Marvel Comics has announced its new Thunderbolts team will face off against Doctor Doom in a special limited series. The new story begins in February and will be a part of the One World Under Doom event.

Thunderbolts: Doomstrike will see Doctor Doom assemble a new (and classic) iteration of Marvel’s iconic teams. Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Nyx) will write the five-issue limited series, with art by Tommaso Bianchi (Giant-Size Silver Surfer). Marvel announced the publication of Thunderbolts: Doomstrike will line up just in time for the Thunderbolts’ highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Thunderbolts*, which hits theaters May 2. Thunderbolts: Doomstrike #1 will be available in comic shops on Feb. 19.

Marvel’s solicitation for the series gives fans a first look at which members will be joining Bucky Barnes in the Thunderbolts team for Doomstrike as well as those who are plotting to end Doom’s reign of terror. “Doom took over the world. And Bucky Barnes helped him do it. To atone for his unwitting role in Doom’s triumph, Bucky assembles a team with one goal: burn it all down. But when Bucky’s saboteurs — including Black Widow, Songbird, U.S. Agent, Sharon Carter and a few surprise wildcards — launch a no-holds-barred campaign to tear Doom’s Empire apart, Doom decides to prove that revolution ends in blood…”

Thunderbolts: Doomstrike is one of many planned tie-ins that will launch as part of Marvel’s One World Under Doom publishing initiative. The Marvel Universe will be forever changed when Doctor Doom reigns supreme beginning this February. The publisher has teased that Doom’s rise to power will be anchored by a special One World Under Doom “anchor” series, where even some of Earth’s mightiest heroes welcome Doom’s reign with open arms.

Creators Say Thunderbolts are “Crucial” To Upcoming Doom Event

In Marvel’s press release for the new tie-in series, the writers of Thunderbolts: Doomstrike teased the role that the team will play in Doom’s new world order. “We can’t wait for folks to see what Ryan and company have planned for One World Under Doom – a Marvel event with brains, heart, and incredible scope,” Kelly and Lanzing said. “The Thunderbolts are a crucial part of the puzzle: this is the story of what happens when heroes openly oppose Doom…and how they’ll have to learn to fight differently if they’re ever to make a difference.

They continued to tease how other stories in the Marvel Universe have been building up to this new entry in the Thunderbolts’ legacy. “With returning characters and storylines we’ve been building since our run on Captain America; Sentinel of Liberty, plus new and returning Thunderbolts from all eras, Thunderbolts: Doomstrike is a whole new take on Marvel’s messiest, meanest superteam — a story about fighting the power, even if it costs you everything.”
