“I absolutely love Doomkopf.”

Colonel Doom
While he may not be the most prolific contributor to Doomkopf, Colonel Doom is one of the longest-standing members. If you were to compare them to the original Avengers, he’s kind of like Wasp.

Doom DeLuise
Doom DeLuise enjoys the Marvel Universe far more than the DC Universe, but, oddly enough, finds that he buys way more DC titles than Marvel titles. This is just one of many paradoxical views he holds. If you’d like to reach Doom DeLuise, belly up to your local bar and have a few pints. He’ll be there eventually.

Doom Fritter
The newest member to Doomkpof, Doom Fritter likes Criminal, The Incredible Hercules, DMZ, wondering what the guy who played the Comedian in Watchmen is going to do next with his career, and he also likes jumping into comics at bad jumping-on points and not filling out biographies on biography pages. Everything else about him is a mystery.

Doom! Where’s My Car?
Very little is known about Doom! Where’s My Car? other than the fact that he’s very non-committal.

Doominator
Doominator could not remember his password for a four month period. He almost exclusively reads “Batman,” “Sandman,” “Love and Rockets” and “X-Men,” but somehow is a Marvel encyclopedia. He wastes his money on malt liquor instead of comics, so he rarely posts. Secret likes: Jeffrey Brown

Fin Fang Doom
God bless the public library. Were it not for a monthly subscription to Amazing Spider-Man and a handful of 60s Marvel collections they had, my love of comics would not be what it is today. No summer day was ever spent better than it was reading Bring on the Bad Guys and Son of Origins with Colonel Doom and his bro.

Then came the end of 1994, which marked both the start of some sizable disposable income and the death of Professor X. Yes, the Age of Apocalypse is the reason I collect comics to this very day. I am and always have been a sucker for a good mega-crossover, and AoA still holds up as one of the best Marvel’s ever done (which I realize isn’t saying a whole lot).

For years, the only comics I bought were Uncanny X-Men, X-Men and X-Man. Then came a little thing called Onslaught, which opened my eyes to the rest of the Marvel Universe. Onslaught gave way to Heroes Reborn (which I avoided), which gave way to Heroes Return (which I scooped up with delight). For the first time, stuff that wasn’t X-Men or Spider-Man appealed to me. And I guess I have Rob Liefeld to thank, in a way.

Discovering the world outside of Spidey and Wolverine lead me to independent stuff like Tellos and Bone (still my favorite comic story of all time). For some reason, I never started reading DC Comics, except for Elseworlds stuff and the classics like Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns.

Then my old comic-reading companion Colonel Doom told me about a little thing called Countdown to Infinite Crisis. And now I spend twice as much money every week as I used to. Thanks a lot, Colonel.

I count Robert Kirkman, Joss Whedon, Peter David, Ed Brubaker and Kurt Busiek amongst my favorite writers.

Mark Bagley, Alex Ross, John Cassaday, Alan Davis and George Perez are some of my favorite aritsts.

Here’s a sampling of what I read and enjoy now: The Walking Dead, Amazing Spider-Man, Invincible, She-Hulk, Birds of Prey, Captain America, Fear Agent, Nightwing, Runaways, Fallen Angel.

Jim Doom
Jim Doom buys comics and reads them and then lets them pile up on the floor. He does not polybag. He responds to emails at jimdoom [at] doomkopf [dot] com or on AIM at doomkopfdotcom
