Slugfest | Here Comes the DOOM! in Marvel’s February solicitations

Doom’s new order faces resistance from ‘Weapon X-Men,’ Deadpool and Miles Morales clash, and more.

Slugfest is a roundup of cool announcements about projects coming to a shelf near you. This edition focuses on Marvel’s February solicitations. Hit the links for more information.

Marvel’s One World Under Doom will kick into high gear in February, as the world’s savior in this past summer’s Blood Hunt event puts his new powers to use as the sorcerer supreme. Marvel announced the event back in October, which will be anchored by a miniseries by Ryan North and R.B. Silva. Originally that miniseries was going to be called The Rise of Emperor Doom, but it looks like Marvel elected to keep things simple and have changed the name of the series to match the event — One World Under Doom. That’s a good choice, although now it doesn’t have a reference to the classic David Michelinie/Bob Hall Marvel Graphic Novel Emperor Doom.

“One World Under Doom is a story I’ve been working on since 2023,” North shared. “This huge head start is such a gift when telling a story like this: I can make sure it all hangs together properly, and for other artists working on tie-ins with their books, I can share completed scripts instead of just an idea of what happens.”

All the Wolverines team up in ‘Weapon X-Men’

The four-issue miniseries by Christos Gage and Yildiray Çinar will feature Old Man Logan, Zombie Wolverine and more.

There was a time in comics when every book hitting the shelves from Marvel seemed to feature Wolverine, and now the publisher is taking things up a level by introducing a whole team of Wolverines.

Christos Gage and Yildiray Çinar will bring together Old Man Logan, Zombie Wolverine, Earth X Wolverine and more in Weapon X-Men, a four-issue miniseries that kicks off in March.

“Getting a chance to continue to explore the Marvel Multiverse in the pages of Weapon X-Men with the amazing Yildiray Çinar is the perfect Christmas gift!” Gage said. “A team of nothing but Wolverines…one of whom, Jane Howlett, has never been seen before? Against a threat from the pages of Original X-Men? With Yildiray Çinar, whose character acting is as brilliant as his action scenes and who has a George Perez-level of skill with crowds? Moving from one alternate Earth to another? Sign me up! We are packing a TON of action, story, character moments, pathos, and sometimes literally earth-shattering moments into these four issues, so don’t miss it!”
