The Doom comic ended up being like a sleeper hit of "lore" for Doom, people dismissed it then, but it would go on to shape how the silent-but-grunty protagonist would be portrayed in other things like popular mods and such, and eventually became pretty much canonized by current Doom. A cult-following level story that became a core characterizing part of the franchise.
@@lechumqc7910 For sure, I'd like to at least see 3 comics (one for each episode) and one for Doom II. I'd love to see how they would handle that silly lore about the pet rabbit, with Doomguy having a really emotional break down about losing them and becoming a ball of rage.
"Some time in 1996 a couple of guys got together and smoked what was apparently a large amount of crack and then injected pure heroin into their eyes and then proceeded to create what is now known only as 'the Doom comic'." Such beautiful poetry to describe this comic in all its magnificence.
Most people already know about the comic (And kinda did before 2016). Funny enough, it's seen as the inspiration of the Doomslayer yet Doomguy in the comic fails to "rip and tear" a Cybie right after the line and still gets occasionally hurt. In a way, he reflects more of a potential character for Doomguy: Can kick ass as much as he gets his kicked back. To me, it's Death Battle that might've inspired modern Doom.
Well, about the BFG tracers instead of the big green ball: In game, the most damage dealt from the BFG comes from 40 invisible tracers (like the ones depicted in the comic), so, this is kinda accurate. Even Decino talked about that. I don't know if the tracers where drawn like that because the artists knew about the in game functionality or if it was, indeed, a mistake. But, after all, we can say it's lore accurate. I guess... Nice video bro! Greetings from México!
Yeah I agree. I feel people give to much flack towards the comic's depiction of the BFG while completely oblivious on how the weapon actually functions. And the people that make the comic must've played doom given how much other stuff they got in the comic. The only thing I'd say is inaccurate is the berserker pack wearing off. Doesn't wear off shortly and it takes 3.9 years in real time. Or the whole map as the manual claims.
The voicing/editing of the comic here is hilariously good Edit: the way the BFG attack is depicted makes me think of the way it actually works programmatically in the game, as in the invisible 'tracers' which are fired in a spread pattern from the gun.
XBox 360 port of Doom2 named all the achievements after quotes in this comic which was amusing they even reference "You've got huge guts" with the achievement requirements being killing a Cyberdemon with your bare hands.
This is a very well known and cherished relic. Reminds me of the old days of 4chan. I know it spans long before that, but that was my introduction to it around 2006 or so. Good stuff.
TO be fair the glory kills were inspired by a couple of games execution systems and also the mod "brutal doom" and its melee system which itself was inspired in-part by the comic so you can trace some legacy there
@@krypton_57 You are dead wrong my dude. Brutal doom had them atleast in 2012 if not earlier. They were renamed executions later instead of fatalities as originally they had more of an original MK inspiration and were there to reward skill and fast reflexes out of berserk and in berserk they were used to show how doom guy was actually going berserk. To begin with doom 2016 lifted a lot from the most popular mods at the time because they were what was keeping the doom brand alive and popular. Its a good example of proper pandering and awareness of your demographic.
yeah but, the bfg ball after it hits something like a wall shoots out a ton of lil tracers that hits things so in a technical sense the panel is correct, we just dont see what the initial energy ball hits. But whatever.
Despite all the mockery the Doom comic always got over the years, I've always loved it. People who mock it are taking things WAY too seriously. The comic is meant to be absurdly over-the-top and ridiculous. You're *supposed* to read it and laugh, thinking "What the fuck am I reading right now???" That was the intention.

I really wish they had done more. I would love to see a complete Doom comic series.

I hate the idea that doomguy losing in a webshow made the new doom slayer so overpowered

Decino made that all up after reading the comment. Over ten minutes of random numbers. Smh
@@christiangottsacker6932
Source?
@@AnisterStarlight source? I made it up 🤣
Sequel: Doomguy vs.Ash Williams.
Groovy
Just got recommended this, I absolutely LOVE the narration! Would kill to hear the entire comic narrated like this, music and all!
I need more comics narrated like this
I'm hoping to find more videos to make with this voice :D
Image if Doom and Doom 2 had a voiced protagonist for the whole game saying one liners like Duke Nukem 3D.

The origin of legendary "Rip and Tear"

I doubt this is true, but i wanna believe the onimonipia is just inspired by the noises Romero made while playing the beta version😂😂😂
The BFG bullets are accurate because in the original game they use invisible tracers to hit multiple enemies when big green bullet hits an obstacle.
I’d kill to have that anthology collection that looks amazing
I read it in Dempsey's voice
Based
This is the best comic ever made.
About the BFG, consider the tracers. Perhaps those are a visualization of the tracers? Decino brought this to my attention in one of their videos.

Brutal doom added executions because of doom 2016 trailers

@@cropathfinder Ok fine, you're right
I would love to play a comic accurate Doom version. With the "Me me me!" Screaming and all^^
Did you know there was a hidden comic in the Saturn version of Quake?
Please, create a fully-voiced video comic. This is sick!
Bro the cyber demon got shot in the balls

Wonder why we never got more of these

Maybe people did not like because doom guy spoke like Duke Nukem
I like this
How did you create that voice? It's THAT great. Just like Sgt. Rock or Lobo sounded in my head.
And by the way, nice one of a video!
Epic!
Nice video but I was curious who is voice the doom guy in this video?
(Sigh)
Could've been good in a different way....
