by David Annandale

The infamous Doctor Doom must face his deadliest enemy, the evil Red Skull, to save his people and himself in this thrilling Marvel: Untold novel

Victor Von Doom has many enemies, but he has a special loathing for the Red Skull. When the Red Skull creates a flying haven for the billionaire elite who share his deplorable values, Doom prepares himself for the worst. When Latveria is beset by a rash of terrorist attacks, his suspicions are confirmed: the Red Skull is coming for Doom’s homeland. Now he must infiltrate the shielded microstate drifting in the skies above Latveria to save his people from annihilation. But finding a way on board the floating city is just the first in a series of trials that will test Doctor Doom to the limits of his beliefs, his strength and his powers.

Book Summary:

We often hear the stories of villains versus superheroes. But what happens when two infamous villains clash?

Victor Von Doom is many things. As such, he has many enemies. And he tends to make new ones with every move. Believe it or not, one of his biggest enemies is the Red Skull. They often clash with their core values. Yet we all know that Doom will stop at nothing to secure Latveria.

My Review:

Ohhh. Give me a fight between Victor Von Doom and the Red Skull any day of the week. The Tyrant Skies is the Marvel book I never knew I needed, but now I can't live without it. Give. Me. More.

If you love Doctor Doom, you'll probably love this book (and his trilogy). David Annandale does a great job of capturing the character here, and his portrayal does Doom justice. But that's just one Marvel fan-girl talking.

Honestly, I don't think I've read a story that humanized Doctor Doom so well, and I loved Infamous Iron Man, so I believe that is saying something! It felt profound at times but in all the good ways.

Also, it was simply good fun to watch Doom go up against Red Skull. Seeing their plotting turned toward another villain was a blast.
