New York, NY— February 14, 2025 — Doom’s reign has finally begun!
ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, Marvel’s latest comic book event, launched earlier this week, and astonished readers learned that being ruled by Victor von Doom is nothing short of magnificent! Impacting the status quo of the Marvel Universe for the foreseeable future, the triumphs and trials of Doom’s regime will be told in a nine-issue core series by acclaimed writer Ryan North and superstar artist R.B. Silva, while the iconic supervillain’s ascension reverberates across the line in numerous limited series and tie-in issues. Following a sold-out debut, a Second Printing of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #1 is on its way to comic shops next month. And today, loyal subjects can get an advance look at the second issue, which delivers a monumental confrontation between Doom and his archenemies—the Fantastic Four!
After rightfully seizing the title of Sorcerer Supreme in last summer’s Blood Hunt, Doctor Doom is determined to use its legendary power to make the world a better place for all! In ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #1, Doom successfully unites the planet under his leadership, and—to the shock of your favorite super heroes—Earth embraces its new Emperor! Guiding the world towards everlasting peace and safety, Doom’s dominion promises to achieve what his foes have so often failed to accomplish. Yet, as seen in a new preview of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #2, there are still those selfish enough to oppose him! In a brazen move they’ll live to regret, the Fantastic Four strike at Earth’s beloved new leader while he delivers a rousing speech at the United Nations. Plus, Doom confides his plans in the only person who commands his respect, Valeria Richards. Does she share her uncle’s glorious vision, or will she be blinded by jealousy like her foolish parents!?
“I signed for three hours at Crossover Comics in Montreal on Wednesday to celebrate the launch, and it was busy non-stop the whole time,” North shared. “I met a ton of great people—and, happily, had my first review there too, from a reader who read the issue while waiting in line for it to be signed! Thankfully, he really liked it. It’s been fantastic to wake up in a snow-covered Montreal and see all the enthusiasm about the book. It’s a story that’s been in the works for years, so to finally have it out—and so well-received—is really gratifying.”
