Doctor Doom

Red Hulk #1

Obviously attempting to take advantage of the events of Captain America: Brave New World (despite a mixed critical and fan reaction) as well as laying foundation to rebuild Doctor Doom as a major villain in the Marvel Universe leading into Avengers: Doomsday next year, Red Hulk #1 is more about IP and cross-marketing than interesting storytelling.

Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon

One of several unusual one-shot pairings, Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon brings Rocket to Latveria to help Doom with a project involving travelling backwards in time to before the Big Bang. It’s a bit of a screwy concept, but it does play on the idea of Doom respecting Rocket’s technological know-how and needing his help to make his latest invention work. I will say, it’s been a bit since I’ve been interested in anything Doom related (see his run as Iron Man) and this does offer some intrigue. The most obvious solution to the set up, which is really just an excuse to have fun putting these two characters together, would be the failure of the experiment. However, that’s not how the comic ends.

Already failing himself to stop an out-of-control Galactus driven mad by hunger, Doom learns from Valeria that the heroes of Earth (and those across the universe) didn’t fair much better. The celestial entities of the Marvel Universe also fell short. And now countless worlds, including Earth, have fallen. It seems the universe’s only hope is Doom.
