But Which Doom's Day?
| < previous | next > |
I'm obviously really excited to see how this all works out, and even more thrilled to see that the next Avengers movie has been re-titled "Avengers: Doomsday" as it raises the question of which version of Doomsday is going to be adapted. Everyone seems to think it's going to be the classic storyline that began in Fantastic Four #59 where Doom steals the power cosmic from the Silver Surfer - and that seems possible, as they've already cast Julia Garner as an MCU Surfer - but there's plenty of other choices.
For example, there's the amazing/awful Dr. Doom's Day in the Marvel Superheroes cartoon series, the hilarious Day Of Doom in Spider Super Stories, or John Byrne's Three Against Doomsday in FF #259. There's even a ready-made novelisation, written by none other than Marv Wolfman!
I have a sneaking suspicion that they'll just use the title - it's a great title! - and do something more in line with the second version of "Secret Wars", but whichever they choose I am VERY excited to see it, not least because it means that people will FINALLY know who I've been going on about for all these years!

The Marvel Doomsday novelization (1981) was my first formal introduction to Doom as a real character as opposed to the Filmation Animation baddie. Marv knocked it out of the ballpark! Would be an awesome choice for a project.
