Disney Buys Fox: 8 Epic Storylines The MCU Can Now Adapt
6. Triumph And Torment
Marvel Comics/Mike Mignola
On the surface, it's easy to see why someone would be confused by a Doctor Doom/Doctor Strange team-up comic. Apart from the fact they're both doctors, it wouldn't appear as though they have much in common.
That's where Triumph and Torment comes in.
With pencils provided by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Triumph and Torment is one of the most compelling Doctor Strange tales going. It's also a book where Victor von Doom really comes into his own, having recruited the Sorcerer Supreme in an effort to end a decades-long feud in Hell.
To disclose more would be to ruin the story's mystery, but with the book being a relatively obscure one, one would hope Marvel Studios are ready to consult it - however unlikely a team-up it may seem. Maybe Noah Hawley could get the chance to finish his Doom movie this way?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
