So
Yeah... I Guess I'm Excited.
| Doom is everywhere. Seriously. I half way
expect him to pop up in the Marvel Pride and Prejudice series. Watch out Mr.
Darcy, there's a new, rich socialite in town... and he's straight. There is
only one problem; I don't fell... well... ummm... fulfilled. It's kinda like
eating at the Golden Corral. There is so much food, but you know the meat
was minutes from expiration before it was grilled and all the casseroles are
three parts crap and one part hair. Not to mention the ungodly levels of
staphylococcus aureus in the salad bar. One good Doom story would really go
a long... long way. Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some good Doom
news in the future. I'm wishing 'pon a star. |
(Seriously, there is really no news in it.) |

Hows
About a Knuckle Sammich?
|
IGN has some new art from upcoming Dark Reign titles.
There is an upcoming book titled Dark Reign: The Kabal (shown at close
right). Which, to me, sounds more like the title of a Prince album, but hey,
Kick-Ass was taken, so they went with The Kabal. Not to ruin the story, but
here is what Kabal means: Kabal (noun) 1. Arabic
word for fortress. 2. Character from Mortal Kombat that looks like the
offspring of Lorenzo Lamas and a Tusken Raider (aka Sand Person).
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess they are gonna go
with the first definition... due to copyright laws.
Another note that might ruin the storyline is a brief
explanation of the cover to Dark Avengers #4 (shown at far right). The cover
shows Iron Patriot bashing Doom through a castle wall. What is does not show
is Iron Patriot then waking up and having to change his shorts due to the
immense joy he received from the outlandish dream he just had. Actually, I
don't know if that's what happens, but it is the only logical explanation I
can think of. |

What did
the Gauntlet Say to the Face?
| I had a better time
reading these few preview pages than I have had reading Millar's run on FF.
Doom walking in and owning these villains is how it should be; not bowing
down to them (Yes, that was a jab at the upcoming Millar arc). I mean, this
isn't even continuity and yet I am still excited about it. I guess it
just goes to show that... Millar sucks*. Sorry, I tried to be more poetic,
but it all came back to that statement.
Go
here
(Comic Book Resources) to read a great interview with Tobin and
Scherberger. Who are they you say? Not Millar*, that's all you need to know.
(*Millar is probably the coolest guy
in the world... well, other than my uncle who eats live bait... but he just
needs to tap that potential we all know he has. That being said, FF
sucks.) |

One
Small Step for Doom, One Giant Leap for a Vampire.
| Doom on the Moon? That
story is played out. But Dracula on the moon... Holy Frackin' Crap!!!! That
has potential. There was a time when vampires on the moon was only a pipe
dream for me. I would tell all my friends, "One day they will put a vampire
on the moon." And they would say, "Vampires don't exist." But did it phase
me? No. I persisted. And now, finally, we have vampires on the moon. Do I
like to think I had a little to do with this? Yes, but history will be the
judge of that. Anyways, here is the link to the Newsarama article for the
soon to be Doom and Dracula Moon Team-up that has been my dream ever
since I saw the moon for the first time.
Vampires on
the Moon at Newsarama
Now, I don't want to speculate
about the story. But I will say that it makes perfect sense to set up their
base of operations on the moon. This is Captain Britain. What have the
British ever done with space travel? As far as they are concerned the moon
is as off limits as good dental hygiene.

It's a
Terrorist Attack and I'll Cry if I Want to.
Okay, I'll be the first to admit Doom crying
over a terrorist attack is kinda like O.J. Simpson crying over spousal
abuse. That being said, him crying after 9-11 didn't bother me at the time.
Why? I was too concerned with the national tragedy at hand to worry about
whether my favorite comic characters were written correctly. To me, it was
an out of continuity issue written to help us cope with the recent attack on
America. Iit is comforting to think that even the biggest "villain" in the
Marvel Universe found these attacks deplorable. And that was what this issue
was about. After that, Doom went back to normal and all was forgot... or
not.
Apparently JMS has gotten so much flack about the Doom crying scene that he
has had to come out and blame the actual guilty party, J.R. JR.
CBR has a big write-up about the issue in their Comic Book Legends Revealed
column. Follow the link and read about it.
CBR: Comic Book Legends Revealed
And to those who complained about Doom crying... get a
life. |

This
Vampire Don't Sparkle
| Vampires are just
soooooooo in right now. As far as the eye can see, teenage girls are
swooning over sexy vampire studs who don't drink the blood of humans. They'd
rather sit and talk about their feelings and put on body glitter. Well you
know what, screw that! I wanna see some throats ripped out. Looks like
Captain Britain and MI13 just might give that to me. Not only that,
click the picture on the left to see the last page everyone is talking about
(spoilers)... and by everybody, I mean me and you. Just me and you,

"40%
off Doom? Scandalous."
|
Midtown Comics has a deal for 40% off Marvel back issues. That includes
issues starring the Maser himself. Just type in the codeword FOOM in the box
at the top right of the homepage. The sale goes through Wednesday. So, if
you are in need to feel a few holes, head on over to Midtown. Whoa, that
sounds really perverted. |

"It's
Reigning Doom. Hallelujah."
|
IGN has some info on Dark Reign, including the Dark Reign : Fantastic
Four Tie-in. Looks like we have some Doom to look forward to. God knows it's
been a while. |

12/10/08
"Was
it Worth the Wait?"
| I know I haven't reported
much on Doom lately. Heck, I haven't reported at all. But honestly... what
has there been to report? Other than Millar's run on what used to be "The
World's Greatest Comic Magazine," there has been squat with Doom. But now...
ohhhhh now... there is much to report. We got Dark Reign, Doctor Doom and
the Masters of Evil, and this glorious thing you see to the right. Yes, a
Doctor Doom Bobble Head. I have seen the Captain America, Thor, and Vision
Bobble Heads from Funko, and this is gonna be sweet. Yep, set this guy up in
your bobble head collection and I guarantee he will knock the beets out of
Dwight Schrute. |

"Illumi-Naughty"
| So, what's the best thing to
come out of Wizard World Chicago? Is it the announcement of a What If?
starring Doom entitled "What if Dr. Doom Kept the Beyonder's Powers"? Maybe,
but it may be this little gym of a series. Turns out, Bendis will be
scribing a series towards the end of Secret Invasion. What is it about? We
Don't know, but it seems to be an Evil Illuminati. And what an Illuminati it
is. You have Doom... nuff said... you have Namor, Loki (now with breasts),
The Hood, Emma Frost, and Ambiguous Guy in Suit. God, I love Ambiguous Guy
in Suit!!! Seriously, the image is not the best, and I wasn't there, so it
could be anyone from the Purple Man, Ezekiel Stane, Donald Trump Jr., who
knows??? Alls I know is he sure would look good with a big freakin' Red
Skull. Anybody? Red Skull FTW? Anyone? Why is everyone so down on the Red
Skull?? Wait, you say he's a Nazi?! And partly responsible for the death of
millions?! Okay, he can stay at home. |

"No!!!
Not the dream where I'm falling AND the one where I go to school naked!!!"
| Has anybody read this? If you
have thoughts on it, email me (latverianembassy@yahoo.com)
and I'll post them. I just want to make sure I'm not the only one who is
reading this. Honestly, is the Thing even powerful anymore? It seems like
every time there are new characters to introduce, Marvel sits down and says,
"Who can we have them beat up to show how powerful they are? How about the
Thing? Nobody cares about him, right?" Given, as a member of the FF,
he isn't my favorite, but I have respect for the guy. Look at all the times
he's battled it out with the Doctor and held his own... sorta. Also, Doom
goes from owning the Sentry a few months ago (see Mighty Avengers) and now
he is kept immobilized by "Bad Dream Girl?" Oh no, not my bad dreams
all at once!!!! Look, I know after reading the last issue of New Avengers,
Doom was a major target for the Skrulls and could very well be a Skrull, but
even if that's the case, how does Skrull Doom go from tooling the Sentry,
out-smarting Tony Stark, and calling Ms. Marvel a cow-whore... to being
bested by Bad Dream Girl and her X-men reject posse? Doom > Skrull Doom >
this crappy new group of tools. Let me know what you think. Maybe
I'm wrong... but even when confronted with it, I won't admit it. Holla! |

