Next year, the Marvel universe is about to experience One World Under Doom. And in a shocking twist of events, in One World Under Doom #2 (of 9), the Fantastic Four do not defeat Doom and save the day, seven issues before the end of the series. Quite the opposite, in fact.
“Things really kick off in One World Under Doom #2,” writer Ryan North said via press release provided to Comic Book Club. “Doom is consolidating his power, and of course, the only thing that’s really standing between him and his ambitions is the Fantastic Four. So, Doom simply solves that problem. The way he does it will have repercussions for the FF for quite a while! This issue in particular is basically a surprise secret issue of Fantastic Four – and anyone reading that book will not want to miss it.”
If you’ve been paying attention, it seems like in One World Under Doom #1 the Avengers take on Doom, who is now Sorcerer Supreme and has declared himself Emperor of Earth… And failed. In One World Under Doom #2, it’s the Fantastic Four’s turn. Unfortunately for them, the covers for the March debuting issue show that they will, “confront their archenemy—with disastrous consequences. Proving no match of Doom’s augmented magic, it’s a brutal defeat that will redefine Marvel’s First Family for the foreseeable future.”
Along with a main cover by Ben Harvey, the issue will also feature a vriant cover by interior artist R.B. Silva, and a variant by Jerome Opeña. Check out the synopsis for the issue, and the covers, below. One World Under Doom #2 debuts on March 19, 2025.
Doctor Doom has taken over the world, and Earth’s mightiest heroes have failed twice: first to stop him, and now to overthrow him. But the Fantastic Four know Doom better than anyone, which makes them ideally suited to take on Earth’s new Emperor…except for the fact that he knows THEM just as well. As Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Sue and Johnny Storm prepare to face down Doom at the United Nations, Doom pays a secret visit to speak to the only person on Earth who holds both his favor, his respect…and his love. But can Valeria Richards change her uncle’s mind? And if she fails, what will stop Doom from visiting a shocking fate on the Fantastic Four that not even he can undo? And, as the Avengers reel from their losses, the course of the Marvel Universe will change – and Marvel’s First Family won’t be the same!
