Marvel Comics has unveiled a preview for the upcoming second issue of One World Under Doom, which shows things will not go well for the Fantastic Four, especially The Thing. The highly anticipated event launched on February 12 and finally saw Victor Von Doom change the status quo by assuming ultimate control, with Earth's heroes now looking to stand against the new conqueror.
Per Marvel, "In a brazen move they will live to regret, the Fantastic Four strike at Earth's beloved new leader while he delivers a rousing speech at the United Nations." The One World Under Doom #2 preview also reveals Doom confiding in Valeria Richards, the only person who commands his respect. Will Valeria share her uncle's vision for the world, or will she decide to side with her parents, whom Doom considers misguided and jealous? Series writer Ryan North and artist R.B. Silva will take readers through the triumphs and trials of Doom's regime over nine issues.

Following his seizure of the Sorcerer Supreme title in 2024's Blood Hunt, Doom used its legendary power to bring the world under his heel. In One World Under Doom #1, he successfully unites the planet under his leadership, and, alarming for many, Earth's leaders seemingly go along with it. Earth's heroes, including the Fantastic Four, become the last line of defense against his tyranny.
Series writer North is happy fans are excited about and already loving One World Under Doom. "I signed for three hours at Crossover Comics in Montreal on Wednesday to celebrate the launch, and it was busy non-stop the whole time," he shared. "I met a ton of great people—and, happily, had my first review there too, from a reader who read the issue while waiting in line for it to be signed."

North continued, "Thankfully, he really liked it. It's been fantastic to wake up in a snow-covered Montreal and see all the enthusiasm about the book. It's a story that's been in the works for years, so to finally have it out and so well-received is really gratifying."