Comments
So, I’ve got a lot of feedback on FF
#558. Actually, I’ve got 5 emails, but hey, that’s more emails than I have
friends, so there’s something. I’m gonna give you some quotes from the
various emails. I would post the entire emails, but the parts where they
talk about how great I am and how my website is the be-all end-all of Doom
sites is just repetitive and annoying *sigh*. The one I’m gonna start off
with is probably the most well written one and it comes from Kevin. I goes a
little something like this; Hit It!
“...I
actually quite liked it. More than I have any issue of FF in a while. To
focus in on Doom, I hate it when writers have people beat the crap out of
him to "show how cool they are", but this was kinda different. Doom was
sitting in the Raft (Why he was in full armor, I have no idea) so there's a
0% chance he had any of his gadgets on his armor at the time. So, much as
the Master may be awesome, he's sitting there with no powers, none of his
normal tech.... and then gets attacked by three guys who can teleport, smack
the Thing through the floor, create force fields, project nightmares into
your head and blow the THING through a few buildings. AND HE ESCAPES.”
There’s more,
but this is the gist of it. Kevin makes some good points.
John, who emailed me next and goes by the name skecthbot81, does not, but I
agree with him wholeheartedly.
“Screw
Millar!!!!! Doom f***in’ rocks and he will after Millar.” “Fantastic Four
has sucked for the longest time and it won’t change.”
There is a little more, but not much.
Stacy seems to think that like all story arcs this one has to play out
before we judge it.
“Give Millar time. Doom just showed up. We don’t know what the purpose of
this intro is. Doom could come out of it looking better than before.”
I
don’t know whether Stacy is a male or female, given the ambiguity of the
name Stacy, but from the whole “let it play out before complaining”
attitude, I’m going with female. And as a male, I reserve the right to make
rash/idiotic assumptions before I know the facts. Which leads us to this
next email from Garrett.
“Millar sucks at writing superheroes. Read Kick-Ass. It kicks ass. He needs
to write books where he is not in control of characters that have existed
for 40+ years.”
Good point. Kick-Ass is pretty good.
The next sums up what most people feel about FF# 558 and it comes from
dglockheed, who apparently has no sir or family name.
“What the hell is up with you? Roleplaying, Magic, DD, Warhammer, etc is
just as important to comic shops as comics. It brings in tins of money. You
are pretty funny, but that write-up just goes to show how stupid you are.
Most of the time the owner is right there in the action playing the games
when you are trying to look for comics. I know my shop would let you look
and move out of the way, but I guess you didn’t visit mine on one of your
trips.”
Actually,
that email had nothing to do with FF #558. He’s pissed over the On Sale Now
write-up of Iron-Man Legacy of Doom #3 on the home page. I just thought I’d
post it. Also, he actually wrote “tins” of money. Now, I know he meant
“tons”, but the accidental typo that made it go from a gigantic amount of
money to a minuscule amount just makes it that much more hilarious. Anyways,
sorry I made you mad, dglockheed, but I calls them like I sees them.
If
there are any more people who want to sound off about FF 558… or what a
giant douchebag I am, the email address remains
latverianembassy@yahoo.com.

"Tonight
We're Gonna Party Like it's 1985"
|
Just got my copy of Wizard 201 and it
had some new revelations about Fantastic Four, 1985, Wolverine, and
Kick-Ass. Turns out… they are all gonna be connected. Now, coming from
Millar that doesn’t surprise me (he loves the cross-overs), but the big
thing Wizard had to say about the event that did ruffle my pantaloons was
that it centered around a new villain… THE MENTOR OF VICTOR VON DOOM. Yep,
you heard it correctly, not only that, according to Wizard, two of Doctor
Doom’s former trainers show up. Two?? As if one isn’t ridiculous enough.
According to Wizard, the
first time we get to see Doom’s Mentor is in the Universe where Johnny and
Reed are gay lovers (I’m pretty sure that’s the same universe where I was
voted “Sexiest Man Alive”). “Doom’s Master,” as Millar so ridiculously puts
it, “[is] a guy working his way down parallel realities killing everything.
He’s coming back to see how Doom’s getting on, and he isn’t too thrilled
that he hasn’t killed everyone in our universe yet.” Whoever this guy is, I
hope he kills all the parallel universes, so we don’t have to deal with this
type of story ever again. Seriously, what is going on??? Why does Millar
have to do this? Does he have Bendis envy? He just wrote Civil War; let
Bendis have a crossover. Why do you have to link every title you are
writing? Can you not separate them in you mind enough to write more than one
good story… and I use the word good very liberally.
The Wizard article links
the titles as Past, Present, and Future. Past being 1985, Present being FF,
and Future being Wolverine (and Kick-ass just having a few guest appearances
I guess… but we can’t leave that title out cause Millar is writing it).
I don’t even really
know what to say to this. I’m still hung up on this “mentor” idea and there
being someone in a position to not be pleased with Doom. I am really floored
by this idea. I guess I’ll do like I always do and wait it out to see how it
goes… then complain afterwards… and a little during. If you want to read
more about this, pick up Wizard 201. If you want to sound-off, shoot me an
email. |

"Last
Page Entrance? Never!"
| Although she may not know it, Iron Maiden
(moderator of the FF Message Board) is one of my most favorite people on the
planet. She knows her stuff... plus, thanks to her, we have a "first look"
at the last page of FF Issue 557.
I don't wanna spoil anything, so if you wanna take a look
at it, click on the picture of the solicited cover of FF 558 to the right.
Did you look?? Were you surprised? Heck no you weren't!
We've seen this art in Wizard (about 5 months ago) and it is almost exactly
the same as the art for the cover of FF 558.
In a million years, I never expected this last page
shocker. I mean, Doom and Last Page Entrances are practically mutually
exclusive. Is my sarcasm noticeable yet? |

"Yes, Virginia... There is a Mighty Muggs Doom."
| I'll be the first to admit it, I am very
skeptical when new Doom product is shown at conventions. It seems 60% of it
never sees the shelves, and when it does, good God does it suck! But now I
may have to recant. I just walked into a Wal-Mart last night, talked to my
contact, and he produced an unopened box of Marvel Mighty Muggs Series 2.
The Doom is excellent... and by "excellent" I mean "Super Cute and Hello
Kittyish." We can now add the phrase "Wanna see my cute lil' dictator
?" to our list of double entendre, nerd come-on lines.
If you don't have a retail store near that stocks these
things, I'd recommend
Hasbrotoyshop.com. They are very reliable and have this up for order
now. |

"I am Envy Man"
| If you've been living under a rock, or if
you're not a nerd, you may have not noticed that Iron Man opened this weekend.
I saw it... of course. Anyways, it made... I don't know... a
billion-gajillion-dollars. You know why??? It was done... wait for it...
CORRECTLY!!!! They stuck with what made Iron Man popular. So, what does this
have to do with Dr. Doom. Well, I'll tell you. We now have a Marvel Movie
Universe ready to unfold under the new banner of what is this awesome
rendition of Iron Man. From this comes Avengers (hopefully done by Favreau)
probably preceded by Thor or Captain America. Loads of good movies due to
Iron Man being successful from source material. We will have a Movie Marvel
Universe that is awesome... but where the Doom is just some business man
with metal in his face that shoots lighting bolts out of his hands. I am
jealous of the movies that come after Iron Man. Maybe if FF had come after,
we wouldn't have a lame-duck representation of what is arguably the best
character that comic literature has to offer. I can hear them now, "Let's
ignore Doom's tragic origin... it'll never work." There are not enough
nut-kicks in the world to punish the guilty parties. |

"You and What Army?"
| Comic News
International
has a preview up for Mighty Avengers #11. It actually looks pretty sweet.
Apparently, through the help of Morgana Le Fey, Doctor Doom has amassed a
giant army of Lite-Brite creatures. Nothing is more sinister than the
encouragement of child creativity through the use of easily swallowed
plastic bulbs and an easily accessible light socket. Doom knows this.
Another big plus is he's not been revealed as a skrull... yet. Keep the
faith, guys.

"Thou Shalt Have No Graven Images... Except This One"
| The famed collectible
pioneers over at Kotobukiya recently announced a giant licensing deal with
Marvel. You know what that means... more Spider-Man and Wolverine statues
than you can shake a stick at. That's a given, but these guys really know
their stuff. They know good and well that any Licensed Marvel product line
must contain the Master of all things freakin' awesome: Doctor Doom. Now,
not only do they have the coolest name in all of collecting, they have the
license to the coolest character in comics. Here's to hoping we get a Doom
in every category of product they create. Their products are always top
notch and should blow the competition out of the water.
Here is a link to the information
released at Wizard World Los Angeles.

