Brubaker also modernized Captain America and did the Winter Soldier arc iirc.

The Bendis/Brubaker runs on Daredevil are great reads. Unless you prefer having your superheroes being happy and living well.

Exactly what I would recommend. It's easily my favorite ongoing book right now, and I'm really hoping the miniseries is a lot closer in tone to that than the Brubaker/Rucka runs.

No he went insane with grief since Doom killed Ben, but he decided to go get him back. He ended up meeting God who looks like Jack Kirby.

Doom always used magic on occasion. However, in this storyline he tried to use magic to beat Richards :doom: and got the power by killing the only person he loved, and turned her skin into a suit

Doesn't Doom wear his mask because the devil burned his face when he tried to use magic to pull his witch mom out of hell? Or something like that?

Comics, man. They go for it.

Nah it's because he did some ill advised experiment in college, and Reed Richards told him not to do it, and it backfired and disfigured him. (I guess that could've been getting his mom out of hell, I think it changes) The severity of the disfigurement ranges depending on who's writing the book, from full blown Mel-Gibson-Man-Without-A-Face scarring to a tiny, tiny scar that he can't bear to see because he's so vain.

I prefer the tiny scars version. And then he makes the mask and puts it on before it's cooled and thus completely scars his entire face. That just fits Doom perfectly.

Yeah, Doom uses Valeria to do some devil magic and sends Franklin to Hell for some reason, then Franklin has PTSD for a while afterwards.

Last time I read Fantastic Four Franklin got kidnapped by his time traveling grandfather and returned in his 20s to form a FF spinoff team until one day grandpa randomly decided to switch out 20 something Frank with kid Frank again ending the bad comic book I had wasted money on.

Also a few years back when I found out they had another kid I looked it up on Wikipedia and as best as I can remember Valeria is the alternate reality daughter of Sue and Doom who is actually Sue's miscarried baby from this reality who Frank saved and transported into the womb of alternate reality Sue and then transported back into the womb of his Sue. I probably screwed this one up too because my head starts hurting when I read too much of a comic book Wikipedia entry.

I'll say it again. Comics, man.

I think the pilot was said to be good but no one wanted it. Which I keep hoping Sy Fy or Cinemax or some fringe network changes their mind on because I think that would make a great tv show.

I have no idea what Locke & Key is and I did the same thing when I first read it. A Key & Peele movie series would probably be worth watching, at least at first.
