Doctor Doom Cures Ben Grimm In Marvel’s March One World Under Doom Solicits

Fantastic Four #30 cover crop

Marvel has already teased that Doctor Doom will deal a devastating blow to the Fantastic Four in One World Under Doom #2. And now, thanks to the publisher’s solicits for event tie-in issues, we know what happens: Doom cures Ben Grimm of being The Thing, turning the team into the Fantastic Three.

This is far from the first time Ben Grimm has been cured, of course, so we’d expect him to return to his rocky self at some point. But this plot point will reverberate through the Fantastic Four for the foreseeable future.

Not only that, the publisher also shared first looks at Iron Man, Doom Academy, Thunderbolts: Doomstrike, and Red Hulk. Check ’em all out, below.

FANTASTIC THREE!

After Ben Grimm has suffered a terrible (and very public) defeat at the hands of Doom, he’s left lost, adrift – and more vulnerable than he has been in years. And when a trip to New York goes wrong and his fate suddenly turns from bad to worse, Ben has never been more vulnerable – and soon takes a shocking shortcut he won’t be able to undo! This is one Thing and Alicia story you won’t soon forget!
