After growing the Latverian empire through bloodshed, Doom turns his attention to the potential apocalypse that is the black hole in Earth's orbit, as he's the only brilliant scientific mind left that has any chance of preventing catastrophe.

AIPT - David Brooke
Nov 25, 2020As the penultimate issue of Doctor Doom, the creative team has set up a finale where Dr. Doom might break bad (more so than usual), or go the route of savior hero. It's too early to say. Considering his headspace in this issue, it's an exciting moment for the character that has made the finale a must-read. Doctor Doom is a powerful portrait of a flawed perfectionist that is consistently engrossing. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Nov 25, 2020In this issue, Doctor Doom's plan for saving the world and redeeming himself goes awry thanks to self-sabotage. It's quintessentially in-character for the villain-turned-antihero. A cerebral script is handily supported by powerful art, allowing the book to dive deep into Doom's psyche while also telling an exciting super-science adventure story. Read Full Review

Nov 25, 2020Out of every chapter of Doctor Doom from this series, this issue offers the best, most convincing look yet at the hubris and deeply guarded uncertainty that plagues Doom. Read Full Review

If you don't like Doom talking himself into a giant fuck up over his deep insecurity, you're lost.

It was pretty solid. Im curious as to how they will end it. Doom seems to be at a big crossroads at the end of this issue.

Doom's save-the-world plan is undone merely by Reed Richards calling him up to wish him luck. Not only is it not a proud moment for Doom, it's a move that Reed really should know better than to pull. As for Doom, he's often been exactly this dumb and self-destructive in the past -- but this is his third straight swing at the "be no more a villain" pitch, and the previous two attempts (under Bendis and Zdarsky) felt a lot more thoughtful and creative than this one. Heck, even this one was better for its first six issues; the quality of the story has declined abruptly.
