Teased at the San Diego Comic Con, 2025 will see the Marvel Universe fall to Doom with the One World Under Doom event. However, leading up to that will be Rise of Emperor Doom, a five-issue mini-series by R. B. Silva and Ryan North.
ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM!
Six months ago, Doctor Victor Von Doom became Sorcerer Supreme – then disappeared behind Latveria’s closed borders. For most, there’s enough going on in the world that Doom’s absence is not a priority, and some time without him feels like a blessing. Only a few recognize it for what it truly was… the calm before the storm. It is a storm that has now arrived. The world has woken up to a new reality: Doctor Doom, Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, has magically taken over every broadcast medium on the planet and declared himself Emperor of the World – the ruler of a new United Latveria! And shockingly, impossibly, all of Earth’s leaders seem to be going along with this. Luckily, whether it’s mind control or Doombots, whatever’s affecting them hasn’t affected Earth’s heroes – and so they quickly form a strike team to stop Doom’s machinations. But will they succeed? And what happens when some begin to welcome their new Emperor with open arms, clamoring for One World Under Doom?
“ONE WORLD UNDER ROOM is the umbrella, impacting not just THE RISE OF EMPEROR DOOM, but the entire Marvel Universe,” Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said at the New York Comic Con. “To the Avengers, Spider-Man, and more…Doom is going to impact every corner of the universe for 2025.”
“ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM sees Doctor Doom coming out of [Latveria], and overnight, taking over the world,” writer Ryan North said. “Every country is a province of a united Latveria, and everyone answers to Doom, and he is going to make some changes … He gets to show the world that he’s the greatest at what he does, and that might not be great for people not named Victor Von Doom.”
The Rise of Emperor Doom #1 is set to kick off on February 12, 2025.
