Forever my favorite character 😂 anybody can step up to bat and Doom will swing and do it in a smooth way. God-King Doom is by far the coolest looking character design imo.
I don't know that Doom is ultimately bad. He has his own morality and code of honor. And gods themselves acknowledge that Doom should rule the Earth for the greater good...
@@saadamehdi2848 Well, Marvel mostly has him be the "bad guy". Also he does the bad things for what only he thinks is good, whereas an anti-hero does the bad things for what everyone can agree on as being good.
Doom was either a comically written Villian, or an anti-villian back in the day. Now in recent decades, doom is either a schemer, but a true bad guy acting as a good guy, or hes an anti-hero in the most loose of senses. Unless you invoke anything involving Latveria. Then doom genuinely is a good guy in the context of Latveria, but everyone else? Nah. Hes still a bad guy unless there is something to gain. And marvel is pretty tongue in cheek about that now
This is hands down my favorite comic story ever and I'm so glad youre breaking it down because I feel its always overlooked when peeple talk about great comic book narratives. Especially with Doom being in the spotlight so much rn (fortnite and the mcu) its a fantastic story for people who want a look into Doom as a character. Plus Doc Strange crossovers are always fun lol
I've just finished reading this story a day or two ago. It's an amazing read! Well written with impeccably drawn fight scenes. This story needs to be adapted somehow to the MCU.
I can genuinely hear the pain in your voice. Sorry if that sounds rude or anything. My best friend had his life taken in a horrible, sudden drunk driving accident and I guess I judt recognize that voice. The before and after... i am....i was... the exact same way.. Its like a part of you dies with them. People say the same ol quotes and sure time does make it a bit easier but man. I hate that this life is so limited. There is just so so much to explore. To learn. So much we could all be doing together but there is just so much pointless death and hopelessness everywhere. I see empaths just being beaten down into the dirt and it tears my heart out of my chest. I genuinely care about others being in pain and maybe that makes me a fool but id rather live in a world that give hugs instead of punches. Im so sorry you had to experience that pain and that you now carry this weight. I cant say it will get easier or go away... but i CAN say you will see him again and it will all even out eventually. Just the curse of mortality I suppose....or what we are led to believe anyway. Much love brother
I remember reading this comic when it came out. I'm 72 and I've been a fan pretty much all my life. I remember buying Fantastic Four 1 when it first came out - I was about 11 years old. I couldn't afford all the comics, but I used to read them at the drug store. I'd hide behind the rack and spend an hour reading the ones I couldn't buy. The druggist was pretty cool; he probably read them himself. Anyway, this was an epic story and you do an excellent job recapitulating the storyline. Your enthusiasm is infectious. My memory isn't the best, but I seem to recall Mephisto's power vacillating at different periods in the Marvel multiverse. I seem to recall him losing to some other characters who weren't as powerful Doctors Strange and Doom, but perhaps that is only because he fought outside of his own realm.
That bit you did about Doom and compared him to Black Panther and Namor reminded me of a quote from Maximus: "You're used to dealing with heroes... But what you don't have much experience with is kings. And that's your problem here. You can't think of them as normal men. You can't even think of them as behaving human--that's thinking too small... They are larger than that, bigger than that... They exist above other men because they were born that way. Authority began at the cradle, you see. Their very idea of morality is different than what you are used to. The people--their people--expect them to do violence to ensure a certain amount of peace and prosperity. And like gods, they are also expected to commit murder... So the people can sleep at night knowing they are protected. "
mephisto: you can't "defeat" me with your stupid loopholes, I am the lord of loopholes! mephisto 7 loopholes later: GOD YOU GUYS ARE ANNOYING, JUST FUCKING GO ALREADY!!!
Rob all I can say is YES!!! I just recently bought a Used TPB as for a while was thinking about it for a while went to my local Comic shop and found that in the Doom Section snagged it and after all these years later it still slaps!
3:13 ....damn.... son son son son.... If Dr. Doom is willing to drop ANY type of advantage to prove his worth as a TRUE Magical Master....then....YALLMUTHAFUJASBETTAWACHOUT!!!!!!
Usually a comic book reviewing UA-camr with more than a million subscribers that is verified or not won’t necessarily respond to requests & replies to comments.
Doom has always been with the Smoke for any villain or hero that’s in his path; and I respect it.
Facts he's an asshole but equal hands fair asshole

