What Aaron creates in this issue is not just a villain- although this incarnation of the iconic character is up there with the best of them- he truly develops a menacing and maniacal mind that challenges the limits of evil that one would consider a villain capable of.
It is clear throughout this issue that this version of the iconic villain takes everything a step further, and dials the entire basis of his villainy to an 11; orchestrating a character that would make the Doctor Doom we know akin to Steve Rogers or Peter Parker.

Horrific, treacherous, tormenting, and devious beyond imagination, this is a character that truly years for the depths of power that only a god could ever hope to possess, and then takes that idea couple of leaps forward.
It is incredibly intriguing to imagine just where this story can go from here, as Aaron is setting up a villain that will raise the stakes of this issue, and prime for a showdown that could be among the iconic writers’ best works yet.
