Three more crossover issues have been revealed for Marvel Comics‘ next big event, with Fantastic Four leading the way.
Call the Four
The new year is going to be rolling in with a bang for Marvel Comics fans, as One World Under Doom comes charging in. A new event for the Marvel Universe, One World Under Doom follows on the heels of Blood Hunt‘s vampiric epic, and finds arch-villain Doctor Doom ruling the planet as Sorcerer Supreme.
As such, he’s set to bring Earth’s superheroes to heel, and that begins with the mutant populace and of course the Fantastic Four. The latter team is only fitting, since Doom has been the main villain for Marvel’s First Family since almost the beginning, and it sounds like they’re going to find One World Under Doom not all that hospitable.
They’re not the only ones though, since the US government’s mutant super-team X-Factor will be in the unenviable position of actually reporting to Doom himself. Speaking of mutants too, Doom is on the hunt for Storm in her solo title, but she’s got… bigger fish to fry? Is that possible?
FANTASTIC FOUR #29
- Written by Ryan North
- Art by Cory Smith
- THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED!
- Doctor Doom has taken over the world! And the Fantastic Four are NOT going to let that stand. As Reed locks himself in his lab, trying to solve the Problem of Doom, Ben treats Sue to a trip to NYC with their mutual friend, Jen “She-Hulk” Walters, to help get her mind off of things. But tensions after vampires overran the world in their Blood Hunt remain, and when Ben, Sue and Jen find themselves on the wrong side of mob justice, they face a choice…and it’s one they will not be able to take back!
STORM #5
- Written by Murewa Ayodele
- Art by Lucas Werneck
- OBLIVION WAITS…NO LONGER!
- Trivial is the fight with Doctor Doom, Sorcerer Supreme. For in a realm beyond our own, in the Dimension of Manifestations, a trial-by-combat brews between Eternity (the physical embodiment of our universe) and Oblivion (the physical embodiment of the void). The fate of our universe is at stake. Who shall fight on behalf of our universe if not Ororo Munroe – the ETERNAL STORM? And how will she fare against the ageless primordial behemoth that is Oblivion?
X-FACTOR #7
- Written by Mark Russell
- Art by Bob Quinn
- THERE’S A NEW MAN IN CHARGE!
- Angel returns to lead X-Factor, just as Emperor Doom will lead the world to glory! But, in the utopic domain of the magnanimous Doom, what could X-Factor’s mission be? And what could bring them to a small nation on the island of…Genosha?!
