DOOMQUEST #1 |
|
MARVEL COMICS
(W) Ryan North (A) Francesco Mobili |
|
When Reed Richards, Doom's greatest enemy is
showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn't even
invited, Doom is outraged. Reed intends to go back in time, to all the eras
humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and
ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed
rewriting history in his own image is antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to
do it before Reed. |
