WEEK OF DOOM: The Editor of DOOM!
Greetings True Believers! This is one of the most amusing things I've ever read. It's a back-up tale from Fantastic Four #358, "The Official Story" It's a tale of History, lies, the nature of truth and Doombots. It's also a ironic-poking fun look at comic book continuity and the role of different writers on the same character.

Enjoy, THE RET-CONS OF DOOM!!

This story also contains a character I wish we had seen more of, the Editor. Any one know if he had any more appearances?

Ha! This is a great Doom story and Doom isn't even the main character. Ahh, Doombots.

A catch-all answer to the big questions in the Marvel Universe? "It was a Doombot."

	Forgive me, but you've NEVER heard of Art Adams before? Longshot? New Mutants Special Edition? Asgard Saga X-Annuals? THAT Art Adams? Boy howdy, are you in for a treat when you go looking for his stuff then! :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry, forgive the surprise, but he's been an internationally acclaimed artist for something like 25 years now, working mostly with Marvel, but also some DC work, and a deal of ABC too ("Jonni Future" was usually him as I recall) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	...So, according to this, the cake was a lie? That's how advanced Doom's tech is. He played Portal decades before it ever came out. For he is DOOM. (Reply to this) (Thread)
