This one is especially for peeps who don't normally read comics or who are wondering who this "Doom" guy is I keep pretending to be. Here's pretty much a free issue scanned out for you, stand alone. Give it a go and lemme know what you think. I posted this already to the "scans_daily" community, so I thought I'd put it up here as well.
These are scans from Fantastic Four #496, written by Mark Waid, penciled by Mike Wieringo and inked by Karl Kesel, the prologue to the "Unthinkable" story arc. Waid's depiction of Doom was the source of much controversy in the comic world, with fans arguing back and forth if it was out of character and whatnot. So judge for yourself.
As Waid wrote in the book's introduction: "Victor von Doom is the ruler of Latveria, a small but powerful Balkan nation. For years, Doom has brought his scientific and technological genius to bear against the Fntastic Four in a contnual bid for world domination...



Doom says that it is here, in this small town of frauds and so-called "seers" that Valeria's trail ends. For those not familiar with who this Valeria is and what she is to Doom, Waid fills us in...




The latest seer turns out to be real, and she tells Doom where Valeria is living. The lovers are reunited...








Now the flesh armor looks a bit silly, especially in comparison to the awesome metal armor, but regardless that's pretty f****d up right there. Your thoughts?