"Oh... My.......... God."
| So... how have you guys been lately? Anything
been going on? The other day, I headed down to K-Ville and picked up a few
things at a toy expo. It was pretty cool. Plus, I've got this wicked ear
infection and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need some antibiotics. It's like
half my face is underwater... is that one word? Underwater? I'm pretty sure
it is, anyways, did you guys see Horton Hears a Who? Yeah, me
neither. I hate when I see movies and they're nothing like the book, so I
just avoided the thing altogether. They take out so much, you know? Are you
guys gonna vote this year? I don't think I am. I mean, Hillary Clinton
doesn't know what it's like to have a cab not pick her up, Barack Obama is
secretly a Muslim sent to destroy America... and John McCain is a
Republican. How am I supposed to relate to any of those candidates? I'm totally being sarcastic by the way. Anyways, enjoy your day.
Oh yeah, did you notice that they have forever preserved
my worst nightmare in a beautifully rendered piece of art? It's like Greg
Horn raped my mind of haunting images and transferred them onto 11x17 artist
board. Thanks Marvel... the ear infection I caught off Joe Q's iPod buds was
not quite enough.

"Children, Avert Thy Eyes!!"

time machine. What are all the great things you would do with it? Go back
in time and bet on sporting events? Kill Hitler? Have booty calls with all
the saucy females of history? Cleopatra? Marilyn Monroe? Eleanor
Roosevelt? Well, apparently that's what Doom is into. In an interesting
new chapter in the saga that is Doom, we find out what Doom has been doing
during Civil War. Since the devastating fiasco with Mjolnir, Doom needed
to relax. What better way to do that with a little hanky panky through the
anals of history... And yes, I meant to spell it that way.
CNI has a preview of this week's
Mighty Avengers #9. As you can see by the picture on the right, it looks
to be pretty sweet. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but Morgana
asks for something from the future... turns out they don't have free
clinics back in her time.
Anyway, if you wanna spoil it for
yourself, you can head over to CNI by following the following link that

following line.

"Happy New Year"
| The New Year is finally here. You know what
that means... Resolutions! And I'm not talking about screen resolutions you
big bunch of chickless nerds... or dudeless nerdettes. Since Marvel has
already started on their New Year Resolution of ruining the Spider-Man
franchise (See "One More Day"), I will let you in on my resolution for the
New Year. I have always been very hard on Bendis
(Notice the picture to the right). This year, I'm gonna take things with a
grain of salt. I don't mean that in the cliché way either. Literally, every
time that I read a story Bendis writes I don't agree with, I'm gonna pour
salt in my eyes. That way, instead of taking it out on Bendis, I'm too busy
screaming in pain. If this is anything like last year, Morton Salt's stock
should skyrocket... along with my insurance deductible.

"Whip Out Your Yule Log."

body odor... or the three week old bowl of Lucky Charms that your
drunk friend left under the sofa. Christmas is almost here. This time of
year always remind me of two things: 1. Emanate bankruptcy; and 2. That
wonderful tale of the time Santa was caught in a giant bear trap and Doom
had to save Christmas. Wait,... you've never heard that before? Well, you
need to talk with a financial advisor. Dept affects us all; no one is
spared. It seems like every year someone falls in.... Oh, you meant the Doom
story. Well, you must not have been visiting here long because I talk about
it every year. It was a great story... ah, old Marvel... you've gotta love
it. I'm still waiting for them to do a "What if" story about it, but instead
of Santa getting caught on Doom's room, he gets caught on Magneto's.... Awk--ward.
If you haven't read the story, take the time to read about it
here. I have a fun little write-up with oodles of puns and wordplay that
would make Oscar Wilde jealous.
Doom Saves Christmas
BTW, if you're tired of donating charity to policeman or
orphanages... feel free to donate money to faceless fan-site operators.
Sure, we may not keep the streets safe or have our ribcages showing, but
darn it, we have a hundred dollar a week comic habit that must be fueled.
I've gotten to where I can't afford the Marvel Adventures titles

"A story about infiltrating shape shifters? How original."
|
Here is what the solicits say about Mighty
Avengers #9:
This is what Marvel says about this issue in their
previews for February:
Kneel before Doom! Can Earth's Mightiest Heroes take down the
Latverian ruler on his home turf? Better question: Is he even the one
to blame for the chemical attack on NYC? Join Brian Bendis and Mark Bagley
to find out!
Now, when I read the solicit,
I assumed Doom was gonna be a Skrull... cause that contains just the right
amount of "Piss Curt Off" that is consistent in Marvel storylines.
But now that I read the Marvel previews, it sounds like he was framed and
maybe there is a chance he isn't a Skrull. Either way, Bendis said that
Marvel gave him permission to take the "Doctor Doom Arena" farther than it
has ever gone before. Bendis doesn't consider much "very far", so I am a
little on edge. Bendis, if you could just drop me an email and tell me it's
all gonna be okay, I'd feel a little better, but right now I dread this
story worse than my monthly blood test at the free clinic. All I know is if
Marvel makes Doom a skrull, it is gonna leave more giant holes than a Paris
Hilton and Lindsay Lohan kegger party. The only difference is these holes
are gonna be harder to fill... a lot harder.
Email me, Bendis... email me. |

"Do You Have a 6 inch Dictator?"
| 6 inch Dictator; I could make that joke every
day for the of my life and never get tired of it... I guess that is why I
use it every time a new Doctor Doom action figure is released. Anywho, the
new Fantastic Four Legends Doom is out now. I have a few and I can say this,
It is the greatest six inch piece of plastic than can be purchased by anyone
under the age of 18. I seriously can not get enough of this figure. He is
taller than the Toybiz one, his mask has eyeholes in it opposed to eyes
painted on the mask, his hood doesn't look like the hood on a Old Navy
sweatshirt. It just rules. Sure, some can say that it should be painted
instead of the armor being silver plastic, but those are the same people who
complain about bad pizza. Go over to Hasbro Toyshop and purchase one or two.

"Actual Doom News. Blasphemy!!!"
| Well, let's get this out of the way first...
the same guy who brought you Victor Van Damme and goat hooves will be the
new writer on the Fantastic Four in 2008. And yes, Doom will be there. Yes,
Mark Millar will write Doom. Let's hope these issues are more on the level
of "Civil War" as opposed to "Animal Farm". Not that I don't like Animal
Farm. I believe it to be one of the best allegories in modern literature,
but I was talking about goat hooves... and they have walking Animals... and I was
talking about how I wanted it not to have the .... why am I explaining this
to you?? Oh wait, guess who draws him.... Hitch!!!! Yes, Bryan Hitch. After
what seems like an eternity, Doom will return to the title that made him
infamous drawn by none other that Bryan Hitch.
There will also be a new series entitled "1985". And no it
is not Orwell's sequel to "1984". It is a sequel to the... wait for it...
Secret Wars!!! The crowd goes wild!!! I have seen samples from the pages and
Doom Looks fabulous (see for yourself on the right). Let's just say 2008
could be a banner year for our humble Master. Let's just hope the banner
doesn't read "State Fair."
Man I had a lot of Orwell references there. 2+2=5.

"Sweet Lord Baby Jesus"
| What in God's name is this monstrosity?? This
my friends is the new Signature Series Doctor Doom. Not only that, this is
the doctored version (no pun intended) that will theoretically look better
than the final product. That's right... the final product will not look this
good. This has to be the worst doll I have ever seen... and trust me, I've
seen some whacked out dolls. Look at the body for God's sake. It looks like
a regular body painted silver. It does not by any means match his giant
chud-like head. I mean, its armor over skins... he should not look anorexic.
Hasbro had me on a super high with their Marvel Legends-esque Doom, but they
have brought me back to reality with what has to bet the worst version of
Doom since "Power Driven Weapons." I guess it just goes to show that for
every... who am I kidding, I have no anecdote for something this god awful.

"Jazz Hands!!!"
| I am still reeling from the
pictures that I spied last night (No, I'm not talking about those pictures),
but is Hasbro done? NosireeBob. The images we all viewed a day ago are the
production images, you know, the ones where everything is perfect and not
painted by 7 year-olds in Shang-Hai. We now have the finished product, and
by God did those infants in Bangladesh do a fabulous job. I freakin' love
this Doom figure. I know Hasbro has an issue with painting things. And
by issue, I mean... they don't. Turns out, that on Doom it's okay. What gets
me is, it is your job to set up action figures and you can't even put the
gun in Doom's hand correctly. Seriously... it's your job. You don't see me
mopping the floor with the bucket, do you?
If you want to see more pictures of the
finished FF line, travel over to Marvelous News.

