The Marvel Universe is about to be taken over by Doctor Doom. And one group that will be fighting back? Bucky’s new Thunderbolts. Only thing standing in their way in the new miniseries Thunderbolts: Doomstrike is… The original Thunderbolts.
The new five-issue limited series comes from writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with art by Tommaso Bianchi. In it, Bucky’s black-ops team — first seen in the most recent Thunderbolts series — realize they accidentally led to new status quo of the One World Under Doom event. Feeling guilty, Bucky leads the team to take down Doom, with Moonstone, Atlas, Fixer and more OG Thunderbolts characters getting recruited by Doom to stop them.
“We can’t wait for folks to see what Ryan and company have planned for One World Under Doom – a Marvel event with brains, heart, and incredible scope,” Kelly and Lanzing said via press release, presumably via their hive mind brain. “The Thunderbolts are a crucial part of the puzzle: this is the story of what happens when heroes openly oppose Doom… and how they’ll have to learn to fight differently if they’re ever to make a difference. With returning characters and storylines we’ve been building since our run on Captain America, plus new and returning Thunderbolts from all eras, THUNDERBOLTS: DOOMSTRIKE is a whole new take on Marvel’s messiest, meanest superteam – a story about fighting the power, even if it costs you everything.”
Like the completely coincidental timing of the Red Hulk series announced by Marvel that debuts around the same time as the character appears on screen in Captain America: Brave New World, in another surprising coincidence there’s a Thunderbolts* movie coming to theaters on May 2. Huh! Weird how that happened.

REVOLUTION… LIKE LIGHTNING! Doom took over the world. And Bucky Barnes helped him do it. To atone for his unwitting role in Doom’s triumph, Bucky assembles a team with one goal: burn it all down. But when Bucky’s saboteurs – including Black Widow, Songbird, USAgent, Sharon Carter and a few surprise wildcards – launch a no-holds-barred campaign to tear Doom’s Empire apart, Doom decides to prove that revolution ends in blood…
