ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM
The Emperor Strikes Back
ISSUES 1-3Superhero event comics aren’t designed to be subtle – they’re big, overblown tales of heroes tackling impossible threats. Marvel’s latest massive crossover decides to take on politics, and it’s not exactly surprising that it has ended up as quietly restrained as a sledgehammer to the face.
One World Under Doom picks up the plot thread from previous event Blood Hunt, in which metal-faced tyrant Doctor Doom hijacked the role of Sorcerer Supreme. Now, after months of silence, Doom has emerged from Latveria, declared himself Emperor of Earth, and begun using his powers to allegedly help humanity and save the planet.
