This is a bold direction to take a company wide crossover in, but one that’s supported by the very real relationships between characters. And now, the facade of the god king is beginning to slip now that the accursed Richards is back to take everything from him.
He outthought the Illuminati and actually won.
While Doom’s ascension to the role of “main character of the Incursion storyline” seems rather sudden, it’s really just an extension of everything we saw in Doom from Hickman’s work on “New Avengers” and “Fantastic Four.” For the first time in possibly ever, Doom out smarted Reed Richards. If you don’t like either of those things though, I’m sorry but this comic is not for you and you are also incredibly wrong. That’s not the type of story you’d get in something like, oh, “Fear Itself.” “Secret Wars” is kind of the best comic ever for anyone who’s a fan of Doctor Doom and Jonathan Hickman writing Doom. What was expected to be a battle for all of reality has quickly turned into the story of one man doing what he can to protect the world he’s carved out for himself from those who would see it undone. The weirdest thing about “Secret Wars” is how, despite the multiversal explosions and zombie Ultrons or whatever, it’s probably one of the more personal crossovers in a while.
