One World Under Doom begins 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 entire Marvel Universe, impacting various ongoing titles and igniting the launch of several special tie-in limited series.
Today, we have a first look at One World Under Doom's tie-in issues ahead of their respective releases 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.
Here's a full breakdown of what to expect from One World Under Doom this April:
