World's Doom Appointed Emperor in Marvel's Upcoming Major Event, According to Panel Discussion
In the world of Marvel Comics, several exciting new series are on the horizon, with "The Rise of Emperor Doom" set to be a major highlight. This five-issue miniseries, set to release in February 2025, appears to be closely tied to the ongoing "One World Under Doom" crossover event, where Doctor Doom has taken on the role of Emperor Doom.
In "The Rise of Emperor Doom", Doctor Doom, now self-styled as Emperor Doom, has magically taken control of every broadcast medium on the planet, declaring himself Emperor of the World. The story explores his iron-fisted governance, power struggles, propaganda, shifting loyalties, and the consequences of his rule. The series is written by Ryan North, with Ben Harvey as the cover artist for issue #1.
Doctor Doom's rise to power involves secret organizations, emissaries, and the acquisition of alien technology to consolidate his power. Key storylines include magical confrontations, as seen in the Doctor Strange and Doom Academy books, and the Fantastic Four’s efforts to challenge his rule. This series reflects a rebooted Marvel Universe theme post-Avengers: Secret Wars, with Doctor Doom potentially transitioning into a hidden, more strategic villain, ruling a patchwork reality called Doomverse or Battleworld.
Meanwhile, Luke Cage returns to the modern Marvel Universe in "Power Man: Timeless", a five-issue miniseries also set to release in February 2025. In this series, Luke Cage, after his return from outer space, faces a foe and a mystery that will challenge his incredible abilities. The series is written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with Bernard Chang as the artist.
Another exciting addition to the Marvel lineup is "Astonishing Spider-Man Infinity Comic", a new series available today. The series features Spider-Man about to run into serious trouble, with the plot details yet to be revealed. Scott Aukerman is writing this series, with Salva Espin as the artist.
Lastly, "Ultimate Wolverine", an ongoing series set to release in January 2025, promises an action-packed storyline. The premiere story arc features Magik, Colossus, and Omega Red deploying the Winter Soldier. The series is written by Chris Condon, with Alessandro Cappuccio as the artist.
These new series promise to add fresh and exciting dimensions to the Marvel Universe, with a mix of familiar faces and new challenges. Stay tuned for more updates on these upcoming titles!
