Books of Doom #3

The third chapter of Ed Brubaker's six-part examination of Victor Von Doom arrives with a quietly striking Paolo Rivera cover: an armored, green-cloaked Doctor Doom looms low over a stone battlement, his masked face glowing faintly from within as castle towers burn in the twilight behind him. It's a moody, painterly image that captures Doom as both brooding sovereign and something almost solitary — more introspective than triumphant. With art by Pablo Raimondi inside, this 2006 limited series continues its compelling deep-dive into one of Marvel's most complex figures.
