I've been reading my old Ultimate trades one last time before heading out to college next month; and for the first time I noticed one of the worst continuity mistakes ever.
In "Frightful" Doctor Doom sacrifices himself by entering the Zombie world, while possessed by a world destroying parasite.
Several years of comics later, Jeph Loeb 'reintroduces' him as an evil mastermind in Ultimates 3. Then Doom was killed in Ultimatum, presumably for good.
I don't understand how a professional comic company could let this happen. I don't mean to be a whiny nerd here, but this doesn't seem like a little detail. It betrays the very idea that these are serial stories being sold every month.
I also legitimately want to know; how could no one convince Loeb to dedicate a single page to how Doom went from A to B? Is there actually a reason it was ignored?