"Call the Police! Hasbro Has My Dream Journal."
| Apparently Hasbro has been
reading my Dream Journal. Hopefully they will not release the parts I wrote
about Fred Savage, a yard of pvc pipe, and the Ice Cream Sundays, but even
if they do... all is forgiven. I just saw the pictures of the new Fantastic
Four Legends line over at Wizard Universe and I am floored. Green Speedo
Namor, Mole Man, "Slutty" Invisible Woman, Ronan the Accuser, "Can You Reach
That on the Top Shelf for Me" Reed, "Actually Silver" Silver Surfer, Those
two other FF members...... all those plus what you see to the right of this
paragraph. How awesome is that??? I'm cereal. Hopefully these will be easy
to find, but if they aren't, I will gladly abduct an infant to sell to a
wealthy family in order to afford on on eBay. Hear that Hasbro, if this is
not readily available, you are supporting Black Market Baby Trade. Just
sayin'.
if you truly think you can handle the
awesomeness of this entire line, follow the link to Wizard Universe. You can
also check out the link to the 4th wave of Marvel Legends. It contains the
long awaited Black Bolt figure.... but don't tell anybody. Remember; Loose
Lips.... Blow Up the Moon.
Fantastic Four Legends
Marvel Legends 4
There is also a section for the Spider-Man
Movie Legends, but they suck. If you are interested in those, get off my
site.... seriously, leave. I'm just kidding. I can't stay mad at you. |

"Slott Through the Heart... and You're To Blame"
| So, I'm buying my weekly
comics on my way back from the Plasma Bank where I was selling my weekly
amount of plasma to pay for my weekly comics, and as I am flipping through
my copy of "Deadpool/GLI Summer Fun Spectacular", who should happen to show
up... why our humble Master, Victor von Doom PHD. I knew from the day that
Squirrel Girl was resurrected from Mort of the Month limbo that this was
coming. Now, if you don't like Deadpool... you suck, but that aside, you
might want to know what all the fuss is about. I am providing a link to the
page in question. I did not post this, so if I get any emails about how this
is copyrighted, you're mailin' the wrong guy. Don't kill the messenger,
Marvel. Anyways, you can read the reminder of a dark period in Doom history
here.
Worst Page in A Comic Ever
And to all you rabid Fanboys out there.
Please don't seek out Dan Slott and murder him. I really like his other
stuff... and you know if he's gone, Bendis will just have another book to
write. Do us a favor and spare him.

"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is a Suck-sess"
| Actually, don't let the title
fool you... I actually enjoyed the movie. It was well worth sneaking in the
back door to see. Doom was represented much better (given... a Campbell's
soup can with a green cowl would have been a step up from the first movie)
and I just can't get enough of Doug Jones. It was a little odd for the
Surfer to sound like Morpheus (I kept waiting for him to ask Sue to take the
blue pill), but other than that, the movie was pretty solid. I know most
people have been freaked about the whole Galactus is a cloud fiasco, but it
was very well done. Fans who don't read comics will enjoy it without being
taken out of the movie by the appearance of a flying, purple, planet eater,
and the fans who do will notice a very familiar shape within the cloud that
let's you know that they know that you know they know... if you know what
I'm sayin'. Overall, I give this movie a solid "B".

Embassy
Removed from Adventure Island
| For the past 8 years, Latveria
has had an Embassy within the walls of the Universal Island of Adventure.
Although the "Fear Fall" is still one of the most popular rides available to
the public (without a citation or the fear of an incurable disease), the
Embassy has sadly been removed from the tourist trap known as Universal
Island of Adventure. The "Fear Fall" will remain... at least until they
change the name to "Magneto's Dropping Popularity" (owww, burn), but there
will be some minor changes. Now, this won't change much, but it will change
the appearance of Doombots around the park. They will not be there. Only Jim
Lee versions of the X-Men and Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends will be
available for photo opportunities. This means that there will be no photo
ops for you with a robotic version of the Master. Sorry bout your luck...
but if your only reason for going to a theme park is to get you picture with
a giant Styrofoam robot... we at the Embassy can not offer the kind of help
you need. On the bright side, Thing 1 and Thing 2 will still be available
for autographs over in the Dr. Seuss area of the park. I love those little
scamps.
We can all thank Jeremy from MySpace for this
little tidbit of information. Apparently he went to the park, but he could
not get a picture with a Doombot. All he got was a questionable rash from
1980's Rogue. You would think Jeremy would stay clear of women with names
that mean "An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or
rascal; One who is playfully mischievous; A wandering beggar; a vagrant."
That definition just screams "free clinic" if you ask me.

I Claim
This Frisbee in the Name of Electricity
| So, there have been a billion Doctor Doom
movie variations in plastic form, and to tell the truth, they all suck. Even
the first 5 inch Doom from wave one is just a rehash of a previous crappy
figure. This figure has me intrigued though. My first impression was, "I
wish that was six inches." Which, FYI, is the first time I've uttered that
phrase... outside the bedroom. The production art looked good, the movie
image looked good, and the figure looks good. This has me excited. Most
things that look good on paper, usually rule when they come to fruition...
just ask the producers of "Weekend at Bernie's 1&2." I mean, the guy's dead,
but thanks to the medical genius of Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy,
they are able to keep him looking alive with ropes and sunglasses in order
to stay at his condo. Not only that, they do it twice. To me, they should
have made more. There were 6 Rocky movies and they can't make another
"Weekend at Bernie's"? I think it's time we had a hat trick resurrection.
Bernie and both Jason Silverman and Andrew McCarthy's careers.

Gypsies,
Tramps, and Thieves
| Hey, have you guys heard about this new thing
called MySpace? Turns out there are a lot of people on the planet, and they
all congregate to this one place to leave each other ridiculous messages and
show pictures of themselves wasted and in compromising positions. I was
always raised to refer to a place like that as "Heaven." Anyways, I'm pretty
sure this thing is gonna be big. I thought I'd better jump on the wagon
before it got... you know... mainstream. Visit the Latverian Embassy on
MySpace. Right now it's really small, but with a little attention, warmth,
and a tender touch, it could grow quite large. Feel free to make yourself my
friend... I'd like to actually hear what people thought of my site (other
than the occasional email about how great I am and how much money I can save
by switching to Geiko). Drop by, say hi... but no rhyming!! None!

Hang In
There
| This is where I would post something if there
were anything to report. This is how it goes though, folks. When you don't
have any time to report, everything happens, when you have time... well, you
get the picture. I should get a hobby that takes up more time than comics
and maybe something would happen... but then I wouldn't have time to read.
Well, hang in there guys... it won't be long... maybe. |

Fantastic Four Extended Edition is Excellent Entertainment for Family, Friends,
or Fun Loving Fans of A Lot of Alliteration
On June 5th, Fantastic Four the Extended
Edition will be released on DVD. Why buy this new version when you already
bought the regular edition and/or the special Best Buy exclusive collector's
tin for $30? Let's let the product description explain why.
Prepare for the all-new, action-packed Fantastic Four
2-Disc Extended Edition. Bursting with hours and hours of bonus material
including an exclusive 100 minute "Making of" featurette and an Inside
Look at Fantastic Four 2, this Extended Edition also features 20 minutes
of footage added back into the film.
20 minutes of extra footage added back in? 100 minute
featurette? I'm getting extended just thinking about all these extras. Does
it keep the plot of the original cut the same... cause I wouldn't want the
integrity of the original messed up just for lil' old me. I haven't been
this excited since X-Men 1.5... I mean the Daredevil Director's Cut... I
mean the Elektra Director's Cut... no wait, it was Spider-Man 2.1. Yes,
Spider-Man 2.1... what a great/necessary redo. I hope I buy Ghost Rider this
month and it gets redone in about 6 months. It's becoming hard to find
places to store all this money that keeps falling out of my butt.

choose your favorite Marvel character. Are you ready? Do your best
impersonation of that character... don't hold back. Excellent. You
definitely have what it takes to be in a Marvel Studios movie. I know you
saying, "Curt, you silly minx, you didn't even see me." True, but I have
seen every Marvel movie... and it couldn't have been half as bad as the
portrayals in those cinematic masterpieces. The good news is that now you
have a chance to actually be in a Marvel movie. The title is not yet
revealed, but it could be any of the rumored future releases. Captain
America, maybe. Avengers, possibly. Howard the Duck part deux, who knows...
not me. Follow this link and join in on the fun.

