NYCC | Enter the ‘Dungeons of Doom,’ if you dare, in January

Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Benjamin Percy and more engage in the ultimate heist — stealing the unguarded secrets of Doctor Doom.

Doom’s reign as sorcerer supreme and emperor of the world may be coming to an end soon, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be some fallout. At New York Comic Con, Marvel announced Dungeons of Doom, a three-issue miniseries that will find “a new cast of characters from various corners of the Marvel Universe” shifting through the wreckage of Latveria to find Doom’s secret weapons.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Benjamin Percy are co-writing the series, which will feature art by Carlos Magno, Robert Gill, Justin Mason and Georges Jeanty.

“Ben Percy is a kindred spirit, and we both love horror books,” Johnson said. “Without spoiling the events that lead up to this series, there’s going to be a big conflict in Latveria, and all these factions end up in a place they didn’t ever know that was there.

Written by Magdalene Visaggio (Girlmode) and illustrated by Noemi Vettori (X-Men Unlimited), Bride of Rocky Horror picks up seven years after that fateful night with Janet Weiss and Brad Majors. Janet has embraced a life of decadence and debauchery, but when a mysterious invitation reunites her with Brad, she’s pulled into a new mystery involving an enigmatic figure named Bridget Von Frankenstein.

“It was the safest queer art I had access to when I was young because my parents were both huge fans,” said Visaggio. “So to get the chance to look beyond it and see how it could have played out once that fateful night ended was a dream come true.”