This is my favorite Dr Doom story. It's a masterpiece. A live adaptation of this story would be incredible.
'YOU EVER DANCE WITH THE DEVIL UNDER THE PALE MOONLIGHT??' ..
'WE DID' - DR STRANGE & DR DOOM
YOU EVER DANCE WITH THE DEVIL UNDER THE PALE MOONLIGHT??
"WHAT?" - joker to batman
"And they say I'm crazy..." - The J-man
Mephisto...the ultimate loan shark...he thinks he's Rent a center..😂
He ain't got nothing on Dormammu😂😂
@@ashleybanks-wm4cg
Or Chthon..👿. When it comes to evil..he's that dude.
This mfer really Marvels equivalent to a payday loan center 😅
He's no match for Mr. Ditkovich
Lol facts
FINALLY you cover this story! Been waiting for this one, super sick.
Doom and Strange in a Comivs Explained vid? Say no more, I am in.
I love Comivs Explained.
Ong know this whole story but doesn’t matter robs the best ❤
Just a few adjective named characters short of a full band.
Comvis is rob tapping into his x gene
Doctor Doom: "Prepare for trouble!"
Doctor Strange: "And make it double!"
Deadpool: “and make it triple!”
Double Dragon 😂😂😂 never thought I see that reference again.. cheers man😂😂🎉
Double Doctor
Gay
@@TheWarmachine375 Mephisto: wanna buy a timeshare..?
If an anti-hero is someone who sometimes does bad things but is ultimately good, I think it's fair to call Dr. Doom an anti-villain.
I don't know that Doom is ultimately bad. He has his own morality and code of honor. And gods themselves acknowledge that Doom should rule the Earth for the greater good...

I think Doom quite nicely embodies "True neutral". He does anything necessary to achieve what he deems important, regardless of good or bad.
Doom ain’t ultimately evil tho and sometimes does bad, he usually does bad but usually never has a bad motive he a power freak

Arguably Roger Sterns best work, he saved Dr.Doom as character with this story
26:53 strong Constantine vibes with that ending
Lucifer: *“…the self sacrifice!”*
I read that in Peter Stormares voice😅

