Today, Marvel Comics publishes One World Under Doom #3 by Ryan North and R.B. Silva, as well as the tie-in title Avengers #25 by Jed MacKay and Valerio Schiti. And unlike some, this one really does tie in. But maybe they are at odds somewhat?
It turns out that Doctor Doom opening up all world borders completely freely has done wonders for the world economy. Who knew? Of course there are always some villains who want their own border…
Although, do bear in that Doctor Doom also has control of the world's media. Or does he? The question is, does he exercise his control or do people just do what he wants anyway? That's the question asked in One World Under Doom today.
In today's Avengers #25, another set of supervillains, a new Masters Of Evil, decide they want The Impossible City for themselves.
While One World Under Doom #3 has the Avengers inviting their own chosen supervillains to the Impossible City to plan a joint assault on Doctor Doom
Which does make for some weird intra-conflict of One World Under Doom titles. Those invading the Impossible City for themselves against Doom
Some villains are working with The Avengers in the Impossible City against Doom.
. It feels like there should be an easy answer here.
I understand that teamwork is meant to make the dream work.
But they seem to have their very separate and distinct team works going on here. And Sam Wilson is clearly doing better with one team…
… than he is the other. And while one team attacks with the perfectly prepared bullet…
The other seems happier to nuke them all from space. It's the only way to be sure.
Doctor Doom challenges the heroes and heroes-adjacent to actually do some good…
With the escaped inmates of the Raft about to attack New York City…
Maybe the Masters Of Evil's new plan may actually do some good.
But it turns out that Doctor Doom's plan wasn't mind controlling the world's leaders, replacing them with LMDs, or performing a voodoo spell to get them all to surrender.
He just took the time to talk with them. Negotiate. Put forward his proposals in a persuasive and compelling fashion over a long period of time. The Art Of The Deal one might say. Just with free healthcare, education and no war.
Given that, why bother controlling the media? They'll just do this anyway. And hey, in for a penny, in for a pound, hail Doom! One World Under Doom #3 by Ryan North and R.B. Silva and Avengers #25 by Jed MacKay and Valerio Schiti are both published by Marvel Comics today.
