Posted on by Leave a comment

Celebrated comic book writer Matthew Rosenberg and his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg previously announced a team up with artist Andy Macdonald, colorist Francesco Segala, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou for If Destruction Be Our Lot, the anticipated new speculative science fiction series painting an all too possible picture of humanity’s end.

Image Comics and the team behind this timely new ongoing premier a beautiful new cinematic trailer in time for orders to be placed with your local comic shop!

In If Destruction Be Our Lot, humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us. They are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abe, a robotic replicant of Abraham Lincoln in search of meaning beyond the daily grind. Abe believes there must be something more out there beyond the edge of the city. After nearly getting killed, he’s determined to wander the Earth until he finds it… or gets recycled trying.

The full lineup of covers for issues number 1 and 2 have been revealed, and include series artist Andy MacDonald, Jerome Opeña,  James Harren, Tradd Moore, Tula Lotay, and Cliff Chiang. Each issue will also feature a special ‘Where’s Abe?’ homage cover where the book’s protagonist wanders onto the cover of another beloved Image Comics title, as drawn by that book’s artist. Issue one’s Ice Cream Man homage is drawn by Martín Morazzo and issue two will have a Sex Criminals homage by Chip Zdarsky, with plenty more to come!

The Fantastic Four are no match for Doom’s new power in One World Under Doom #2!

Posted on by

This past summer in Blood Hunt, Doctor Doom seized the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme—but that was just the beginning! Doom’s ambition knows no limit, and starting this February, Marvel’s most iconic supervillain uses his new power to take over the world in “One World Under Doom“!

Impacting the status quo of the entire Marvel Universe in exciting tie-in issues, One World Under Doom will be anchored by a nine-issue event series written by Ryan North and drawn by R.B. Silva with colors by David Curiel. The series takes readers behind the mask as they bear witness to the triumphs and trials of Doom’s rule, as well as Earth’s heroes’ foolish attempts to topple it. Fans can peek ahead at One World Under Doom #2, on sale March 19, where the Fantastic Four will confront their archenemy—with disastrous consequences. Proving no match of Doom’s augmented magic, it’s a brutal defeat that will redefine Marvel’s First Family for the foreseeable future…

Doctor Doom has taken over the world, and Earth’s mightiest heroes have failed twice: first to stop him, and now to overthrow him. But the Fantastic Four know Doom better than anyone, which makes them ideally suited to take on Earth’s new Emperor…except for the fact that he knows THEM just as well. As Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Sue and Johnny Storm prepare to face down Doom at the United Nations, Doom pays a secret visit to speak to the only person on Earth who holds both his favor, his respect…and his love. But can Valeria Richards change her uncle’s mind? And if she fails, what will stop Doom from visiting a shocking fate on the Fantastic Four that not even he can undo? And, as the Avengers reel from their losses, the course of the Marvel Universe will change – and Marvel’s First Family won’t be the same!

Check out new covers for One World Under Doom #2, including pieces by series artist R.B. Silva and acclaimed artist Jerome Opeña and a main cover by Ben Harvey. Preorder One World Under Doom at your local comic shop and stay tuned this week for more One World Under Doom news, including new tie-in series announcements.
