id Software’s Doom was a big deal in its day. As far as FPS’s go, it was the best thing on the PC at the time, to be sure. (Bungie’s Marathon on the Mac was far superior, IMHO.)

In spite of its success, the game plot for Doom really, really sucked: You’re a space marine and we accidentally opened a gateway to hell. Now go kill everything.

What would be really unfortunate is if somebody tried to make a comic book based on Doom. Naturally, somebody did.

Here are a few of my favorite dialog gems:

“I’ve got a handful of vertebrae and a head full of mad!”
“You are huge! That means you have huge guts! Rip and tear!”
“Gah! Radioactive waste! Burns! Stinks!”

Funny how it never became a collectors item.
