I read somewhere that this is a 4-part miniseries... but in previews, or on Diamond or blah blah nothing has been mentioned about being a miniseries... I thought it was ongoing.

[Dr. Chaos]

So Sergei Kravenoff is there, this taking place in the past or just a fun non continuity romp through Marvel's rogue gallery?

Am I the only one not even close to being interested in this?

I am very interested in this.

It looks pretty funny.

I can't stomach a funny Doom.

I can't stomach a funny Doom.

If it's any consolation, I think I can guarantee you Dr. Doom isn't going to crack any jokes, he's probably just going to be cracking heads.

It's bascially a Marvel Adventures book anyway.... but it looks great.

True, thats basically what I was thinking it's going to feel like.

It's Marvel Adventures except now with 50% more Doom bitchslapping Spidey rogues into loyal submission.

:rolleyes: haha. Yeap yeap. I hope it's good though. and I wish i could figure out if its a miniseries or not!

Hmm?

Uhh...pretty sure it's a mini, dude.

Don't look for Doctor Doom or The Sinister Six to get a ongoing anytime soon.

[Iron Maiden]

Yes, it's a 4 parter and Marvel has the cover up for the fourth issue.

I can't stomach a funny Doom.

If it's any consolation, I think I can guarantee you Dr. Doom isn't going to crack any jokes, he's probably just going to be cracking heads.

I don't think this will be in continuity so it won't harm the Good Doctor's rep...especially since he pretty much wipes the floor with the entire Sinister Six just to get their attention.

I think Doom has a pretty unique standing among Marvel's villains in that the character does have a long tradition of being used in a humorous manner, going back to "Santa Doom", Doctor Bloom from the old Not Brand Echh or the pin up done by Jack Kirby in an FF Annual that shows him lurking around Yancy Street just to razz the Thing.

Besides, this mini-series is probably a better characterization of Doom than what Millar is attempting in the FF. I can't stand Hitch's cover for FF #566 that came out today with the image of Doom on his knees before his "Masters".

[stingerman]

I don't think its Marvel Adventures, just the artist did both (or some on doom masters of evil).

[Mr. Cakes]

I'm excited about this, it looks cute. Looks like Magneto (and maybe the Brotherhood or Acolytes) are the third "organization" mentioned in the interview. I would like to know where it stands in terms of continuity, though.

After seeing that preview, I'm with you. Didn't find it funny or compelling in the least.
