That's fine and good, but considering what Brubaker was doing on Captain America while this mini-series was being released, the end result is a little disappointing.

Told in the form of a documentary, interviewing Von Doom himself and some of those who knew him in his earlier days, this graphic novel is one that did NOT waste my time in the reading. He created weapons that he used to defend the gypsies from the Baron's men, and became the leader of the gypsy clan at age 16.Truly a disquieting experience as you read on through Ed Brubaker's words as he puts color into one of the most mysterious characters in comics. Ed Brubaker schaffte es der altbekannten Entstehunggeschichte neue Aspekte abzugewinnen und neue Details hinzuzufügen. it seems like he borrows a lot from the Byrne run and the Roger Stern graphic novel where Doom and Doctor Strange try to rescue Doom's mother's soul from a demon.

Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is Brubaker or editorial, this was a missed opportunity to add depth to the character. Like most Marvel villains Doom is complex and isn’t inherently evil he’s doing what he thinks is best, he’s not nearly as sympathetic as a character like Magneto but he’s not pure evil like the Red Skull. The atrocities of the Baron, the death of Von Doom's mother, his relationship with Valeria - all explored very well.
