A thought this was fun. Dr. Doom finally wins by brainwashing the world. Wonder Man wakes up from an experiment 30 days later to find the whole world has changed and he's the only one not under control. It's up to him to figure out what to do. I like that even though Doom has won, it's something of a loss for him as well, as there's no longer anyone to challenge him. That ending was great too.

Still one of best Marvel stories about Dr Doom's psychology and the ending was just great. Why to become emperor of the world just to get bored and without challenges makin you feel alive? I forgot once a time Doom already ruled the world from White House before Ellis' Doom 2099 cyberpunk saga, glad having re-read this one after years.

Decent art and Doom proving once again why he is comic' greatest villain, because he genuinely believes that the World would be a better place under his control, and this story proves him right, to a degree, which raises some interesting questions as to where humanity was in the late 80s, although some of it is still relevant today.

A very interesting story, one that not only focuses on some individual Avengers, but that gives us some great insight into Dr. Doom. I've always loved the ending of this one.

This was my absolute favorite graphic novel growing up, one I read countless times, and I recently got a new copy. It still holds up. It's the most philosophically interesting story in comics, one that ponders the relative importance of free will. It's a story I honestly think everyone should read.

This graphic novel has a great premise: Doom taking over the world. It also deals with it somewhat well, with him ultimately being discontent. I even like the setup of Simon being the hero after he emerges from 30 days in a sensory deprivation tank. Unfortunately, the story doesn't go much deeper than that. The problem is dealt with in a relatively perfunctory way when all the pieces come together [6/10].

Los años 80 fueron una época de grandes cambios y replanteos para el cómic estadounidense. A los experimentos narrativos, temáticos, estéticos y hasta empresariales se sumó el de los formatos, que hasta el momento prácticamente se limitaban a los clásicos “comic-books” en grapas, alguna recopilación esporádica y poco más. Fue en el año 1982 que Marvel dio inicio a su colección Marvel Graphic Novels, comenzando con hoy clásica La muerte del Capitán Marvel (The Death of Captain Marvel). Esta colec...

The thing about this comic book is that it is not just a typical superhero vs. supervillain story, but also a commentary on free will and freedom. Obviously, not as great as other famous works of literature that discuss the same topics, but still makes you wonder about a what if? scenario at the end.

This was first published in 1987 so I probably bought my copy shortly after. I have read this several times over the years but would not have recorded reading it as I would have considered it to be a comic.David Michelinie was one of Marvel's better writers at the time so even though this is a tale of Doom taking over the world and how the Avengers defeat him Michelinie does add a few lines that may make people think about the way the world is.

There's not a whole lot to be said about this (rather short) global conquest of Dr. Doom. The writing is of the typical sort for a comic written twenty years ago (e.g., characters explain what they're doing way too often, etc.), and the only character who's even worth reading about in this volume is the doctor himself. Everyone else just punches and kicks and really makes no decision other than the obvious one: "We have to stop evil, because it's evil!"Well, okay--to be fair, there is one minor

A classic Avengers story that shows the true colors of Doctor Doom-a super villain hellbent on fixing the world at any price. As Doctor Doom takes total control of the world, the Avengers fight to dethrone him so that the world can come back to its "normal" state. But who is the true villain here?

doctor doom does not fail

This is an ambitious attempt at taking a somewhat more mature stab at how some of the realities of people with superpowers might actually work. Unfortunately, it’s still inexorably tied to the superhero genre and too many of the cliches are too entrenched in the narrative to make it work as powerfully as it might have been. Still, the premise is an interesting one, and the author handles the concept adequately enough.

Reseña de Sergio Benítez para Fancueva:http://www.fancueva.com/comic/mgn-los...Sobre la figura de Jim Shooter se han escrito páginas y páginas tanto de críticas como de alabanzas. Su labor como editor Marvel allá por los setenta siempre ha sido tomada como ejemplo y es que sus decisiones no dejaban indiferente a nadie. Una de las que más se ha llegado a celebrarse con el paso del tiempo fue el nacimiento del formato de novela gráfica, un proyecto que veía la luz con la intención de dar a los aut...

It's pretty good. Dr. Doom devises a method of global mind control, and gets himself unanimously elected Emperor of Earth. When the Avengers figure out what has happened, they realize Doom has converted the world to a Utopia, but at the cost of free will. I wish the moral questions were wrestled with more deeply and thoughtfully, but it's an entertaining story.

This graphic novel seems inspired by the old idiom about dogs who chase cars and what would they do once they caught them. In it, Doctor Doom uses the powers of an unwilling Purple Man to achieve his long-sought goal of conquering the world. Yet with the world literally bowing before him, Doom soon finds that conquering the world is a lot more stimulating than running it. And when a group of Avengers challenge his dominance, Doom finds himself facing a most unusual dilemma . . .One of the limita...

Emperador Muerte es una historia con un planteo interesante, relativamente jugado y algo pretencioso que juega con la noción de una utopía producto de las maquinaciones de un "tirano", y en la que parece que el único camino que tienen los "héroes" para combatirla es haciendo el mal, o al menos haciendo que vuelva.Me gustaron bastante las preguntas que plantea este cómic (y que se plantean los personajes entre sí), pero no tanto las respuestas que da (y menos todavía las que dan los personajes).

Not the story that you would think it would be when Doom achieves absolute power In this graphic novel, the previously unthinkable happens, Dr. Doom manages to manipulate the minds of people to get himself declared as ruler of all of planet Earth. As a consequence, he becomes a manager of the most routine order, at one point an aide walks up to him and says, “You’re due at that briefing on farm subsidy revisions in Pruszkow.” The super villain mad scientist Dr. Doom turned into a bureaucratic po...

Super short but a lot of fun for old school comics fans. Dr. Doom has always been one of my favorites. The epitome of the egomanical villain, he actually succeeds (briefly) in taking over the world and remakes it in his image. Hilarious and campy.

Una storia buona, incentrata principalmente su Dr. Doom e sul suo desiderio di conquista e dominio del mondo. Alla bse della storia che la concezione che Destino ha di se come miglior governante possibile del pianeta, e lo dimostra anche quando riesce a piegare la volontà di quasi tutti gli esseri senzienti della Terra. Ma scopre che ciò non lo soddisfa, bensì lo riduce a un burocrate. Qui davvero comprende che la vera soddisfazione l'avrà quando il mondo si rivolgerà a lui per esserne governato...
