Marvel Comics Renames "Infamous Iron Man" As "Rise Of Doom"

Marvel Comics renames "Infamous Iron Man" as "Rise Of Doom" for 2026 ahead of Avengers Doomsday movie in a year's time



Article Summary

  • Marvel renames Infamous Iron Man as Rise Of Doom for a major 2026 Avengers: Doomsday movie tie-in.
  • Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's acclaimed Infamous Iron Man run is being reprinted in a new edition.
  • Original Infamous Iron Man trade paperbacks have skyrocketed in price, fueling demand for the reprint.
  • The Rise Of Doom collects all 12 issues, highlighting Doctor Doom's hero turn as the new Iron Man.

Marvel Comics is reprinting a lot of Brian Bendis volumes as a result of his return to Marvel Comics. As well as a lot of Doctor Doom comics ahead of the Avengers: Doomsday movie. And with Infamous Iron Man, there's both. However, it appears that some rebranding is underway, as seen in the Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev run on Infamous Iron Man, where Doctor Doom becomes the new Iron Man. Just as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr, is becoming their Doctor Doom. Somehow. With people seeking clues in this volume, the original six-issue paperback is now selling for seventy dollars on Amazon, while the second volume brings the twelve-issue run to around a hundred dollars, all in. This is why Marvel is reprinting both volumes in one book for just twenty dollars. And renaming the story from "Infamous" to "The Rise of Doom". Just in case you didn't realise what was going on here.
