Doom #1 (Marvel Comics, 2000)

Doom #1 kicks off a limited 3-issue mini-series written by legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont, focusing on Victor Von Doom's complex duality—tyrant, sorcerer, scientist, and sovereign.

Set in the politically charged nation of Latveria, this issue explores Doom’s internal struggle between domination and destiny, as he faces both human rebellion and mystical threats.

The cover is a dramatic close-up of Doom’s eyes—burning with controlled fury—setting the tone for a cerebral, high-stakes story. A must-read for fans of morally gray villains and power politics.
