DOOMQUEST #1 pits Victor Von Doom against Reed Richards in a race across time


When Reed Richards unveils a plan to rewrite humanity’s past, Victor Von Doom cannot stand idle. The debut issue of DOOMQUEST throws the Latverian monarch into a temporal showdown that drags the Fantastic Four through the ages, promising high‑stakes action and a fresh look at one of Marvel’s most complex villains.
DOOMQUEST arrives as a brand‑new Marvel miniseries that puts Doctor Doom at the center of a story about rewriting history. The launch issue sets up a clash of intellects that stretches beyond any single battlefield, offering readers a chance to see the iconic monarch confront a threat that reaches into every era of human conflict.
The conflict ignites when Reed Richards, ever the idealist, unveils a retirement project that aims to travel back and correct humanity’s wasted wars, saving countless lives. Doom, offended by not being invited and fundamentally opposed to the notion of reauthoring the timeline, decides to beat Reed to the punch. As the Fantastic Four intervene, the narrative rockets across centuries, delivering battles that span both ancient battlefields and futuristic vistas.
What makes this first issue stand out is the creative team. Writer Ryan North brings his trademark cleverness and narrative momentum, while artist Francesco Mobili delivers sweeping, kinetic panels that capture the scale of temporal warfare. The cover, painted by Alex Ross, frames Doom in a heroic pose that hints at the epic scope inside. As an evergreen entry, the book serves as an accessible introduction to Victor Von Doom’s ambitions and moral complexity.
If the idea of a hero trying to edit the past intrigues you, consider picking up the current Fantastic Four #1. That series lays out Reed’s motivation in its original form, giving extra context to the stakes explored in DOOMQUEST and showcasing the team that will inevitably cross paths with Doom’s machinations.
The issue lands on May 27, 2026, and provides a self‑contained adventure that also opens doors to deeper Doom lore. Stop by the shop to grab a copy and see how Victor Von Doom tackles a challenge that could reshape the entire timeline.
