It’s one thing for Doctor Doom to take over the world as a benevolent-wait-actually-not-so-much dictator in Marvel Comics’ 2025 event series One World Under Doom — but what happens after he falls is going to leave the Marvel Universe in a much, much stranger place.

Marvel has already teased both that there will be a new Sorcerer Supreme in the aftermath of One World Under Doom, and outright announced that a United Nations team made up of Captain America analogs from around the world will be moving into Doom’s former kingdom of Latveria… but what about all of Doom’s technology and hidden secrets? What is going to happen to all of them? Starting in January 2026, it turns out we’re going to find out.

Announced during the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing panel at New York Comic Con 2025, a new series titled Dungeons of Doom will be launching focusing on that very question as superpowers race to claim the spoils of Doom’s former castle after the dictator’s defeat. There’s only one problem: Doom knows all, and Doom prepared for the eventuality that some — let’s called them ‘dolts’ — might want to loot his home when he’s not around. When an explosion sends the wannabe looters into a labyrinth no-one even knew existed, what seemed like a relatively simple retrieval mission becomes something else entirely: a mission to simply make it out alive.

This kind of thing needs its own hand-picked team to make it happen, and the creators behind this series are Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Benjamin Percy, Carlos Magno, Robert Gill, Justin Mason, and Georges Jeanty. Lenil Francis You provides the cover for the first issue.

Dungeons of Doom launches January 2026.
