In 1989 Marvel let Roger Stern and Mike Mignola make a graphic novel about Doctor Doom rescuing his mother's soul from Hell. It's still the best Doom story anyone has written.
Doom wins a contest of sorcerers, which entitles him to a favor from the winner of the last one — Doctor Strange. He spends it going into Mephisto's realm to free Cynthia von Doom.
Andy, Chad, and Mikey read it and get into why Doom works better as a tragic figure than a conqueror, what Mignola was doing with light and shadow years before Hellboy, and whether this is the book to hand someone who only knows Doom from the movies.
Plus we're joined by a special spooky guest from "beyond the grave" to look ahead to Avengers: Doomsday, in theaters December 18. Curious? You gotta listen to this one to find out...
NEXT ON THE READING LIST: Magik: Storm and Illyana by Chris Claremont, John Buscema, & more.