It's
Been a Long Time... I Shouldn't Have Left You Without a Dope Beat ta Step To.
|
Well, I'm back. I know it's been a while,
but work has been real hectic (electricity and Budweiser don't buy
themselves). But now it's summer and I can update when I feel like it. So
here are some updates for things that have gone on in the past few weeks.
You have probably heard about them, but pretend you haven't. It makes for
better reading. |
Let Me
Pull Out My Doom Stick... Wait, What?
| In the new Marvel Zombies / Army of Darkness
crossover, we get a good look at the Marvel Zombie Doom. Hey, it's Ash from
Army of Darkness. Why not? I mean, this crossover basically takes what was a
good story, changes the author, and makes it a bad story. It's the Marvel
way. I've heard that Kirkman has to approve this crap, but I seriously hope
he is getting paid mad duckets to let somebody ruin his stuff this way.
Apparently in the Marvel Zombiverse, there are like a zillion Ashes running
around screwing up the continuity of a Universe that is only a year old. Why
did I pick this story to start off my return from a large absence? There is
nothing funny to say. It just blows... and not in the good way.
*Edit* Remind me never to
review a story on the 4 page preview alone (It didn't even have words for
God's sake). This issue was actually pretty good. A good representation of
Doom (albeit a little comical) and a overall good plot. The first issues of
this series left something to be desired, but when Doom shows up, things
usually get better. This is the case with this issue as well. So what's the
message, kids? Don't judge a book by it's four page preview... and don't
judge a woman by her face; always check the hands and look for an Adam's
apple. That wasn't learned by reading this story, but it was learned
recently and I thought I'd pass it on. |
 |
Bend it
Like Bendis
| According to Brian Michael Bendis, Doom is
going to make an appearance in The Mighty Avengers as the main villain...
wait, why should I tell you when I can uses Kojak's own words... here ya go:
“The big villain is Dr.
Doom, and I’m very happy to announce that I got approval to bring the Dr.
Doom story to a place it has not gone before. I don’t want to say what that
is exactly, but we’re taking the hero versus villain fight in the Dr. Doom
arena farther than it has gone before. The Avengers are going to kick some
ass.”
Really, Bendis? Kick some Ass? The "Mighty" Avengers?
Unless by saying, "taking the hero versus villain fight in the Dr. Doom
arena farther than it has gone before," you mean a battle of who has the
most worthless superhero team, I'm pretty sure it's no match up. Doom
finally returns and we have Quesada's hairstylist penning the story (to get
the joke, read Joe Fridays #100 over at Newsarama). Give Doom some respect.
The part where he says "got approval" like it was in doubt has me worried. I
don't need to get ahead of myself though, I do like what Bendis did with...
you know... the... ahem. Who am I kidding, we're screwed.
PS: Just for the record, if this story rules, I will
gladly eat crow. This is to you Bendis. If you craft a great Doom story that
is respectful to the character and not just some filler of Avengers beating
on a guy in a metal suit, I will post a banner honoring you and your shiny
head here at The Latverian Embassy. I am anything if not respectable... Is
that how you say it? |
 |
Production Art Imitates Life
| Here are the new pictures of Movie Doom. If
you scroll down the page, you will see pictures from the production art.
They look the same. Un-freakin-believable. This looks okay, but Doom kinda
looks like a frog. I also can't tell what's going on with his sleeves. I
guess we'll just have to see when the movie hits theatres. I do know that
Doom will be riding on the surfer's board. Whether they will stick with the
story is yet to be seen, but since Galactus is a giant storm cloud... the
chances are slim. Wait, did I ruin the movie for you? Oh, not me, just the
storm cloud thing. Oh, that's understandable. |
|
Money
Shot
Actual Conversation at FF2 brainstorming
session:
On to Doom. What was it that made the comic character so intriguing? Oh,
they never show his face. Hmmmm? Yeah, let's change that. What's popular
now? Star Wars. Make his a mix between that robe guy and that Dark Invader
guy. I think we have a winner here boys.
End of Conversation and hopes for a cool movie Doom.

It's Not
the Size that Matters
| Wonder who has been turning your My Little
Ponies into glue? Who's been cutting the thumbs of you Monchichies? Who cut
the crotches out of Barbie's panties? It's the world's smallest seeker of
world domination... and if it takes peeing into your Sea Monkeys to achieve
that goal, then so be it. Seriously though, the
cuteness is blinding. If you want to buy one of these, stop buy the Hasbro
store:
http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=ps_results&product_id=18822
The coolest part of this toy is the ability to carry him
around with you and ask the ladies if they wanna see your "Two Inch
Dictator." Trust me, it's worth the restraining order. |
 |
12
inches of Doom
| No, I'm not talking about what's in your
mom's sock drawer. Wait, I used that joke 4 months ago. I'm sorry, I was
hard up for a joke... and whenever I am hard up, I go back to your mom.
The Icons doom is out in stores. Swear to God, I've seen him.
Buy one to keep in the package, one to take out, and one for me. I'm trying
to build up a 12 inch army of Doombots. It's the least you could do after I
was kind enough to alert you that this toy is out.
You can also buy the toy here for a reasonable price:
http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=ps_results&product_id=18811
And just like the Superhero Squad Doom, the coolest part
of this toy is the ability to carry him around with you and ask the ladies
if they wanna see your "Twelve Inch Dictator." The only difference is this
one will get you dates instead of restraining orders. By the time they
figure out you were talking about a toy, it'll be too late. Kachow. |

Toy
Un-Fair
| Why is it unfair? Because I don't have these
in my possession today, that's why!! We have gone from Doom looking like
crap in 99% of all sculpts to these two beauties. Let's pray that they all
come out this way off the production line. Most toys look like the
painter/assembler was doing two types of lines while working; assembly and
cocaine. First we have the Marvel Icons 12 inch
figure and we have the Marvel origins Statue. These are both a steal at the
price they will be at retail (Icons 19.99 and Origins 70.00).

5 Inches
of Electric Pleasure
| No, I'm not talking about what's in your
mom's sock drawer. I'm talking about the new Doctor Doom figure from
Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer. You heard me, 5 inches. Hasbro
is scaling down the line. See, it turns out when a figure is under 6 inches,
they have excuses of why the sculpt/articulation/paint apps/and action
feature sucks. "It's only 5 inches. We can only do so much!" Before, with
six inches, they had no excuses for the piece of feces Doom we were stuck
with from the first movie. This Doom comes complete with "Emperor Palpatine
Force Beams" and "Flat Hand Kung Fu Grip" which is perfect for waving
good-bye or getting your money from an uncooperative employee. At least this
time we will have an excuse not to display these FF figures with our 6 inch
Legends as opposed to the excuse for the last FF movie figures (i.e. They
Suck equine extremities).
BTW, don't take anything dirty from what I said up top. I was
talking about those electric socks your mom got for X-mas. She does have
little feet. We're still friends right?? |
 |
02/10/07
Ahhhh,
Get These Snakes Off My Nipples!!!
| Thanks to the boys over at
www.joblo.com we have this glorious
production art of our boy Victor. This is the new production art for Doom
from FF2 Rise of the Silver Surfer. The funny thing is is that it does not
look like the action figure above, but then again, the figure above looks
like the Doom from the first movie. I like this art, but skirts without a
shirt just don't do it for me... wait, that makes me sound bad. Either way,
I say add a shirt and we're gold... errr, silver.

