Jonathan Hickman and Sanford Greene will team for a battle for the ages, as Doctor Doom battles Galactus “to save all that is and to try to attain a cosmic status that he’s only ever dreamed of.”
The one-shot Doom will arrive in May from Marvel, based on a story idea by the Bitter Root co-creator.
“Growing up reading Marvel Comics, I became fascinated by Doctor Doom and how he potentially is the center of the entire Marvel Universe!” Greene said. “He is one of my bucket list characters and this story is somewhat a love letter to Doom and Marvel.”
Doom will have help in this battle from the one person who he likes and who actually likes him, his goddaughter Valeria Richards:
In the near future… Doom alone must save the marvel universe! Witness Doctor Doom on a journey unlike any he has undertaken before! With Valeria Richards at his side, Doom goes on a quest to harness more power than any human has ever wielded before in order to try to stop Galactus from bringing about the death of the universe!
“Sanford and I have been waiting to work together for quite a while, so when he told me that he’d come up with an amazing Doom story and he wanted me to help out, I jumped at the chance,” Hickman said. “It’s a giant-sized story about a giant-sized character and I can’t tell you how excited I am to get to write Doom again.”
Look for it in stores on May 15.
