Doom Rules All In Marvel Comics’ ‘Doomed 2099’ First Look
by Tony Thornley
Doctor Doom may rule the world but next month Doomed 2099 sees him face the greatest challenge to his power so far. Himself.
Debuting next month, Doomed 2099 is an extra-sized one shot from veteran writer Frank Tieri, and artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar in their Marvel Comics debut. The story sees Doom 2099, one of the darkest and most brutal versions of the character to exist, returning to the present day to confront Doctor Doom today. The confrontation sets off a multiversal conflict that will see some of the biggest characters from throughout the multiverse coming together to try to stop Doom.
The world is Doom’s…but does that include the world that is yet to be? A coalition from the future – including Old Man Logan, Rachel Summers, the Phoenix; Bishop, Cosmic Ghost Rider, the Maestro and Deathlok say otherwise. But will the arrival of Doom 2099 change the odds for the new Sorcerer Supreme? Is he there to back his past self…or destroy him forever?
“Look, I’ve widely been known as a ‘villains guy’ throughout my career so naturally when Marvel approached me to work on this event with not one but two of the greatest baddies of all time, well… it was an offer I couldn’t refuse, as they say,” Tieri shared. “And you’re not only getting ‘Double the Doom’ with this one shot, kids… ‘cause 2099’s bringing some friends from the future to even the odds! So is Doom 2099 looking to become the new Sorcerer Supreme? Or is his mission much more disturbing than that? I think fans will be surprised at the answer.”
Check out all six covers from the issue from Derrick Chew, Dan Panosian, Ario Anindito, Ken Lashley, Netease Games, and Claudio Castellini, as well as some first look story pages, and watch for Doomed 2099 in July from Marvel Comics!
