THE DOOM OF ALL DOOMS!
All we know about the leader of the new Multiversal Masters of Evil is that he calls himself Doom Supreme and that universe after universe keeps crumbling before him. But in a multiverse filled with world-conquering versions of Victor Von Doom, what makes this one the Doom Above All?

COMICON - Olly MacNamee
May 09, 2022The Doom of all Dooms takes centre stage in 'Avengers Forever' #5 as he waxes lyrical like the best megalomaniacs about his plans for… well, multi-universal domination. Jason Aaron continues to go large on this title with high concepts and high stakes. And, putting a good deal of fun back into comics while he's at it. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
May 09, 2022Aaron's story keeps raising the universal stakes, striking a balance between intensifying the experience while never *quite* going overboard, with strong art to hold it all together. I like what this book is doing. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
May 04, 2022Avengers Forever #5promises to reveal more about the origin of Doom Supreme but barely scratches his surface. Hopefully, future issues will delve more into what makes the other Masters of Evil tick or what their end game is; the concept of traveling the multiverse can only take you so far. Read Full Review

May 04, 2022I feel like this is a little underwhelming of a "multiversal big bad" concept, but I feel like Avengers Forever in general works better if you don't think about things beyond face value. Read Full Review

This issue is meant to build up the Doom Above All, and it succeeds. It's really fun multiversal shenanigans. I don't read this book for its depth. If you do try that, you'll be disappointed. Aaron is capable of delivering in that regard, but it has not yet been presented in this series.

It is what it is. Dumb fun book that's trying to be serious but the depth isn't there. Towe did much better here and that's because I don't have to see any faces so the guy can draw some nice Dooms.

Well, this is a hell of a wind-up; it's a pity the resulting pitch is a somewhat-disappointing slow lob. Doom Supreme is revealed to have an awesome modus operandi -- but for motivation, all he gets is a vaguely-foreshadowed retread of the usual "only I can save the world, and I can't be bothered to tell you why" stuff Doom's been doing for decades. Even if it finishes with a bit of a letdown, it's still a fun interlude -- well-drawn and featuring plenty of meaty scenery-chewing monologuing -- in the sprawling, ridiculously uneven landscape of Aaron's Avengers.

It was entertaining but, like this series in general, it lacks substance. For now I am ok with that. It's just dumb fun.
