Doom Takes On the Marvel Universe in ‘Doom All-On-One’
Marvel announced Doom All-On-One #1, an oversized one-shot written by Al Ewing with art by Alessandro Cappuccio, told across fifty landscape-oriented splash pages. Once a year on Midsummer Eve, when the barriers between worlds thin out, Doctor Doom descends into Hell to challenge Mephisto for his mother's soul, and this issue chronicles one of his most determined attempts at it.
Doom All-On-One #1 is on sale October 7th with a main cover by Cappuccio and variant covers by Greg Capullo and InHyuk Lee. Check out the covers and newly revealed interior pages below!
This time, Doom's challenge sends him up against the entire Marvel Universe at once. He has no allies and no backup, and he faces down not just the assembled heroes but one of his greatest enemies, all of it staged across the flames of the underworld. The book draws on a classic era of Marvel for its setting.
The one-shot continues a Marvel tradition of landscape-format storytelling. It follows 2025's Marvel All-On-One #1 by Ryan North and Ed McGuinness, a 50-page issue that pitted the Thing against a wide swath of Marvel's roster, and goes back further to John Byrne's Fantastic Four #252 from 1961, which told the team's trip into the Negative Zone entirely in landscape pages. Where the FF had each other, Doom makes his journey alone.
"The brief for this was fifty pages of Doom versus Everybody in explosive widescreen action, and I'd like to think I've delivered that and a little bit more," said Ewing. "I don't think any Doom fans will be disappointed by the Doctor's performance as we go back to one of the great classical eras of Marvel and knock seven bells out of it - not just against the heroes, but against one of Doom's greatest villains, too. The real star of the show in a project like this is the art, though, and Alessandro's risen to the challenge with page after page of all-out action you'll have to see to believe."
"Working on the pages of this comic was a challenge as I had never worked in a format like this before, so it was both fun and stimulating for me to find artistic solutions that best suited the project's needs," said Cappuccio. "I've always been fascinated by Dr. Doom, and I hope my passion for this character shines through the pages to the readers."
