Collects Doctor Doom (2019) #6-10. Eternal reign! After uncovering the Symkarian plot against him, Doctor Doom seeks an "insurance policy" that will ensure his rule over Latveria - forever! But before waging a one-man war on those who usurped his throne, he must embark on a deadly covert mission to find a secret and powerful device - with unlikely ally Kang the Conqueror! Meanwhile, the black hole on the moon is growing critical, and Doom's brilliant mind may be the only thing that can stop a catastrophe that will wreak havoc through the entire solar system. But when disaster strikes, he finds himself on an Earth he recognizes only from dreams and visions. One where a very different Victor Von Doom is the benevolent savior and leader of humanity. Will Doom heed the lessons of this better world in order to save his own?

Reviews

It was okay. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. There was some parts that felt rushed, where they were telling a lot of information, but not really showing it.

There's a lot of stories in the Superhero world, where they keep the status quo for certain characters, this was one of them. I wasn't expecting Doctor Doom to emerge a hero, he has too big of an ego to change, but I wouldn't mind a little growth of character. I don't think this one had any, it just reset to same old Victor at the end. Maybe I'm a little jaded because I've seen it too much lately in other comics, where everything goes back to being the same after the author is done.

The art was great.

This one isn't terrible, if you want to read it. It was a fun ride, just nothing new.
