One World Under Doom #2 (Comics) Preview

With the first issue out now, One World Under Doom #2 is looking to present a classic matchup, with the FF taking on the Doc.

Is the FF doomed?

One World Under Doom is the latest event series from Marvel Comics, and picks up one big narrative thread from last year’s Blood Hunt. Namely, that Doctor Doom has usurped the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme from Stephen Strange. And while he’s been biding his time in the months since then, he’s finally ready to strike.

The first issue, which is out now, kicks things off from the creative team of Ryan North and R.B. Silva, and presents a world that’s seemingly bowed down to its new emperor, Victor von Doom. As you might imagine though, there are some who don’t quite like that idea, and you’d best believe the Fantastic Four are among them.

Now, we’ve been warned for some time that the FF wouldn’t have a great time when confronting Doom. So if you’re a big fan of the team, you might be in for a rough one with this issue. On top it too, it looks like their humbling experience will be taking place in the halls of the UN.

Talk about a big stage.

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.”
