Who is Victor Von Doom? What inspired him to want to take over the country of Latveria, and for that matter, the world? (Even if only the former was successful, at least as of this writing). Why does he hate Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four?
âFantastic Four: Books of Doomâ is the best kind of reboot â one that clarifies the past (in some cases, revising the past BUT with explanation as to why previously âknownâ history was wrong), one that fleshes out events only hinted at in earlier tales. Told in the form of a documentary, interviewing Von Doom himself and some of those who knew him in his earlier days, this graphic novel is one that did NOT waste my time in the reading. Further, unlike some comic reprints that simply grab a few issues and bundle under one cover without regard as to whether they relate a completed story or not, this graphic novel has a clear beginning, middle, and ending.
Superheroes? They play an extremely small role in this book â this is about Victor Von Doom, and the man does not like to share his spot in the limelight with anyone!
My recommendation â if you have ANY interest in superheroes or supervillians, whether Marvel or otherwise, read this graphic novel.
RATING: 5 stars.
