Doctor Doom isn’t going anywhere. Fresh off One World Under Doom no more than six months ago, The Great Destroyer is getting another mini-series. The House of Ideas unveiled Challenges of Doom, a series of one-shots that will see the eponymous villain fight some of his most iconic nemeses.
As of now, the five one-shots will see Doom fight Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Namor. With a release schedule of every-other-month, the series will run through next March, ensuring three of the issues will be released before Robert Downey Jr.’s version of the character joins the MCU via Avengers: Doomsday.
“CHALLENGES OF DOOM will pit the Lord of Latveria against some of the prime movers of the Marvel Universe as a way of illuminating different facets of Doom’s power, personality, intellect and skill,” Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort says of the series. “Through them, you’ll get a full picture of just why Doom is the greatest of all Marvel’s villains.”
According to the House of Ideas, every issue will be written by Al Ewing, with each issue featuring a different artist. Challenges of Doom: Mr. Fantastic #1 is drawn by Mike Henderson.
