This is a nice idea, but it's the single cheesiest comic I've ever read. Makes the 1960s batman TV show look serious

I absolutely love it - or rather, the fargo-style review of it, that was once on PQ.

This had me laughing out loud several times. Great stuff.

I found it rather interesting. Most likely, they based the Doom guy off of most players: Mindlessly killing demons and trying to find the big gun. Slipgate - Tongue

I read Fargo's review of this.  I was thinking "could it really be that bad?"  Alas, indeed it is.  Story may not matter much to an action game, but a comic book ABOUT an action game needs some semblence of a story.  I can understand the Doomguy being completely nuts after fighting through Doom II, but I cannot see the "savior of the known universe" babbling to himself like a 13 year old on speed with a sugar high to boot managing to survive where entire platoons of battle-hardened combat troops bit the dust.  The Doomguy deserves better!  What a waste of time and ink!

I always imagined the Doomguy just like he was on screen - a silent killing machine, just grunting with the pain and shrugging it off.
That was one of the annoying things about Serious Sam (yeah, I know I'm the only one who didn't like it).

To quote Lowtax, "I have never wanted a mental enema more than right now."

I didn't even bother reading the whole thing because of how damn bad it was.  (The website also had an extremely annoying flash advertisement.  Slipgate - Tongue)  I normally laugh at things that are horribly bad, but this crosses the line between utter crap and mind-numbing, happiness-killing, suicide-inducing, bane-of-humanity, utter crap.  As you can probably surmise from the number of adjectives I used, the line between the former and the latter is a very thick line to cross.

Added:  This is merely a non-serious suggestion addressed to Con:  For kicks why don't you move this thread to CC and make it a sticky? Sipgate - Evil

Ok... I feel as though I've wasted the last 10 minutes or so of my life.

I guess it wasn't a TOTAL loss though... since I do agree with the psychoctic doom marine's comment about the (doube barreled) shotgun. Slipgate - Smile

Mentioning that comic should be illegal. It makes the Doom novels look like a work of genius.

I'm almost certain they were trying to make Doom guy as much like Ashley Williams as possible.  If you don't know who Ash is, for god's sakes watch Army of Darkness.

The part where the Doom guy has the double barrelled shotgun, and fires a crapload of times, and then proceeds to say "Groovy" quickly set off an Army of Darkness Ripoff Alarm in my head.

Poor Flynn Taggart...he never needed this!

They failed, if that was their plan.

Ash is VERY cool indeed, whereas the main character of this comic is .. a pathetic moron. The latter has no character whatsoever, while Bruce gives the former layer after layer of character-depth by merely using his insane ability to make faces ;]

The groovy is probably ripped straight out of AoD though, but defacing the Evil Dead trilogy would be a greater travesty than assaulting Doom. Not by far, mind you :]

Yeah, I caught onto that too Tab.  They even tried to make his face look like Ash, not like the game character.  :unsure:
