    Doctor Doom Vols. 1-2: Pottersville and Bedford Falls - Cantwell, Larroca

    It's time to get reading and discussing in The Fake Nerd Book Club! The original FNP segment has expanded to its own show, featuring deeper explorations of whole series, special deep dives on novels, interviews with creators, and the archive of segments from the mothership podcast.

    For his rotational pick, Ryan chose the 2 volumes containing all 10 issues of the abbreviated Doctor Doom run. The comic really sings for the boys when it's about Doom and Kang, the strength of the story. There are other elements that reek of being hurt from cancellation. Overall, there's a lot of things to enjoy about what the run was trying to do with Doom and they get into all of it. All issues are written by Christopher Cantwell and illustrated by Salvador Larroca. Enjoy the discussion!