Not Just
for Golf Clubs Anymore
| Are you tired of you children /slash/ nieces
and nephews /slash/ stupid room mate /slash/ drunken father breaking your
toys and screaming at the top of their lungs, "Toys are for children you
little pansy. Go out and date girls. If I had known you'd have turned out
like this, I'd have used protection"? Well, that quote doesn't necessarily
apply to all parties mentioned in the last sentence, but are you tired of
broken toys? If you are, Hasbro has a solution. They're take Titanium, the
strongest metal on the planet, and make toys out of that. Now, I know what
most of you are sayin', "Oh no, Curt. Adamantium is the strongest metal on
the planet." Well, Adamantium is fictional, you nerds. Jesus Christ, you are
the reason fathers hate us. Anyway, now you can let those rat finks known as
relatives touch your toys without freakin' out. Just try and break this one
, Dad!! Who's the pansy now? You can't even break a little toy. Oh God, let
go of my arm... Jesus, let go of my arm... oh my God, the pain.....
Anyway, Hasbro is gonna release this Titanium Doom pretty
soon. Doom is caught in this figure looking very majestic... as if to say,
"Halt!!! Hammer Time." |

I Miss
Demonic Cartoons
| There is a new Julian McMahon interview in which he reveals
some secrets from the upcoming FF sequel. Turns out Doom is gonna try and
steal the Surfers powers... now, whether or not they stay true to the comic,
Ogdru-Jahad only knows, but one thing is for sure, "It's
great demonic, cartoony stuff."
I swear, Julian McMahon actually says that in this interview.

| In this time of giving, we should stop and

possible... the true reason for the season... Doctor Doom. I mean without
Doom, Christmas would have ended a long time ago. Need proof,
click here, but I've never lied to you
before... well, accept the time I told you that you were not a loser. That
was just to get you to stop crying. You're pathetic.

Good
Evening, Boy and Ghouls... haaaaa ha ha ha ha...
|
In the fabulous Marvel Tradition of
creeping Curt out, Diamond Select has released images of their new Doctor
Doom bust. It has long been debated what Doom looks like under his mask, but
apparently at Diamond the consensus is that Doom looks just like the Crypt
Keeper. Now, I like the Crypt Keeper as much as the next guy (wait, I just
asked the guy next to me and he says the Crypt Keeper blows...), but
thankfully, this bust has a feature normally reserved for famous, gloved pop
stars: a removable nose. He does not, however, come with a removable snaggle-tooth
feature. But of course, if you don't want to urinate on yourself every time
you look at your bookshelf, you can put on Dr. Doom's traditional mask...
which has be re-imaged to resemble the likes of a Bulldog. |

Sharon
Stone, is that you under that mask??
| Now, this page from Blade #2 is not captioned
yet, but just by looking at it... well, you can see for yourself. Had it not
been for a strategically placed sword, we would have a glorious eyeful of
Doom's junk. The way Doom is sitting and the way it cuts to the eye
close-ups is just a little too Basic Instinct for me. The only thing missing
is that Newman guy from Seinfeld. This just goes to show what captions add
to a comic. If it were up to my mind to decipher this situation... Jesus,
God only knows what the outcome would be. Marvel must be takin' Blades
connection with Wesley Snipes a little over the edge. I'm hopin' the title
of this comic is not "To Wong Doom, thanks for Everything! Blade."
BTW, is it just me or does Doom's mask (in the last panel)
look like it is smiling. It is almost like Doom is saying, "Caught ya
looking, Snipes." All I know is, Blade's face went from smilin' to serious
awful quick. Nothin' like gettin' caught eying another dude's stash to
straighten you up... no pun intended. |

I Always
Knew It Would Be Like This.
| Well, according to Newsarama, Fantastic Four: The End is
going to be released in November. Every issue of Fantastic Four from the
past 45 years has been building to this moment. I think it's pretty obvious
what is going to happen. I mean, of course the Fantastic Four will be broken
up by a giant four-armed, cyborg, Doombot (Or, God help us.... a giant
four-armed, cyborg, Doom). Any idiot could have seen this ending coming from
a mile away. It makes sense for the most important comic team in history to
come to their demise in a ridiculously stupid story instead of a showdown
between the FF and just good old regular Doom, right? Hack... cough...
hack.. gahhhach... cwack... caough... ahhhh. I'm sorry, I about choked on my
sarcasm. For those of you who aren't already sold by this magnificent* cover
alone, here is the solicit.
FANTASTIC FOUR: THE
END #1 & 2 (of 6)
Written by ALAN DAVIS
Pencils and Cover by ALAN DAVIS
Alan Davis writes and pencils the final story of Marvel’s first family! Even
the strongest family can be torn apart by tragedy—and in the futuristic
world of tomorrow, the members of the once-Fantastic Four are divided and
vulnerable to opponents from their past. What events could have caused the
FF to go their separate ways, and how does their disbanding set the stage
for a conflict that will send shockwaves across the galaxy and beyond?
32 PGS. (each)/Rated T+ ...$2.99 (each)

It's O-Freakin-ficial...
No Goats About It!!
| The goat hooves are gone!!! We have actual "in comic"
confirmation to back up the mega sweet cover from issue 30. Now, I don't
like to toot my own horn (unless of course "toot my own horn" means to...
never mind), but "Toot Toot." Who said, "act like the goat thing never
happened." Probably a lot of ashamed farmers, but more importantly, me.
That's right folks, it is okay to like ultimate Doom... until they reveal he
has a huge prehensile tail and lobster claw. But for now, I must update my
armor section... but who has the time? If only I could save time in a
bottle... and get these freakin' Jim Croce songs out of my head.
Highlight the following section for spoilers::
I know that this is Reed inside Doom, so we know that
it must be the real Doom... which is great because there is no way he is
still packn' goat hooves in that armor. His goat legs would not conform to
the shape of the actual man leg armor, but give Marvel time... I'm sure
they'll find a way to screw us. And screw us hard.

But
Seriously Folks...
| Diamond Select just announced the release of a new Doctor
Doom Mini-bust. This bust is a part of their new series entitled "What
if Late Night Talk Show Hosts Became Marvel Super-Heroes." As you can see
from the photo, Jay Leno will be playing Doctor Doom. Other statues in the
series are David Letterman as Davedevil, Conan O'Brien as Banshee, and Jimmy
Kimmel as Blob. For those lucky enough to visit Wizard World Chicago, you
can pick up the convention exclusive Paul Shaffer as the Rawhide Kid. It's
the closest Paul will ever get to a bust. Hey-ooooooooo. |

Re-Suydam-Diculous!!
|
How many Zombie Covers has this guy
produced?? Huh? Like, at least a Brazilian covers, right? How many of those
have our boy Vic on the cover? None! Zilch! Nada! So when I heard that
Ultimate FF #32 was getting a variant Suydam cover, I was eagerly
anticipating one with Doom on it. I mean, he is on the regular cover and a
pivotal character in the story, right? I know he wasn't on the last variant
for Ultimate Fantastic Four or the one before that... or the one before
that, but this time he's on the regular cover, so... wait a minute... the
cover for Ultimate FF #32 is based on FF #8 (a classic cover with the Puppet
Master on it). Surely Suydam wouldn't just do that one and leave Doom out
altogether?
Suydam it! |

A Wise
Man Once Said, "I Gots Ta Get Me One-a Dese!!"
| The Fresh Prince must have been talking about
the upcoming Hasbro, Marvel Legends Icons, series 2 Dr. Doom when he uttered
those immortal words. This action figure is truly a gift from God, Allah,
Buddha, Tom Cruise, or what other deity you worship. This prototype was on
display at Sad Diego Comicon and took everyone by surprise with it's
likeness of the Master (look at all the other figures we have of Doom... it
really is a surprise to see a good one... need I bring up Famous Covers
Doom? I think not). Hasbro takes over Marvel Legends in January, so it could
be a while before these hit shelves, but just the though of it makes me soil
my Huggies. The only bad thing, this is the prototype, so there is plenty of
time for them to screw it up by adding a big rubber cape. I'm am really
speechless... which makes it really hard to write jokes, but I also don't
wanna let you guys down, so... vomit, Titicaca, syllabus, poop. Are you
happy now?? *Thanks to Action Figure Insider for the picture... not
that they gave me permission, but thanks anyways. Right click'n rules!!

