G.O.D.S.: ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #1 lands — an apocalyptic debut for Marvel’s new saga

Doctor Doom’s global conquest meets ancient magic in this oversized one‑shot. Wyn, the living Avatar, drags a disillusioned apprentice into a crisis that could reshape Earth. Ryan North and Francesco Mortarino deliver a standalone entry that’s both easy to jump into and dread‑filled.

Marvel’s newest limited adventure drops as an oversized one‑shot, bringing the G.O.D.S. mythos straight into the heart of the Marvel Universe. The premise is simple yet colossal: Victor Von Doom has fused science and sorcery to rule the planet, and the fallout lands on a fresh set of eyes.

At the center of the chaos is Wyn, the sole living embodiment of an ancient magical force. He’s compelled to understand Doom’s takeover and, more importantly, to stop it. His reluctant apprentice, college‑aged Mia DiMaria, is weary of magic, skeptical of science, and frankly fed up with serving Wyn. Doom sees untapped potential in her and offers a dangerous bargain—freedom at a steep price.

The creative team makes this debut feel essential. Writer Ryan North, known for weaving humor with heavyweight concepts, gives the story a breezy yet thoughtful tone. Artist Francesco Mortarino renders the clash of high‑tech weaponry and eldritch effects with crisp, kinetic panels, while Valerio Schiti’s cover captures the looming dread of a world under Doom’s thumb. Because it’s a self‑contained issue, newcomers can dive in without any prior reading.

If you’re looking for a Marvel story that balances accessibility with a sense of planetary stakes, this is the perfect entry point. Grab the issue when it lands on July 30, 2025, and see how a scientist‑magician hybrid threatens everything we know.
