Previous thread: >>> Last time we met, we saw the origin of Doom as well as the introduction of Boris, Latveria and Doom's gypsy background in FF Annual 2. Now that the origin is out of the way, here's the rest of Annual.
Storytime of Doom 2: Electric BAH!galoo
Mason Thomas
Carter Phillips
Tyler Powell
Neat.
Logan Long
Brayden Moore
>I like not the look of you
Rama Tut confirmed an anti-Robotite.
Ayden Parker
....or is he possibly a self-hating Anti-Robotite?
Yeah, try and wrap your head around it.
Dylan Evans
Matthew Walker
Logan Smith
YAY! Silver Age Lee and Kirby (comes running to couch as if a movie is starting)
Ayden Clark
Stan wasted no time establishing Doom's diplomatic immunity here, compare to what we saw in issue 17.
Jaxson Nelson
Leo Evans
This is seriously one of my favorite Kirby pages. Just look at the wall and ceiling details.
Nolan Nguyen
This never semed too plausible to me. I mean, they could have compared fingerprints if they really thought they were the same individual. I wonder who came up with the idea, Lee or Kirby?
Wish we had the art to see any possible margin notes, oh well....
Cooper Collins
Christopher Evans
Second panel! The art and the dialogue work perfectly together. When Lee and Kirby clicked, they were like Lennon and McCartney
Eli Gonzalez
Ben likes 'em big. What would Alicia (and Dorrie) say?
Jonathan Gray
There's that "Bah!" we were waiting for
Grayson Wright
Ben's flirtation here becomes funnier if you read that woman's voice as Margaret Dumont from the Marx Brothers.
Josiah Hall
Benjamin King
It's a trivial petty little detail but I wish the FF had kept the wide black collars on their shirts. It just looked cooler
Jaxon Cox
Parker Gray
One thing I notice about Kirby art is that he usually sets a scene in detail and then after that only suggests the backgrounds. It works pretty well.
Ryan Hill
The colorist here has given Doom a full head of hair. In the first reprint I saw of this, it was given flesh color, implying the hair left was just strands on a mostly bald head.
Ian Rogers
Very good layout in the wide middle as the four converge from different directions.
Nathaniel Campbell
>merely a female
Jason Edwards
Eli Lewis
PANEL FIVE.Was that supposed to be Reed? Sue was mad at HIM, not Johnny. I wonder if Stan misunderstood the art or what?
John Perez
Sebastian Scott
Definitely, since we see him flaming on in the next.
Noah Perez
My all time favorite Dr Doom sequence. So tragic and melodramatic in a good way. And his anguish wrecks his elaborate scheme.
Kayden Jones
Nicholas Barnes
Brayden White
While Doom hasn't yet started blaming Reed, this and issue 10 are what really establishes how personal it is between them.
Christopher Lewis
Hah hah, Reed is outvoted. Nyah. I like Johnny's wisecrack in the first panel. Torch and Thing roughhoused so much this fight was nothing out of the ordinary for them.
Wyatt Edwards
Joseph Green
Owen Cook
I remember that about the coloring too. The back of Doom's head was always kind of ratty and hairless.
Ethan Jenkins
The jolt between the second and third panels as we wonder what happened.
Jaxson Parker
I was originally going to post the Torch & Thing's second solo battle against The Terrible Trio for my bonus, but for some reason the scans come up blank when I saved them. So, for some context to this mind-screw , heeeere's Rama-Tut!
I'm not going to cover his Kang appearances though.
Luke Hernandez
Adam Evans
Ethan Allen
Blake Perry
I don't know if she ever did it, but I always want Sue to make bad guys walk into doors she made invisible or trip over invisible benches, stuff like that.