Mom, Get
Me the Bactine!!!
| The cover for 1602: Voyage of the Fantastik #2 has been
released and it RULES!! As you know, I hate 1602 (read down the page a
little for further proof) but this cover has me intrigued. I mean, this
cover is truly sick... in the best possible use of the word. I'm not talking
sick like, "Hey, that 360 was sick. Wanna go to the 7-11 and waste our life
away," sick. I'm talking, "Dude, check out those sick scabs on that chicks
back. That'll teach her to slip 'n slide on pavement," sick. Why can't we
ever get covers like this for Doom appearances that actually count? We have
to get pictures of Doom holding up a hammer (even though he never does it in
the issue). Jesus Christ, Marvel, why can't you put a cool cover on a book
I'm excited about? Stan Lee meets Doctor Doom coming up and the cover it
gets looks like Salvador Larocca was blindfolded and getting a magic
mushroom enema while he was drawing it (scroll down if you don't believe
me... and then go straight to Hell for calling me a liar). It looks like
something outta freakin' Battlestar Galactica... and just like it says in
the Bible, "Battlestar Galactica Blows!!!" |

I'm Not
Even Supposed to Be Here Today!!
| Clerks 2 is out today. Go see it. As many of you know, Kevin
Smith is one of my favorite writers (even though he has never written
Doom... I know) and maybe now that Clerks 2 is out, he can freakin' finish
Daredevil / Bullseye: Target. But since you're on the net, you're not
watching Clerks 2 now, so watch this instead. It is Huckin' Filarious
(almost as much as my site... I'm shameless).
Although I'm plugging Clerks 2, this is a Doctor Doom website. So
where do I get off plugging a movie and cartoon with no Doom in it? Well...
this cartoon is comic related and has the Silver Surfer in it. Doom once
stole the Surfers powers, so this cartoon is completely passable and totally
related to my website... sigh.
** Warning this 'toon contains adult language and situations, but no
where near as much as the original "Clerks." Don't say I didn't warn you,

What in
God's Name is this Crap??!!!??
| Come on!! What?? I guess this is just Marvel's attempt at
being funny, but ANT-MAN?? I know Kirkman is great at writing comedy, but
Doom under Ant-Man's feet... on the top of the pile no less. We can always
say it's a Doombot, but even a Doombot deserves more respect than that.
I met Kirkman a while back at a convention and he said that his Ant-man
run had no plans for Doom, so at least we know the cover is just to grab
attention, but still.... Ant-Man?
The one thing about this story I will really enjoy is Ant-Man is going to
be a "hero" just like I would be given his powers: using his newly found
powers for personal gain. That's right, one day I will own a Dunkin' Donuts,
and if it takes shrinking down, crawling in the owner Habib's ear, and
punching him right in the brain to get it, by God, I'm in. |

Doctor
Doom, you just got back from hell. What are your plans now??
| Apparently, Dooms plans are to do two things:
Jack and Squat. What is wrong with you Marvel? There is a Civil War going on
and Doom is gonna appear in Black Panther?? He hasn't appeared since four
score and seven issues ago. That is like fighting someone and not using your
hands. You have a major player just sittin' around. I can think of a few
scenes I'd like to see in Civil War. Look at the picture on the right... I'm
givin' you gold here. Kill that government @$$ kiss
and end the War... Wait, maybe that is why Marvel has not used Doom yet... I
mean who could compete? He'd end the series. Good Strategy Marvel. MMM has
always been your slogan.
Make Mine Marvel? No!
Make More Money. |

Wizard
losing their Magic.
|
In Wizard #177 (July), the top 100 villains of all time
are ranked by the Wizard staffers. Doctor Doom comes in... are you ready for
this...
4th!!
Upon this issue being printed, street hustlers everywhere called Wizard to
thank them for being such great customers. When the Wizard staff inquired
what this meant, the King Hustler replied, "Shoot, the amount of Crack ya'll
must have been smokin' to place that Exorcist b**** above Doctor Doom in a
list of the 100 best villains could have single-handedly put our baby mommas
through night school. Props, Yo."
Being a product of the streets I agree. The write up they gave Doom was
superb, but it would have been superber* written under "1. Doctor Doom." Not
to ruin the list for you (which is ironic do to the fact the list is already
ruined without Doom occupying the #1 slot), but the top 5 are as follows:
5. Zombies
4. Doctor Doom
3. Palpatine
2. Pazuzu (The Exorcist girl)
1. The Joker
That's right, Doom is outranked by Palpatine, Linda Blair, and the
freakin' Joker. Being Wizard, I'm surprised Wolverine wasn't number 1.
BTW: Love your magazine. Chris Ward is the bomb, Yo. I bet he voted for
Doom. Like I always say, "Shamus for my real friends and real mus for my
sham friends!"

For Thine
of You Who Doth Enjoy a Dab of Culture From Thine Comics...
| In the tradition of 1602 and 1602 the New
World, Marvel will be releasing a series based on The Fantastick Four (and
yes, that is supposed to be spelled with a "K"). This series will have Otto
von Doom in it and he shares the namesake of his 616 counterpart, our own,
Victor von Doom, so I am reporting it. This is in no way an endorsement.
For the Article, click
here. The story will not be written by Neil
Gaimen, but by Peter David and Pascal Alixe. The story will undoubtedly
sell... to those who think themselves intellectuals.
For those of you who are not familiar with 1602, it is a
series created by Neil Gaiman to prove that he is too sophisticated to write
a normal comic book. When asked to comment on it, Gaiman said, "I write
novels. I can not be bothered with trivial spandex wearing heroes. I will
only write it if I can put the heroes in the 17th century; thereby proving
what an intellectual I am. I know history, for I am a Renaissance man. Now,
get me my tea, wench!"* Marvel hyped 1602 to be the event of the century,
but it turned out to be the literary equivalent of Marvel heroes attending a
Renaissance Fair. Peter Parquah? Come on, Marvel.
* Gaiman only said this in a dream I had, but even in it, he oozed
genius. |

Okay,
Spread 'em.
| Sideshow has a new Doctor Doom
based statue being released as an exclusive at the
San Diego Comicon. Doom is a Doctor
(don't get technical; just play along) and sometimes doctors have to do
things a normal person would not. This statue captures Doom getting ready to
give a full body exam. That metal is gonna be so cold.
I don't know how big the statue is, but I'm assuming it isn't
life size, due to the fact it would be huge and weight a ton. I wish it
were, though. Can you imagine pimp slapping someone with those gauntlets?
I'm guessing heavenly.
This exclusive is just great for me because I only live
about 6 states and 2300 miles away from San Diego... Yeah, it sucks, but if
any Doom fans who frequent this site are planning on attending, hook a
brother up. If you'd like to help, drop me a line at
latverianembassy@yahoo.com
I so don't want to pay eBay prices. |

Welcome
Back, your age was your ticket out.
| According to
Newsarama, Stan Lee (in honor of his
65 year anniversary at Marvel) is going to be writing a series of new
one-shots in which he meets many of the Marvel characters. And guess who is
he is going to be "meeting" Stan Lee.... Doctor Doom!! The reason I say
"meeting" in quotations marks is because they already meet back in Fantastic
Four #10. So this is more of a reunion than it is a meeting. In the issue,
Doctor Doom is gonna call Stan out for slandering him in print all these
years. Let's face it, Stan is to Doom as Michael Moore is to George W. Bush.
The only differences are: Stan is not wretchedly obese and admits he is
writing fiction.
Check out the art. I'm so glad they commissioned my 5 year
old nephew to design and draw this cover. I'm just kidding... he's 6.
(Actually, it's Salvador Larocca, but come on, he can do better than this.)
The one-shots will also contain a classic story starring
the characters (written by Lee) and a new story starring the characters
written by one of Marvel's new super-hip writers. Doom will be written by
Jeph Loeb and drawn by an artist to be named later... maybe they'll go all
out and get my 9 year old nephew.

What Does
Mine Say?! Sweet, What Does Mine Say?! Doom!
| I know what your
thinking: A good review for the recent story in Marvel Adventures Fantastic
Four entitled "Doom, Where's My Car?" Impossible. You'd be wrong (BTW: I'm
not joking; that's its title. I'm not that clever.). Not only does this
story receive the award for "Best Outdated Pun," it also gets rave reviews.
Apparently, Jeff Parker's mutant power is taking crap and spinning it into
gold... which beats a healing factor any day. Can you imagine making you own
logs of gold everyday? You can read the review
here, but let me warn you... they enjoyed the story... a lot. I'm also
gonna let you in on a little secret... I liked it too. There, I said it.
There is just something about knowing that Doom traded Reed a car back in
college and we're just now hearing about it, God knows how many years later,
that makes me giggle. Then again, the giggling could be from my new portable
bidet... yep, it's the bidet. |

Hey, it
beats Pong.
Doom has been in countless
video games over the years. From his years fighting the Bush Administration in
Doctor Doom's Revenge to fighting Kung-Fu masters in Marvel vs. Capcom, he is
always whoopin' "A" in all his pixilated glory. And you know what, now he is in another
video game. Big whoop, right? Yep, pretty much, but the news is kinda slow after
FF 537...**sigh** Either way, thanks again to Victor Cardigan for the pics of
Doom in Marvel's newest video game Ultimate Alliance. I would have got them
myself, but I don't get gaming magazines. I prefer to get girls, but I'm glad
Vic took that bullet for us.
You can also click
here to get your own Doctor Doom Ultimate Alliance Desktop Wallpaper or
Click here to see the new
trailer for the video game (note: In this clip, Cap is seen hitting Doom in the
face with his shield... right... but what is not seen is Doom ripping out Cap's
throat and feeding it to Latvo, the official Latverian K-9 mascot. I know this
happens in the game. How? Inevitability.)
Also, if you don't believe that Doom fought against the Bush administration,
here is a pic for you to smoke on.
In this game, Cap and Spider-Man must stop
Doom from taking over the world, but it is not until George HW Bush shows up
that they succeed. That glowing yellow stuff in Doom hands... it's not a
concussion blast... it's Bush Senior's vomit. He is notorious for blowing chunks
on heads of other nations... If you don't get that joke, Google it.

