The will of Doom will not be denied!
For the last five months, Doctor Doom has triumphed over all challenges to maintain his rule in One World Under Doom, the latest status-quo shattering event to hit the Marvel Universe. From his humbling defeat of the Fantastic Four to his breathtaking showdown with Dormammu, we've witnessed the saga's most pivotal moments in writer Ryan North and artist R.B. Silva's core event series.
This October, the final battle begins in the penultimate issue, One World Under Doom #8. There, Doom will hold nothing back, unleashing the full might of his power as Sorcerer Supreme in a feat that ensures the impact of Doom’s reign will be felt forever. This climactic battle will decide Earth's fate and lay the groundwork for what lies next for both Doom and our favourite Marvel heroes.
Also revealed this week are a pair of explosive One World Under Doom tie-in issues on sale the same month: Red Hulk #9, where Thunderbolt Ross' leads a high-stakes attack on the seat of Doom's power, and the final issue of the latest volume of Runaways, where Doom put the team back on the run after targeting one of their members.
Check out the cover art and details for October's One World Under Doom issues below.
Doom battles the combined might of an entire world to maintain his control: But can even he stand against the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four...and every other hero on Earth? It seems like all hope is lost: until a desperate gambit gives the heroes exactly what they need to win! But Doom has a desperate gambit of his own: one that, though it’s never been attempted before, combines all his sorcery and science into a single brutal attack. It all leads to a shocking conclusion – with consequences that will reverberate throughout the entire Marvel Universe in this penultimate issue!
