Back at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel teased One World Under Doom, a new status quo spinning out of Blood Hunt, which finds Doom the new Sorcerer Supreme of the Marvel U. And announced today at New York Comic Con’s Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel, it was revealed that writer Ryan North will be officially kicking things off with a new miniseries titled Rise of Emperor Doom.
Rather than an event, One World Under Doom is described as an “overarching status quo shift,” with the publisher calling out Dark Reign (which found villains taking charge of the Marvel universe) as a comparison point. In it, Doom manages to use his new power to take over the entire world. It 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!”
But first, there’s Rise of Emperor Doom, a five-issue event series written by Ryan North, with art by R.B. Silva.
“ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM sees Doctor Doom coming out of [Latveria], and overnight, taking over the world,” North said via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “Every country is a province of a united Latveria, and everyone answers to Doom, and he is going to make some changes … He gets to show the world that he’s the greatest at what he does, and that might not be great for people not named Victor Von Doom.”
Added editor Tom Brevoort, “ONE WORLD UNDER ROOM is the umbrella, impacting not just THE RISE OF EMPEROR DOOM, but the entire Marvel Universe. To the Avengers, Spider-Man and more…Doom is going to impact every corner of the universe for 2025.”
Check out the official synopsis below, as well as Ben Harvey’s main cover, a promo piece by Greg Land, and interior artwork. Rise of Emperor Doom #1 hits stores on February 12, 2025.
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?