Pullover!!
No, it's a Cardigan, but thanks for noticing.
Four Score and seven hours
ago, one of my good friends, Victor Cardigan, bestowed upon me and all other
Doom fans the gift of a side to take. Are you with Iron Man? NO! Are you with
Cap? NO! I'm with Doom. Our friend Victor has given us the ability to broadcast
our beliefs through a clever JPEG image. Yes, our friend Victor Cardigan, who
was blessed with a name that is the perfect mixture of Doctor Doom and button up
knitted garments, has now blessed us with something just as cool. Take this
image, post it on your site, print it out, pass it out at the mall, remain
dateless, and by God, show your love for Doom, so that a nation of Doom, by
Doom, and for Doom will not perish from this earth. Thanks again Vic. I believe
everyone agrees with me when I say, "Killer boots man!"

The preview for Wolverine #42
has a brief scene in Doomstadt, Latveria. The scene involves a shadowy figure
enquiring about the events of Civil War and Nitro. The figures identity is not
revealed, but gives us hope that if Latveria is showing up in Wolverine, Doom
will play a large role in Civil War.

| The new "Wal-Mart
Exclusive Giant-Man Series" of Marvel Legends just hit my home town today. I
bought them all including the new Thor. As soon as I took him out of the
package, I made Mjonir more comic accurate. I then took the Thor figure and
blew him up with an M-80. It's okay though, I buried him in my yard to
fertilize the grass for years to come. Fitting end for a hippie.

preview for Fantastic Four #537. It is unbelievably awesome. Words to
describe it have escaped my brain. Every time I try to say what I think of
this preview, I just drool and cry uncontrollably (tears of joy, of course). If you don't want part of the
issue to
be spoiled, by all means, don't visit the link... but if you want to see
some of the
coolest Doom pages and Doom dialog I have ever gazed upon, you are in luck. Watching Doom
fight the bat creature from Eureka's Castle made me all warm and
fuzzy inside. Oh, I'm sorry, did I spoil the issue for you? Trust me guys,
you'll want to see this. I got so excited that I drop kicked my cat across
the room. Me-ouch!!

Newsarama has the
solicits up for July and the cover they have for Ultimate Fantastic Four #32
smacked me in the face like I pinched its rear. It is awesome. If there are
no goat hooves hiding below the table, I think I could really start to enjoy
this Doom. He looks the way he should look... as opposed to looking like a
mix between the Wicked Witch of the West and Mr. Tumnus. They also have a
gajillion solicits for Civil War. My wallet hurts from just reading them...
or that could be hemorrhoids. Click on the supertasticularly awesome picture

not really, but it should). We reported this a while back with news coming from

You Didn't
Get Books of Doom?!! Say What?!!!!!

Calm down. It's alright. So what? You
didn't get first printings of the Books of Doom at the comic shop. So what? You
didn't get to read this fabulous story as soon as it hit the stands. So what?
Your girlfriend is cheating on you with a football player. Who cares? I don't.
None of those things are happening to me. But to those of you that are afflicted
with these misfortunes, I have good news*... Books of Doom is available for
pre-order on Amazon.com. Not only is it super cheap (much cheaper than 6 regular
issues), but it is hardback as well. Your life may suck, but it just got a whole
lot better.
*(Note: I could have ended this
sentence with, "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching
to Geiko," but I won't. First off, because I possess a soul... it is black,
small, and resides in a jar under my bed, but it's a soul nonetheless. Second,
because I would rather gouge out my eyeballs than tell a joke that my mother
would find as equally funny as I find someone getting kicked in the nuts. It's

Looks like Thor will not be

Doom is ready to pick up his Hammer and lay the hit on anyone around who doesn't
like it (as can bee seen by the cover for Fantastic Four #537). Doom has always
been worthy in my eyes to wield Mjolnir, but now everyone else will see it too.
Tune in to watch Doom play his biggest game of "Whack-a-Mole" yet.
Not only do we get this good news, but according to

awesome, and it is embarrassing when I wet myself out of joy. The FF #536

itself is Doomless (Which sux, so I guess I'll have to wait 5 more days till it

| Not
much news on the Doomfront. Give it a couple of weeks. It'll pick up. I
just wish I had something to report. I know, I'll make something up; just
like a real news organization. |
| Today, Reed Richards
was voted by "Super-Spaz Monthly" to be the person "Most Likely to Eat It."
When asked to comment on his award, Richards gave the following remark,
"It's only logical that I was selected. After running the statistics through
my head, I was the only feasible choice. Ryan Seacrest kept popping up, but
I see him as no threat."
We at the Latverian Embassy believe this award to be misrepresented.
Richards is not the "most likely" to eat it; he already eats it. To us, that
makes the award moot. |

Holy crap.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any nerdier, it does. Oh boy, does it
ever.
-
In an attempt to tap every
known nerd market in the universe (And please, do not take offense to the word
"nerd." I count myself in the ranks with you... well, some of you), Marvel
released their ubermegapopulartastic series "Marvel Zombies" earlier this year.
This happened after the success of Zombies in Ultimate Fantastic Four (and by
success, I mean people bought it). It seems that no character is safe from being
a zombie in this series. Newsarama just released some photos of the Doom zombie
on their website. I will now shamelessly show you a crop of the photo below:
Great, isn't it? Yeah, I though so too. My biggest question is; where do the
zombies get their endless supply of Crest White Strips? Look at those choppers.
They must have ate the brains of a dentist.
Marvel seems to want to please all of their fan's various geekdom with a
character that fits with their genre of choice. Given the current state of
Marvel, we can only count the minutes till we get Werewolf Doom, Klingon Doom,
Beanie Baby Doom, Warhammer Doom (paint him yourself, of course), G.I. Doom,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Doom, Vampire Doom (Wait, Ultimate Doom is already a
descendent of Vlad the Impaler... My God, it's upon us already... Curse you
Ellis, you goat loving simpleton!). You know, with all these different Dooms
running around, it is only a matter of time before we get some, I don't know,...

According to last months
Wizard (March '06), Julian McMahon is not returning for Fantastic Four 2. So,
when I opened the new Wizard (April '06) today, I was shocked to hear Marvel
Studios President of Production, Kevin Feige, say McMahon is still in. Who's
doing their research? Next thing you know, they'll be saying DC has weapons of
mass destruction. Superhero Hype has been saying for months that McMahon is not
returning, but Feige says he is. Given, Feige has a little more credit, but
still. Here is a transcript of what Wizard wrote.
 Fantastic
Four 2:
"The script is in progress and we should have the entire cast back and the
cameras rolling by late summer," said Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president of
production. As for the rumors that Dr. Doom actor Julian McMahon will not be
returning, Feige said, "That's not true."
Now, I myself believe Feige. I mean, when
has a president ever lied to us before???

t-shirts, hoodies, baby doll T's, etc. They have characters, logos, comic covers
and much more. There is an image gallery dedicated to Doctor Doom with images to
choose from for God's sake. What more could you want? And Hey, if you don't like
their images, you can upload your own onto a shirt. Copyright, shmopywright.

Well, well, well. Looks
like Richards' wife is trying not to have her name dragged through the mud. "You
have hurt my career," she says. Your career? What about dooms $4.95. Doom
dropped 5 bucks on an issue with no Sue nudies. Unless of course they were
invisible. When Doom looks at this issue, Doom thinks, Fantastic Four? More like
Fantastic Two.
Another attempt by a Richards to ruin life for everybody.
