Ah, so maybe it's just that you don't have a sense of magic...
(Please don't make me have to put a 'smiley' on this post.)

I don't see what the big deal is JB...
Clearly this is one of the DOOM-BOTs acting on its own...
Pretty soon the real Doctor Doom will make his entrance and all shall fear his might hand of justice and fairnesseses...

But I like smileys, Al.
Now, I understand how a sense of mystery can add to a story. I also do understand that some things that would be considered "grotesque" are better left to the imagination which does tend to produce far more dramatic results.
I just don't get how this single ugly figure (out of all of the different ones that have been produced over the years) is the signal that Marvel is finally dead. Its a crappy statue. I don't think you are going to see people lining up to buy it. Sure, some will be sold. But, in the end, this still has no effect on the comic itself.

Sorry Joe! I thought "the big deal" that you couldn't see was why so many
people were upset that they'd shown Doom's scarred face, not that doing so
was the final nail in the Marvel coffin. (I should make sure I double check
the original post and the thread title from time to time...). Cool.

I'll stick with this:
Now that's Dr. Doom.

This is such a bad idea.
I can't even put it into words.

The neat thing about Doom's masked face was that it made us readers use our imaginations in a fun way. Same with Wolverine's secretive origin. Some of the many things we've lost (for good?) thanks to the current editorial regime. Also, for those who would blame the owners and business managers of Marvel, let me remind them that Stan Lee did not run Marvel without pressures for profit.

No, but Stan did know the value of "never give the fans what they think they
want"...

Uh, that's a Doom bust? Looks like a Go-Bot with the mask on and Freddy Krueger with the mask off.

I wonder who approves design issues like that, too. It would be kind of poetic if things began to turn like the automotive industry. The Honda Comic Groups would move in and Toyota would take over with Japan-Man or something. Then we'd be in trouble! The comics forums would have to go bilingual.

Pretty much in agreement with you here, Joe.
