review
Marco Castiello delivers some beautiful art in this issue as well. The way the characters look and the art style perfectly complement the tone that Zdarsky is going for with this story. I was blown away by everything. Read Full Review
This is the 2099 book I've been waiting for. It excels on all fronts. The story creates a self-contained narrative that takes an established name and switches things up. The story is engaging from page one. Zdarsky uses Doom's familiar psyche to take him, and the reader, on a fantastic journey (with one heck of an ending). But if you came for Zdarsky's writing, you should stay for Marco Castiello's art. In this issue, Castiello has shown me that he is a talent to watch. Read Full Review
A must-read for all fans of Doctor Doom, whether you like the 2099 setting or not. Read Full Review
If you are looking for a crazy jaunt with Doom that may or may not be real, then I can recommend this to you. If you are as confused as I am about why we are getting these 2099 books, this isnt going to give you an answer. Still, it looks good and is worth a glance just for its depiction of Doom himself.

The story and art are at odds and the issue suffers because of it. Read Full Review
It can be dull from time to time but the payoff is pretty satisfying. Read Full Review
The story comes across as fairly rote up until the end, with a surprising reveal that will both surprise readers and leave them questioning how they missed the clues. Unfortunately, some of those questions are fairly asked as the answers won't be so easily identified upon rereading the issue. Read Full Review
I'm not sure why 2099 is suddenly a thing again, but this issue is pretty middle-of-the-road. I like the story better than the art, but the final twist is sucessful, if a bit telegraphed. Read Full Review
This was a really good one-shot. Zdarsky has shown he really knows how to write Doom in the past, and this issue is no different. This is probably the best 2099 one-shot so far, with only Conan 2099 being a competitor. I haven't read Spider-Man 2099, but my hopes are high for that as well. We'll see.
Finally not only a tie in worth reading but also a damn great comic to read and look at.
The current 2099 event has not been enjoyable which really bums me out so reading this was a sigh of relief.
Once again Chip Zdarsky proves that he should be the one writing the main FF book. This is the best issue of this crossover (which was quite a letdown) so far.
What a twiiiiist.
I get how and why it's clever, really I do. But the pace felt labored, I didn't like the art, and it doesn't fit into the rest of the event. (Mainly by operating on an entirely different plane of quality, but still.) And while a second read does unlock the puzzle box of the script, the results aren't impressive enough to wipe away the frustration of the first read.
It was slightly confusing but had some really cool moments as well. I think its worth the read but I just wish I understood the whole reed richard doom platform time thing part of it.
It's not great, but it is okay.
