The Doom Comic: RIP AND TEAR!

Quite possibly the worst spinoff comic book ever. Certainly one of the funniest.

He doesn’t have a single tear rolling down his cheek. He does, however, call a chainsaw the “Great Communicator”.

He needed to communicate his need for a gun.

When I first saw this comic lampooned online, I couldn’t help but think that it was intentionally written to be completely brainless to poke fun at the idea of assigning character attributes to the Doom marine in an attempt to tell a story in the first place, so they purposefully made it as inane as possible by making the majority of his dialog into him repeating “I need a BIGGER GUN” and “You’re DEAD!” no less than fifty times within just sixteen pages. I think the whole idea was to lampoon the notion of Doom actually having a character-driven story at all.

anamnesis: That’s quite possible. I still think it’s hilarious.
