Doctor Strange #1 Is Not a One World Under Doom Tie-In But NYX #9 Is

Doctor Strange Of Asgard #1 is not a One World Under Doom tie-in despite being called one... but NYX #9 is one, despite not (Spoilers)

Spoilers… Spoilers… Spoilers… Today, there is one official One World Under Doom crossover title, Doctor Strange Of Asgard #1. And it is a cracker of a comic. But one thing it is not is a One World Under Doom crossover, despite the cover mast declaring it to be. It's even less of a One World Under Doom title than Weapon X-Men #1, which had the tiniest of mentions in one panel. Instead, Doctor Strange Of Asgard #1 has Doctor Strange recognising that Doctor Doom has taken his title as Sorcerer Supreme…

… indeed, everyone seems to have heard about it…

… but that's all. The One World Under Doom event with Doctor Doom taking over Midgard? That doesn't come up at all.

What's weirder is that NYX #9, also out this week, does recognise the events of One World Under Doom…

…but is not an official crossover. Not with One World Under Doom, anyway, as it is also taking part in the X-Manhunt crossover…

It's closer to the last issue of Fantastic Four, with the NYX crew living their lives, while Doom is in the ascendant. And we learn more of what Doctor Doom has done to New York as its regent, turning the Krakoan Treehouse into an armed quarantine zone hosting the Krakoan Seed, as teased in the Fall Of X and the recent Timeslide look into the future.

NYX does more for One World Under Doom than any of the other crossovers so far…

We learn that even the New York police are at Doom's beck and call. So yes, if you are following One World Under Doom, you might want to add NYX to your list, and feel free to skip Doctor Strange.

SORCERER SUPREME NO MORE! Doctor Doom tricked Doctor Strange into surrendering the title of Sorcerer Supreme. Now Doom is ruling the world, and Stephen Strange is… experiencing a bit of an identity crisis. Searching for purpose – and maybe revenge – he travels to Asgard to see if Thor's kingdom might be looking for a Sorcerer Supreme of its own. Loki's willing to help, but that help comes with a wicked catch, and Strange quickly realizes that becoming Asgard's top magical authority is going to be more complicated than he thought. Derek Landy (INFINITY WATCH) joins Carlos Magno (CAPTAIN AMERICA) to send Doctor Strange in a fantastical and ambitious new direction!

"X-MANHUNT" PART TWO! Charles Xavier is on the run, and his first stop is New York – but there are plenty of mutants in the city who want nothing to do with the most recent master plan of the disgraced Professor X! Will the return of their dearly departed mentor bolster the burgeoning community that calls itself NYX or tear everything they've built apart? What does Xavier want from the city? What is he willing to do to get what he wants? And – perhaps most alarmingly of all – who else is waiting in the wings to strike?!
