Marvel Comics has unveiled new cover artwork and an interior preview of the upcoming One World Under Doom series. The new story will launch Doctor Doom‘s new reign as he takes over the Marvel Universe.

The One World Under Doom event was announced last month at New York Comic Con, and Marvel teased that Ryan North (Fantastic Four) and R.B. Silva (Rise of the Powers of X) would kick off the status quo-shattering event with the One World Under Doom anchor title. The nine-issue series will tell the story of Doctor Doom changing the entire Marvel Universe, allowing readers to witness the triumphs and trials of his rule, while also showing a glimpse at the heroes who will try to stop him in his tracks.

Marvel recently revealed the lineup of variant covers for One World Under Doom #1, with contributing artists including John Tyler Christopher, Nick Bradshaw, Rod Reis, Will Sliney, Rose Besch and a special Hidden Gem Variant Cover by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. The series makes its debut on Feb. 12, 2025.

Newly revealed interior artwork from the first issue of One World Under Doom shows the Avengers, The Fantastic Four and other heroes in the Marvel Universe coming together as they prepare to fight back against Doom’s world conquest. Previous teasers for the event have compared it in scale to 2008’s Dark Reign, with Marvel teasing that while some of their legendary heroes will form a strike team to stop Doom, others will welcome his reign with open arms.

One World Under Doom Creator Calls Doctor Doom the “Ultimate” Villain

In Marvel’s press release showcasing the new artwork for the series, One World Under Doom writer Ryan North shared his thoughts on why Doctor Doom is such a compelling villain in the Marvel Universe. “Doom, to me, is the ultimate villain, because even when he loses he wins. He’s not some guy you can punch a bunch until he stops doing crimes: he’s a man who has thought deeply about how to achieve precisely what he wants, and how to ensure others are manipulated into supporting him.”

Series artist R.B. Silva teased that this Doctor Doom story will give fans something new that they haven’t seen in previous arcs featuring the legendary villain. “I’m loving that we’re bringing magic into the mix, and all the possibilities to make him as awesome as he’s always been,” Silva said. “I’m trying to give fans something a little different from what we’ve seen before, and I think the magic element can really make a difference. I hope fans enjoy it as much as I do. Also, this story has the tyrannosaurus rex version of Doctor Doom in it too, so you know there’s this baseline level of rad we’re trying to hit.”
