Writer/artist Walt Simonson and inker Allen Milgrom then end years of confusion in ‘The More Things Change…! (Or… It’s the Real Thing…’ ( Fantastic Four #350, cover-dated March 1991) as Doom, Kristoff and countless rogue Doombots all battle to decide who’s the real deal: a conflict mirrored by two overlapping iterations of the FF also deciding – far less lethally – who will stay in the official line up. With treachery and betrayal everywhere, the tale concludes in Fantastic Four #352 (May 1991) as ‘No Time Like the Present! (Or… It Ain’t Funny How Time Slips Away!’ sees both clashes coincide as time itself is sundered and the bureaucratic myrmidons of the Time Variance Authority step in… Collects Marvel Graphic Novel: Cloak And Dagger – Predator And Prey, Strange Tales (1987) #7, Mutant Misadventures Of Cloak And Dagger #1-13, Cloak And Dagger (1990) #14-19.

Sadly, with the entire world an idealised clone of Switzerland, the Iron Despot is bored out of his mind…Despite some unfortunate slurs, Lee and Kirby paint the picture of a young Victor von Doom, who has already lost his mother – without knowing the true extent of her life – and soon loses his healer father as well, due to the ruling Baron of Latveria's rage regarding their own dying wife. Doom's journey in life eventually leads him to America, where he meets Reed and Ben for the first time, as well the accident that leads him to adopting his iconic armor. Meanwhile, the second story is another of his clashes with the Fantastic Four. Collects Doctor Strange (1968) #169-183, Avengers (1963) #61, Sub-Mariner (1968) #22, and Incredible Hulk (1968) #126. Also includes material from Strange Tales (1951) #147-168, Marvel Feature (1971) #1, and Not Brand Echh (1967) #13. Of course, Kristoff can't fully comprehend everything he's being told, and Doom's rage explodes after one such perceived insult. The cold, reflective metal of his mask is juxtaposed against the fear on the young boy's face, the emotion enhanced by Glynis Wein's hot colors. As much as Doom sees potential in his ward, as a future ruler and an opportunity for found family, Kristoff can't match him in terms of wanting to destroy the Fantastic Four. Represented here by Secret Wars #10-12 (February-April 1985), ‘Death to the Beyonder!’ sees Doom makes his move, using a hastily constructed device to absorb all the omnipotent instigator’s power, using the stolen energies to rebuild himself and declare the Secret War over with Doom the sole victor…

NO ONE RIVALS DOOM: Get Ready for THE BOOK OF DOOM OMNIBUS

This is primarily done via Doom spending time with a young boy called Kristoff, who has become the ruler's ward in the wake of the boy's mother dying, by introducing him to the equally necessary tasks of running calibrations on some Doombots and ruling on his people's disputes. "It is important to me that you know these things," he says to the child. We aren't privy to anything the citizens who have come to be heard have to say; instead the duo's relationship takes focus. Key to that revival was a reassessment and reappraisal of their greatest foe as seen in ‘Under her Skin’ (#67, inked by Karl Kesel) wherein Doom abandons his technological gifts and inclinations, rejecting them for overwhelming sorcerous might to humiliate and destroy his greatest rival. All he must do is sacrifice his greatest love and only hope of redemption…Books of Doom presented the origin of the not so good Doctor as expanded upon by the writer who created the Winter Soldier, Ed Brubaker. This book built upon the intense Lee and Kirby origin and repositioned Marvel’s greatest villain for a new century. In these magnificent issues by master Fantastic Four creator John Byrne, Doom reminded readers that above all things, he is a ruler. I’m impressed that Marvel didn’t just make this an FF collection. Even if the Fantastic Four — especially Reed Richards — tops his enemies list, he really makes life miserable for everyone.
