Relocated from New Orleans to Latveria, the best magic school in the world just got better (according to some).

Doom Academy #1

Did you think that STRANGE ACADEMY would be the same in the world with DOCTOR DOOM as SORCERER SUPREME?! NO! It is now DOOM ACADEMY! Relocated from New Orleans to Latveria, the best magic school in the world just got better (according to some). It’s the start of the second year for Strange Academy students, and you know that things will not go as planned! Doom Academy #1 moves Strange Academy to Latveria introducing a whole bunch of new characters and an interesting look into the Latverian life.

Written by Mackenzie Cadenhead, Doom Academy #1 is an interesting comic. It has a similar fun tone of Strange Academy but also has a dark cloud hanging over it. Doom is now Sorcerer Supreme and the world is under his control. But, it looks like at least some of the “Strange Academy” faculty is fine with that. Doom Academy #1 is intriguing, partially because there’s a certain amount of complicity within its pages but also a small sign of resistance.

So far, the “One World Under Doom” tie-ins have shown a broad, big picture aspect to the story with big moments with major impacts. Doom Academy #1 focuses things in taking place in a school and that’s about it. There’s a lot that works and some things that are headscratchers too. Doctor Voodoo is present, an oddity that feels like a hero bending to the rule of a villain as opposed to resisting. But, there’s no complicity across the board. A new character is introduced showing some of the propaganda that Doom uses to shape perceptions, a theme and concept seen in other issues that tie into the event so far.

Cadenhead delivers a bit of mystery and adventure in the comic too, delivering a plotline that’s not focused on the fact the world has been taken over by Doom. Together, the comic touches upon the status-quo but also knows it’s about the school, not macro-politics.

The art by Pasqual Ferry is pretty solid. With color by Edgar Delgado and lettering by Clayton Cowles, the visuals pop a bit. The comic has a nice balance of being a bit cheery but also a bit ominous too. There’s youthful feel to it but at the same time the lingering aspect of Doom is present. A lot of that balance is due to the small details of the comic. There’s small visual additions that emphasize that this is a magical school but there’s also clear queues that this is a school that’s under a watchful eye too.

Doom Academy #1 is a fun comic. It doesn’t quite have the serious nature of other “One World Under Doom” tie-ins but is squarely rooted in those events. It keeps the basic concepts from previous series going, a school that might give the X-Men a run for the money when it comes to danger for the students.

A New Masters of Evil debuts, The Fantastic Four become the Fantastic Tow, and more in One World Under Doom this April

“One World Under Doom” kicks off in just a few weeks, ushering in a new era of Marvel Comics where Doctor Doom reigns supreme! Doom’s rule will be felt across the Marvel Universe, impacting various ongoing titles and igniting the launch of special tie-in limited series. Today, fans can peek ahead at “One World Under Doom” tie-in issues coming in April.

Just in time for a milestone issue of Jed MacKay and Valerio Schiti’s acclaimed Avengers run, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes find themselves in an explosive battle against Doom in Avengers #25. While the Avengers strike, a terrifying group of villains will take advantage and stage an assault on their Impossible City headquarters—the new MASTERS OF EVIL! Then, following their humbling defeat at Doom’s hands, a desperate plan to reverse their circumstances threatens to further diminish Marvel’s First Family to the FANTASTIC TWO in Ryan North and Cory Smith’s Fantastic Four #31.

Plus, under Doom’s command, Tiger Division goes on a recruiting spree in Doom’s Division #2, the Strange Academy kids discover how horrifying Latervian fairy tales can be in Doom Academy #3, Thunderbolt Ross escapes Doom’s prison and goes on the run in Red Hulk #3, and Doom tasks the classic Thunderbolts with taking down Bucky’s revolution in Thunderbolts: Doomstrike #3. April will also see the debut of Steve Foxe and Luca Maresca‘s Superior Avengers.

NYCC 2024: Marvel reveals Doom Academy!

Starting in February, “One World Under Doom” overtakes the Marvel Universe, and the first of its many tie-in series was announced at the Women of Marvel Panel at New York Comic Con: DOOM ACADEMY!

Doom Academy will be a five-issue limited series written by author Mackenzie Cadenhead and drawn by Pasqual Ferry that sees Doctor Strange’s school for young sorcerers transformed in accordance with Doom’s rule! The students of Strange Academy were instrumental in Doom’s bold reach for power in Blood Hunt, and now that he has the entire world under his mighty thumb, his influence on these breakout young Marvel heroes truly begins.

Did you think that Strange Academy would be the same in the world with Doctor Doom as Sorcerer Supreme?! NO! It is now DOOM ACADEMY! Relocated from New Orleans to Latveria, the best magic school in the world just got better (according to some). It’s the start of the second year for Strange Academy students, and you know that things will not go as planned!

Doom Academy will also feature sequences by artist João Lemos.

Announced earlier this week, “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. Spinning out of Blood Hunt where Doctor Doom manipulated Doctor Strange into passing him the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, “One World Under Doom” sees Doom accomplish his ultimate goal as he uses his new power to take over the entire world. 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 Doom Academy #1 main cover by Pablo Villalobos and variant covers by Ryan Brown and Woo-Chul Lee and stay tuned for more “One World Under Doom” news in the weeks ahead, including new series tie-in issue announcements.