You had me at Doctor!
“The stinking carcass of your failure at my door.” That’s cold!
This may be one if not the best DrStrange book of all time
Great timing. Just got started doing work and needed something awesome to listen to
Been always wanting Rob to cover this...Rob is so good at telling these stories.
Always love some Doctor Strange content. Hope you cover more of him and his adventures!
You kinda left out that Strange was required to help Doom as part of his victory conditions for winning the wizards contest.
This is the exact moment Dr. Doom becomes Doom Slayer.
That’s _Doctor_ Muthafuckin’ Doom Slayer! 😆
@@CorbCorbinmephisto true form looks like a kirby boss
😢 what an amazing story between these 2. Thank you Rob
I had this graphic novel. Great read! Amazing artwork.
I was afraid Mephisto was going to take 20 percent of my health while watching this
It was fun to see Stephen strange hold Dormammu captive!!
10:05 “Effectively killed” 😂
"Welcome to the Netherworld, let me show you around - give you the tour." - Mephisto
I’ve been saying for years that this NEEDS to be a movie. There is so much greatness in this short book.
22:53
"CRAZY!! yo strange yo seeing all this"
It's crazy how good this turned out!
Been waiting for this comic covered for years. Tyvm rob
Venturing into Mephisto's realm is basically like playing an action-roguelike with some CRPG elements.
The way you tell stories is unmatched!
Great video rob!
mephisto: you can't "defeat" me with your stupid loopholes, I am the lord of loopholes!
mephisto 7 loopholes later: GOD YOU GUYS ARE ANNOYING, JUST FUCKING GO ALREADY!!!
W videos, We're loving the Dr. Doom love!
What a ride of a story. Still an all-time fav ❤
2 mins baby! New record!
I have been waiting for this tbh
I swear, I don't click watch on any other video as much as I do for Rob🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Yeah I came on here for something else but I'm always gonna click Rob first 😂
@@andrewnavarro4769😊
The more I learn about Dr doom the more I love the character, he’s just THAT guy fr lmao
2:19
The Time stone being the "Eye of Agamoto"... Certainly merrrits being wildly powerful on a multiversal scale....
Roger Stern and Mike Mignola - masterwork graphic novel
Doom to Mephisto : it's time to take the overdue dept from my childhood archenemy
Id not read this story. That was awesome, cheers mate.
Sorceri xDDDD Damn Rob. Love you bro. You are the best thing since betty white (sliced bread game after betty white)
That was so good Rob
That Mephisto is like Satan the Devil from Hell!
Reminds me of an Adventure Time story about Ice King cheating at a wizard battle event by mixing magic with ninja moves. He was using ice nunchucks.
wth is with Strange's face at 4:40 lol
What? Haha Rob ur a funny guy. That's a great joke. U acting like anyone has watched Agatha All Along😂😂😂
Rob all I can say is YES!!! I just recently bought a Used TPB as for a while was thinking about it for a while went to my local Comic shop and found that in the Doom Section snagged it and after all these years later it still slaps!
A benevolent and skilled king that never died is the best form of government
Yesss!!! I’ve been waiting for this video to come out. Can’t find the comic anywhere aha
Doom wielding ilyana Rasputin soulsword in Excalibur trying to get his mother back is awesome
That was pretty fire
The video title is something I never thought I'd come across in my UA-cam notifications feed
Something else to add: Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy) worked on the art for this piece :-)
Yea definitely a great story
Great story! Hope they bring it to live action soon
*Mr Voss favourite character..... Mephistopheles!!*
3:13
....damn.... son son son son....
If Dr. Doom is willing to drop ANY type of advantage to prove his worth as a TRUE Magical Master....then....YALLMUTHAFUJASBETTAWACHOUT!!!!!!
Dr Strange did a John Constantine 😂 Brilliant.....
It was this story that made me truly love Dr. Doom. For even a man in armor still has a soul.
1:37 we'll go with that 😄
I love Aged Dingus
A hood Classic IMO
So now Mephisto can get a 2nd opinion.
Boris is like the chauffeurs from Trading Places lol
Thanks!
"Strange ! You must see this!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a Dr Doom move it’s all in the name that felt like some reality drama like an episode or something
TRIUMPH AND TORMENT. what a great story
*2 in a week?!*
Yassssss YAAASSSSS
One of my fav stories ever
12:05.
Yall better pay CLOSE ATTENTION.....💯
There is nigh any being that is more powerful than Mephisto within his own realm......PERIOD
Jean Grey scared Mephisto 2 years back in a comic story.
And I am wondering that it's taking two sorcerers to handle Mephisto? 🤯
Also this story is a good segway into the Doom Supreme event happening in November
YOOO TRIUMPH AND TORMENT. SOMEONE CALL SAL AND TIFF
8:18 Jesus said when he speaks a lie he speaks from his on resources... a liar and the father of lies.
I imagine Mephisto just like sitting down in his area with a Shark Tank type of setup so people just show up and he’s just listening to the pitch 😂
I hope they do this story in MCU. RDJ AND Dr strange together
J.D Wentworth of souls. It's my soul and I need it now!
24:29 Ah! Cthon dropped a call back to this line.
Victor’s mom has got it going on 🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorite Marvel comics!
“Aged Genghis” sounds like an expensive Mongolian beef steak
Triumph and torment? Finally ❤
Strange: i need to defeat this guy for the balance of humanity
Doom: he tried to scam me and i took that personally
Finally Rob made this video

Aged gingus was most funniest name in marvel 😂.
