Too much sorcery and a rather exploitative "child in jeopardy" subplot. Doom stories tend to be better when the mysticism is kept to a minimum and it's just Doom versus Reed Richards in a battle of scientific and tactical wits. That was what saved the story arc, Reed's decision to destroy Doom's home base and how he started to become more and more <I>like</I> Doom as he took over Doom's country. Then they had to go and ruin it by "killing" Ben, leading to a rather questionable storyline in which the FF go to heaven.Orachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370846202152605202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1116359069658879292005-05-17T12:44:00.000-07:002005-05-17T12:44:00.000-07:00"Dr. Doom is such a genius, he built a robot that ..."Dr. Doom is such a genius, he built a robot that can cry."<BR/><BR/>Worst appearance ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1116358875362789672005-05-17T12:41:00.000-07:002005-05-17T12:41:00.000-07:00Dr. Doom is such a genius, he built a robot that c...Dr. Doom is such a genius, he built a robot that can cry.
