What They’re Saying:

  • Ryan North, Author: “I thought we'd left Doom in a really interesting place with the events of One World Under Doom, and I was looking forward to seeing what others do with him now - and I still am! But when the chance came up to do an evergreen Doom story - meaning one set not in the immediate present but instead in the not-too-distant past, unshackled from his current status quo - it was really alluring, especially when I was told I could go as big and as crazy as I wanted. In short, this is the fun one: Doom at his absolute Doomiest as he careens his way through a quest through time, rewriting history in his image - all to ennoble and exalt his beloved Latveria. It's fun, it's bombastic, and I can promise some absolute banger Doom moments (and speeches!) in it.”
  • Francesco Mobili, Illustrator: “I'm super excited to be part of this great new project! It has been a long time since I last worked as an interior artist for a Marvel book, and I can't imagine a better way to come back! Doctor Doom is one of the greatest villains in comic book history, and Ryan North is one of the most brilliant writers we have in the industry right now. This mix makes it super fun to draw, page by page, and I'm loving everything about Ryan's writing here. I can't ask for more, and I can't wait for you to see what we're cooking up!"
