First look at the new Doctor Doom series

[nomadicwriter]

Marvel.com has an interview with Christopher Cantwell and some unlettered preview pages from Doctor Doom #1 here. Thanks to ladyvictorious for the link!

Encouraging to see Cantwell namecheck a bunch of classic Doom stories like Triumph and Torment in there, though there's less hint whether we're going to see much in the way of direct follow-up to the Secret Wars/Infamous Iron Man arc. But the stuff he's saying about his take on Doom certainly sounds promising.

This sounds like it's going to be good!

It’s almost like he’s drawing this story in gothic Latverian stained glass. I am happy to go in and revise my scripts to fit Salva’s art even better, and let his work lead the way.

I like the notion of a real interplay between the art and the story.

It does! Definitely sounds like Cantwell's done plenty of background reading and has a good take on Doom's character. And hopefully him being quite engaged with the art will mean Larroca will bring his A-game, because he did draw some great Doctor Doom stuff back around 2000 before he started doing the heavily traced and photo-referenced style of his Iron Man run. So far the preview pages look quite promising!
