Blog: Back In The Radio Times Again

< previous

At the end of last year I saw that Marvel were going to be releasing a series of trailers for 'Avengers: Doomsday', which would be running before the new 'Avatar' movie in the pictures. I hoped/suspected that these would feature Doctor Doom, so I sent an email to various MEDIA TYPES what I have been in contact with to basically remind them that I exist and was available for LEARNED COMMENT.

As it happens Doctor Doom does NOT appear in any of the teasers, but this did not stop the lovely people at The Radio Times getting in touch to ask if I could write something about where he might be HIDING in them. This led me to several hours of watching and re-watching them, SCOURING the screens for hints of Doom-related activity, and eventually boiling it down to the salient and rigorously researched points raised in the article called What do the Avengers: Doomsday teasers really mean? Doctor Doom expert decodes every clue what has just been UNLEASHED on their website.

To be honest I was a bit worried about making all this COMICS LORE interesting to a wider audience, and so was up until the early hours last night re-writing it, but I think it came out all right in the end. It's VERY exciting to be back in the auspicious Radio Times, and it's also rather handy to be declared a "Doctor Doom expert" right at the top of the page. Apart from the FUN of it, part of the reason for trying to do more of this sort of thing is so that my name will pop up later in the year if anyone searches the internet for "Doctor Doom expert", so hopefully this will help.

Now all I have to do is wait until next month to see if my BIG TRAILER REVEAL prediction comes true!
