Today's One World Under Doom Tie-Ins, Those That Do & Those That Don't

One World Under Doom Tie-Ins, Doom Academy #4, Superior Avengers #2, Iron Man #8, Thunderbolts Doomstrike #5 and Ultimates #12



Article Summary

  • One World Under Doom tie-ins vary wildly in relevance; some key titles barely connect to the main event.
  • Doom Academy sports the event banner but offers almost no real crossover with Doom's larger storyline.
  • Iron Man #8 isn't listed as a tie-in but engages with the event as much as official entries, plus union drama.
  • Superior Avengers and Thunderbolts probe deeper themes of democracy, media spin, and parallel Dooms.

Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers, but not massive ones. The One World Under Doom event is kicking off, with four books on the checklist: Doom Academy #4, Fantastic Four #32, Superior Avengers #2 and Thunderbolts Doomstrike #5.  In Fantastic Four #32, the family tries to restore The Thing after Doctor Doom's intervention, ends up destroying reality, and they are trying to put it all back. But nothing for One World Under Doom…

Fantastic Four #32

Though, despite having Dylan, son of Dormammu, currently attacking Doctor Doom and the Earth in the main One World Under Doom series, Doom Academy continues to have nothing to do with the event despite sporting the tie-in banner.

Doom Academy #4

Indeed, Superior Avengers has more relevant Dormammu content than Doom Academy, in just one asterisk.

While Iron Man #8, not on the One World Under Doom checklist, ties in with it as much as any other book.

As well as getting involved with union negotiations. Not sure which Tony Stark finds worse, Doctor Doom or the Teamsters.

Thunderbolts Doomstrike #5

Captain America makes the case against democracy in Thunderbolts: Doomstrike.

And Bucky Barnes joins in with their pro-terrorist rhetoric. I mean, they are indeed up against Doom. And hell, this is how the USA was founded, of course. But there will be issues. Talking of which.

Iron Man #8

Tony Stark threatens the unions with automation. Not only that, but…

Iron Man #8

He's already working with generative A.I. known as Iron.GPT. What could possibly go wrong there? Does it know how many fingers Tony Stark has?

Superior Avengers #2

Superior Avengers has Kristoff Von Doom making the case for the Superior Avengers… even as they hide their true future realities. As Tony Stark's negotiations hit the skids…

So while Tony Stark deals with the Black Widow getting involved in his business dealings…

Iron Man #8

The Black Widow has to deal with the Winter Soldier getting involved in hers.

Marvel Comics Spoilers

Only for the Winter Soldier's ex to turn up right at that moment. Which is how I am choosing to read this scene anyway. Any while the future of the Superior Avengers shows one way to deal with a Doom in one parallel universe…

Marvel Comics Spoilers
Superior Avengers #2

Another parallel universe version of Doom is working out to get rid of himself with time travel.

Ultimates #12

Doom makes his case as a necessary evil, Killraven makes the case that there is no such thing.

While Thunderbolts sees an enemy repent and fix certain media disinformation.

Fantastic Four #32 
Ryan North, Cory Smith
LAST ONE STANDING! "If you found yourself stranded somewhere in the universe with no knowledge of where you were, how quickly could you determine an answer to that question?" It's a thought experiment Mr. Fantastic had often challenged his children with – but now it's happening for real – to Valeria Richards! Valeria finds herself lost in a world she was never made – where even the Fantastic Four have been taken from history! But how could a world without the FF have survived the myriad threats it must have faced? What does it mean that the only heroes left are Jean Grey and Namor, the Sub-Mariner? And what does her brother, Franklin, have to do with all of this? See Val make a shocking choice you won't want to miss…with consequences that will last for the rest of this run!
