The Doomguy’s quest is to find the BFG 9000, and along the way, he gradually gathers more powerful weapons from a chainsaw to a shotgun, and all the way up to a plasma rifle.

To the comic’s credit, it does a decent job of recreating Doom’s basic structure. That’s just a small taste of the craziness within, and it justs keeps getting weirder from there. Then he flees in search of a gun, while the monster just stands and laughs. He states his desire to rip the creature apart, screaming furiously “ YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS! RIP AND TEAR!” He tries to punch it, only to realise his power-up has worn off. The third page – where he confronts a Cyberdemon – has sealed the comic’s place in history.

He mocks the dead demon with “That’s your spinal cord, baby! Dig it!” before promptly kicking down a door. His inner dialogue reads “ Who’s a man and half? I’m a man and a half! A Berserker packin’ man and a half!” On the next page, he’s gripping the severed spine, his face distorted with pure fury. Page one has Doomguy in the midst of a Berserk rage – which Doom players will know is the power up that lets you punch monsters into red paste – and is seen ripping out a demon’s spine.
