Hey Kids! Remember the Doom comic?
Yeah, me neither. The folks at Doomworld sure do though!
Some time in 1996 a couple of guys got together and smoked what was apparently a large amount of crack and then injected pure heroin into their eyes and then proceeded to create what is now known only as ‘the Doom comic’.
Say those three words (in that order) to any Doomer and they’ll probably respond with one of the many taglines made famous by the comic. Throughout its sixteen pages of madness the main character (the Doomguy) utters many inane phrases while killing various hellspawn without so much as a second thought. Why he feels the need to talk to himself the entire time we’ll never know, but I’m guessing he was smoking what the authors of the book were.
With an intro like that, how can you not want to read it?

This is one of my favorite comics ever. It’s the best worst comic ever made, really. I can’t imagine it wasn’t this spectacularly awful by accident.

Wow. It was sorta like if you cast Jack Nicholson from “The Shining” in full whacked out mode as Ashley in “Army of Darkness.” …and then added crack.

Wow. The James Brown references were a surprise; he’s Superbad AND Papa’s got a Brand New Bag. I like how on page 9 it slips into Elvis’ “Burning Love” both in the captions and the ridiculous speech. That was either the worst thing I’ve ever seen or the best, I’m not sure yet.

He’s like a cross between Bruce Campbell and old school Bill Paxton. And EVERY line is a golden quote.

I’ve loved this comic for some time. Best part is when he goes into his little environmental awareness lecture.
