Doctor Doom’s rule begins in One World Under Doom #1

Since Blood Hunt concluded with Doctor Doom seizing the power of Sorcerer Supreme for himself, the Marvel Universe has waited with bated breath for the iconic supervillain’s next move. This February, the wait is over as Doctor Doom takes control of the entire world in a status quo-shattering event, ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM!

Teased throughout the year, “One World Under Doom” was formally announced last month at New York Comic Con. Fans learned that the event will be anchored by a core One World Under Doom series launching in February. This nine-issue event series will written by Ryan North, whose run on Fantastic Four will be heavily impacted by One World Under Doom, drawn by R.B. Silva, and colors by David Curiel. While Doom’s bold reach for power brings change to the entire Marvel Universe, One World Under Doom takes readers behind the mask as they bear witness to the triumphs and trials of Doom’s rule, as well as the foolish attempts to topple it.

Check out all-new variant covers for One World Under Doom #1, including pieces by superstar artists like John Tyler Christopher, Nick Bradshaw, Rod Reis, Will Sliney, Rose Besch, Mike Mignola, and R.B. Silva. Plus, never-before-seen interior artwork shows the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and more of Earth’s heroes assemble as they prepare their first strike against the world’s new ultimate authority. 

ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM!

Six months ago, Doctor Victor Von Doom became Sorcerer Supreme – then disappeared behind Latveria’s closed borders. For most, there’s enough going on in the world that Doom’s absence is not a priority, and some time without him feels like a blessing. Only a few recognize it for what it truly was… the calm before the storm. It is a storm that has now arrived. The world has woken up to a new reality: Doctor Doom, Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, has magically taken over every broadcast medium on the planet and declared himself Emperor of the World – the ruler of a new United Latveria! And shockingly, impossibly, all of Earth’s leaders seem to be going along with this. Luckily, whether it’s mind control or Doombots, whatever’s affecting them hasn’t affected Earth’s heroes – and so they quickly form a strike team to stop Doom’s machinations. But will they succeed? And what happens when some begin to welcome their new Emperor with open arms, clamoring for One World Under Doom?

“One World Under Doom” is an overarching status quo shift coming to Marvel Comics, the likes of which haven’t been seen since 2008’s Dark Reign. It’s a shocking and upending turn of events that will impact Marvel’s entire line of comics and see the launch of tie-in series and one-shots, collectively forming an era worthy of comic books’ greatest supervillain! Check out the new covers and artwork and stay tuned more ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM news later this week!
