Read this cuz it’s a classic in the Iron Man mythos, and the Shellhead himself is hugely shadowed by King Arthur in future storylines. And it didn’t fail to entertain. It’s an absolute cheesefest of time travel and Arthuriana. Doom and Tony, tumbling mid-fight into the past (and later, future), realizing “shit, we’re in Camelot!” But I lost it when the Lady of the Lake (previously buried under a parking lot) gave up Excalibur and Merlin sends her off with a “thanks, babe.” Bless urban fantasy, i...
Well, it was pretty fun .. Following Iron Man and Victor von Doom timetraveling to the time(s) of King Arthur ... Good times ^^
Unbelievably putrid. Over and over I sat in stunned amazement, asking myself "Did they really publish stuff this bad back in 1981?"There are two kinds of stories in comics. One tries to say something meaningful, or at least to present some sort of concept that the reader can be entertained by. The other is the visual equivalent of two three-year-olds trying to one-up each other. "My hero is a million times stronger than yours!" "Oh yeah? Well MY hero is a JILLION times stronger!" Over and over a...
typical of 80s comics (cornball dialogue) but a good read!
I feel like this could have been longer and established itself more properly. As it is, it's just two largely unconnected wacky wayside trips.
This book collects two separate time-traveling adventures involving Iron Man and Doctor Doom. The first series (from 1981) sends the two back to mythical Camelot where they must deal with the likes of King Arthur and Morgana Le Fay in order to find a way home. The second story has them jumping forward to the far-flung future of 2093, where they find they have been called into service of a young reincarnated Arthur by a reawakened Merlin in order to solve...a non-magical crisis. The stories are c...
Fun combination of super heroes and sword and sorcery. Makes me want to play some D&D! It doesn't take itself too seriously.
This set of stories was pure joy. Pure cheese. Watching Doom be himself--i.e., a big ol' meany face--is always a joy. There are splashes of inspired philosophy scattered about, and a few critiques on Contemporary Society (but, C.S. in the early '80s, so, you know, maybe not the most biting of appraisals), but mostly it just two armored dudes beating the crap outta each other, random baddies, and Earth's mystical timeline. Come for the Doom; stay for the Doom. Ironman's in here too, and he's okay...
Doomquest is a rather basic comic, but its interesting component comes from the juxtaposition between Fantasy Camelot and Science Camelot. The characters of Doom and Iron Man are interesting, especially in how they interact with others. The art is nice as well.
Iron Man. Dr. Doom. How is it that these two classic Marvel characters didn't go head-to-head more than a handful of times over the years? Their run-ins in the ongoing Iron Man series were few and far between, but were memorable enough to warrant this deluxe hardcover collection, titled Doomquest.The story for the first half of the book is the better of the two. It features Iron Man and Dr. Doom being transported back to Camelot and cast in the conflict between King Arthur and Morgana Le Fay. It...
Oh my God, this is amazing. Among other things, Tony and Doctor Doom go to future Camelot where Merlin takes them to a mall so Tony can buy parts for his suit from Radio Shack. Yes, really. It's glorious.They also go to Camelot of the past, and Doom and Morgana Le Fay bring zombies. Like you do.How can you not think this is the best thing ever? It is the best thing ever.(Also I now understand that page of The Confession -- you know, the Civil War issue where Tony explains his point of view to St...
This is a fun Iron Man/Doctor Doom story. I read the first part a while ago, but it still holds up. Any story where you can say "Doom travels back to Camelot and starts a zombie war" is a good one. The future story is good as well, though it's wackier being an 80's story. One thing I like about Marvel 80's is that a lot of fun stories were being written fully aware of their own zaniness. Good fun!
Don't expect a lot. It is 4 comic books collected, so it is not meant to be anything else than entertaining.Truthfully that is all you need sometimes. If you want great literature or deep meaning,try Shakespeare and a philosophy book.
Nei numeri 150, 250 della serie regolare Micheline si è divertito a portate Iron-Man a Camelot, del Re Passato e Futuro, insieme a Destino. L'autore si è divertito a scrivere queste storie, e io mi sono divertito parecchio a leggerle.
Iron Man and Dr. Doom go back in time to Camelot. There are undead soldiers and flying beasts and it's pretty awesome. A fun story with same great Doom dialogue. The follow up story which takes place in the future is also a lot of fun with Iron Man wielding a legendary weapon in space.
A fun, but very 80's, romp. If you're looking for highclass literature you'll be disappointed, but then, it's not trying to be anything other than a fun time travelling adventure.
Old time art, old time story telling, almost juvenile. Today, the stories within would be a lot more involved and a six parter.
Iron Man #149-150 (August-September 1981) and #249-250 (mid-November 1989 "The Doctor's Passion" and December 1989 "Recurring Knightmare"). Amusing.
Super goofy, but entertaining.
