Some old-school Doom moments, courtesy of CSBG
The Comics Should Be Good blog at CBR has been doing a series on "meta-messages" in comics; issues where writers included scenes in response to something another creator did with the same characters (i.e., usually retconning or addressing what they saw as out-of-character moments).
Two of them have been Doom-focused so far: John Byrne responding to Chris Claremont letting Arcade disrespect Doom without consequences (possibly the first, and certainly the most famous, case of the "It was all a Doombot," retcon), and Dwayne McDuffie's response to Steve Englehart's infamous "Where's my money, honey?" issue of Hero For Hire (Englehart was a big one for rejecting the idea of Doom having an honour code and writing him indulging in every vice possible).
