History Comicbook / Doom

** In the UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade release of ''Doom II'', most of the Achievements are named after several lines from this very comic, such as "Important Looking Door" being obtained by finding a secret, and "You Have Huge Guts" for killing a Cyberdemon with your fists.

* UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks: In many ways, this is really a parody of the kind of overly violent, overly angsty comics that were in vogue during the 1990s.

* ExcusePlot. The plot basically goes down to the Doomguy looking for the {{BFG}} because he couldn't rip and tear a cyberdemon's '''''[[SuddenlyShouting HUGE GUTS!]]'''''

* OffModel: "Copious amounts" won't even begin to describe how off model the artwork in the comic is, but there are a few glaring examples:
** In page 4 of the comic, Doomguy is clearly toting what appears to be a side-by-side double barreled shotgun, but in the next page the shotgun somehow transforms into a semi-auto model with a magazine tube. Even when it's drawn to look like a side-by-side in the ''very next panel'' afterwards, there is nonetheless a visible rail sight on the ''side'' of one of the barrels.
** In page 11, Doomguy spots a plasma rifle on the floor. By the ''very next panel'', the plasma gun is ''now perched atop a high ledge'' for some reason and he's forced to make a leap for it.

* RatedMForManly: '''"RIP AND TEAR"'''

A comic adapted from the {{video game|s}} ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''.

The hero, a [[QuadDamage berserker packin']] man-and-a-half with [[OnAScaleFromOneToTen a 12.0 on a 10.0 scale of badness]], is attempting to [[LudicrousGibs RIP AND TEAR]] a huge [[OurDemonsAreDifferent cyberdemon's]] huge guts with his [[MegatonPunch Night Train]], when his berserker pack runs out, leaving the demon [[UnusualEuphemism bonking]] unharmed. His UnstoppableRage over, he spends the rest of the comic communicating his desire to have guns (via a {{chainsaw|Good}}) looking for [[{{BFG}} a gun big enough to blow the demon away]]. But even if he personally stops this alien invasion, what kind of planet will we be leaving to our children? And our children's children? [[GreenAesop How will they live with all the undisposed toxic waste that we left to them to deal with and]]... oh, the humanity, his big gun is out of bullets! (Better believe it, soldier!) ''Dynamite!''

In other words, this 90s comic book (originally a convention giveaway) has become a CultClassic thanks to being nonsensical and over-the-top.

* OhTheHumanity: Doomguy is in the midst of using this trope to lament both nuclear waste and his own newfound radioactivity, when..
-->'''Doomguy:'''''"The humanity! [[{{AvertedTrope}} My big gun]] [[{{SkewedPriorities}} is out of bullets!"]]''

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: "heavy ordinance"

* SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness: Pretty much the plot - Doomguy kills stuff, and gets a weapon better then his last one.
** Lampshaded when he soliloquizes about his vast respect for his shotgun, then instantly discards it in the next panel to pick up a chaingun.

* ThoughtCaption: All captions reflect Doomguy's thoughts. The odd one out is "Scant seconds later...", which either isn't a thought, or a sign that Doomguy is even crazier than previously though.

-->"As I stride knee deep through the dead. All is clear. I know what must be done..."

* ILoveNuclearPower: Not really, in this case: "Now I'm radioactive. [[AndThatsTerrible That can't be good]]."

* OhTheHumanity: Doomguy is in the midst of using this trope to lament both [[{{ILoveNuclearPower}} Nuclear Waste]] and his own newfound radioactivity, when..

* UpToEleven: Up to twelve, actually.
