I've always liked JB could say more with a single pose than most writers could with captions or dialogue.  This is proof of that.  Dr. Doom looks like he's in the mood to do something dastardly evil.

After a few drinks this piece almost brings me to tears - it's THAT good.

Wow! That is one impressive Doom. Two things come to mind immediately:

First, I'm so glad I'm not the pathetic fool I imagine to be on the other side of that stare.

Second, I'm thinking about how much I would instantly know about this character, even if I had never seen him before. You can't mistake the sense of majesty, arrogance, and evil that jumps from the page. That is storytelling at its best.

Look at how the cape folds over itself on the floor.
Without reference, who would know to draw it like that?

I don't usually join in on these threads (not because I don't like an image. Ususally it's because I don't have anything unique to add) BUT...
