Doctor Doom’s New Series Sounds Like a Sci-Fi/Horror Dungeon-Crawler

by

After almost a year of Doctor Doom ruling the Marvel Universe, his grip is weakening, and that will become even clearer when the story One World Under Doom reaches its exciting conclusion next month. But Marvel isn’t waiting for the finale – they’re already planning what happens next. Doom’s defeat will leave a power vacuum, and the new miniseries, Dungeons of Doom, will explore the fallout.

The new series will be written by acclaimed authors Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Benjamin Percy. It focuses on what happens when people try to loot Doctor Doom’s castle while he’s away, and the unexpected consequences they face. Expect plenty of surprises for anyone brave enough to enter Doom’s domain! Carlos Magno, Robert Gill, Justin Mason, and Georges Jeanty will provide the artwork.

What does Phillip Kennedy Johnson have to say about the new series?

Marvel announced a new series with a unique premise, as highlighted by Phillip Kennedy Johnson. He explained that writer Ben Percy shares his love for horror, and the series will center around a major conflict in Latveria. This conflict will lead different groups to discover a previously unknown location, essentially setting the stage for a horror anthology within the Marvel Universe. The story will explore various factions uncovering terrifying secrets that Doctor Doom had been concealing.

This miniseries connects with a new storyline in Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America comic. The action will shift from Captain America’s initial return after being frozen to the present day, bringing various governments to Latveria to divide power following Doctor Doom’s defeat. Despite public control being held by these governments, secret underground networks are also vying for influence.

Dungeons of Doom #1 is set to be released on January 14th.
