In FF #13, when asked by Valeria Richards how he can be sure that he will not die in the face of certain death at the hands of cosmic forces, this is Dr. Doom’s response:

He will not die because he is DOOM, Destroyer of Worlds. This kind of confidence is what I’m bringing into the new year.

2010 was not really good to me. It was bland at best. But 2011 was an entirely different story altogether. In 2011, I got my groove back. I met a girl and I was lucky enough to win her heart. We’re now in a 9-month relationship and we’re getting better at this whole being a couple thing everyday. I also got a new job that I didn’t know I wanted until I got it. Plus, I have two paid writing gigs on the side to boot.

2011 has been very good to me and I’m hoping 2012 will be better. I’ll be greeting the new year with DOOM-like confidence. In 2012, I shall be invincible. In 2012, gods shall not dare stand against me. I hope all of you will carry this same insolent swagger into 2012. Happy new year, everyone!
