This May, behold what makes DOCTOR DOOM Marvel’s greatest supervillain in DOOMQUEST! The ten-issue maxi-series will be written by current FANTASTIC FOUR (2025) scribe Ryan North, following his masterful work on Doom in ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM (2025), with interior artwork by acclaimed artist Francesco Mobili (DAREDEVIL). No one in Marvel Comics history has had greater triumphs—or more bitter defeats—than Doctor Doom. Now, see him embark on his most ambitious quest yet in this definitive new DOOM saga from two industry superstars.
A standalone, evergreen story, DOOMQUEST provides a perfect introduction and all-encompassing exploration of the character as he journeys through time to achieve glory for Latveria—and the ultimate victory over his archenemy Reed Richards! It’s a wild and adventurous odyssey that takes readers into the heart of Victor Von Doom, across edges of reality, into action-packed battles you can’t see anywhere else, and beyond! Fans can get a sneak peek at the series by picking up ARMAGEDDON/X-MEN #1 CGD 2026 on May 2, Comics Giveaway Day™, at their participating local comic shop.
THE DAYS OF DOOM!Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparalleled sorcerer and the ruler of his own nation. He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more. And when Reed Richards – Mister Fantastic, his greatest enemy and eternal rival – is showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn’t even invited, Doom is outraged.
Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended – across all of time and space!
On returning to the character after ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, North said, “I thought we’d left Doom in a really interesting place with the events of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, and I was looking forward to seeing what others do with him now - and I still am! But when the chance came up to do an evergreen Doom story - meaning one set not in the immediate present but instead in the not-too-distant past, unshackled from his current status quo - it was really alluring, especially when I was told I could go as big and as crazy as I wanted. In short, this is the fun one: Doom at his absolute Doomiest as he careens his way through a quest through time, rewriting history in his image - all to ennoble and exalt his beloved Latveria. It’s fun, it’s bombastic, and I can promise some absolute banger Doom moments (and speeches!) in it.”
“I’m super excited to be part of this great new project!” Mobili added. “It has been a long time since I last worked as an interior artist for a Marvel book, and I can’t imagine a better way to come back! Doctor Doom is one of the greatest villains in comic book history, and Ryan North is one of the most brilliant writers we have in the industry right now. This mix makes it super fun to draw, page by page, and I’m loving everything about Ryan’s writing here. I can’t ask for more, and I can’t wait for you to see what we’re cooking up!"
Que sont les evergreen story ?
Des histoires dans le passé ?
Non, plutôt des histoires faciles d’accès (car multi-réédités), auto-contenues (des sagas sous cloche) et souvent recommandés comme points d’entrée pour le nouveau lecteur (cette licorne).
Pas très convaincu par les choix editoriaux.
Tres grosse surreprésentation des oeuvres modernes.
Le black panthers de coates, sérieusement ?
Et donc, ils decident à l avance desormais quelles seront les les futurs oeuvres toujours reeditees ?
Doom powa !!!
Parce que c’est le plus proche du Black Panther du MCU qui est la norme pour le très grand public.
A terme, Ultimate Black Panther y sera aussi dans cette même veine.
C est sur.
j’adore cette capactié du masque de fatalis à démontré des émotions, je trouve ça toujours incroyable.
C’est joli.
Quand est-il revenu le pépère ?
Il n’est pas encore revenu puisque cette maxi-série (focalisé sur ses voyages temporels) se déroule dans le passé.
Marvel propose deux numéros pour le Comics Giveaway Day, dont l’un centré sur Avengers: Armageddon / X-Men / Doomquest.
Le segment Doomquest montre l’action d’un Doombot pour détourner de l’énergie afin d’alimenter la Latvérie pour renouveler la machine temporelle de Dr Doom, et la lutte contre des super-héros.
Bon, c’est court et dispensable mais la narration via le Doombot est bonne et les dessins sont jolis. Inutile mais bien écrit.

Sympathique et efficace. Ryan North lance sa saga « prétexte » pour mettre en avant Dr Doom, et il le fait bien, après l’avoir déjà bien géré dans les 4F et One World Under Doom. Ici, à une période indéfinie, Victor apprécie peu que la Latvérie avance si peu dans le concert des Nations, du fait de la pauvreté du pays. Quand il voit une interview de Reed évoquant ses pensées sur le fait de pouvoir transformer l’Histoire et tous les Univers parallèles en projetant un esprit dans le Temps afin de modifier « manuellement » des éléments marquants afin d’impacter toutes les Réalités, il décide de réaliser cela pour améliorer la Latvérie. Il force son peuple à créer pendant un an un Doom Engine, qu’il va lancer mais… les Avengers et 4F tentent de le stopper. Johnny l’aide étonnamment à rejoindre Reed qui démontait le mécanisme, ils se battent et, plutôt que d’arriver lors d’un sommet diplomatique où la Latvérie a perdu des atouts, Victor se retrouve… en 1912, à bord du Titanic !
C’est sympa’, oui. Le scénario gère bien Doom et l’ensemble, même si la fin ne fait qu’aboutir au pitch de base. Les éléments sont cependant bien gérés, bien amenés, bien organisés même, avec un Victor bien écrit, une belle idée SF et de belles confrontations. Francesco Mobili propose de bonnes pages, même si je ne suis pas fan de son masque sur Victor.
Un bon début.
Doctor Doom has been sent back in time – without his armor, and without any technology, but with the only thing he’s ever needed: his MIND. Unfortunately, the date he’s been sent to is April 15th, 1912. The place he’s been sent to is the North Atlantic. And the name of the ship he now finds himself on is the RMS Titanic. But Doom will not allow himself to be caught, and Doom will not allow himself to be destroyed. He rails against fate, determined to rewrite history – no matter what it costs him or anyone else. And now Doctor Doom faces his greatest challenge yet – and he refuses to go down with the ship.
