One World Under Doom takes over the Marvel Universe
In 2025, One World Under Doom takes over the Marvel Universe! In addition to a core title highlighting the legendary supervillain’s ascent to power, Doom’s influence will resonate throughout Marvel Comics, especially in tie-in issues and related series. Today, fans are invited to discover one of the initial tie-ins from One World Under Doom, featuring a brand-new ongoing comic series about Red Hulk!
Debuting in February, Red Hulk features Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, who transforms into the Red Hulk, the very being he once despised. The series is penned by Benjamin Percy and illustrated by Geoff Shaw, who previously collaborated on the thrilling “Sabretooth War” storyline in WOLVERINE (2020). This new chapter coincides perfectly with the eagerly awaited appearance of Red Hulk in Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World, set to hit theaters on February 14.
Red Hulk kicks off when Doctor Doom imprisons Ross in Latveria to exploit his military skills. Ross’s only chance for freedom is to harness Red Hulk’s power like never before and launch an attack on Doom’s Kingdom from the inside! For a taste of what’s coming, don’t miss a special prelude story by Percy and Shaw later this month in INCREDIBLE HULK #19, the landmark 800th issue of Hulk.
Red Hulk RAGES INTO One World Under Doom!
Thunderbolt Ross – in a cell deep below the ground – is a prisoner of Doctor Doom and he is not alone. Brilliant military, criminal and political minds have been gathered against their will in a prison complex that serves as a “think tank” to help carry out Doom’s plan for global domination. But the Red Hulk has other plans! Guest starring Machine Man, Deathlok and more!

“When I learned about the One World Under Doom event, my mind immediately went to Thunderbolt Ross,” Percy explained. “A global takeover would not be tolerated by a man who bleeds red, white, and blue (but especially red). And his experience—as a soldier in the field, as a military strategist in the war room, as a walking weapon of mass destruction—would make him someone Doom would target well before he made his move.
“So I proposed a story in which Ross would be kidnapped by Doom and forced into a ‘Think Tank’ prison in which he would test out various war-time scenarios. That’s where we begin: in a book that does not give you a second to breathe. It moves and moves and moves with constant action and tension.
“Geoff Shaw is a brilliant and brutal artist who I worked with on the Wolverine/Ghost Rider crossover: WEAPONS OF VENGEANCE. We planned this not just as an action showpiece, but as a war book. Get ready for a Hulk-sized assault on the senses.”
“Hulk has always been my favorite Marvel character, so to play in this gamma irradiated sand box has been a dream come true,” Shaw added. “Add Doctor Doom to the mix, arguably the Villain-of-all-villains, and artistically it’s an embarrassment of riches. We’re going to rock your red socks off!”
“In INCREDIBLE HULK #19, we’ll discover Ross has been operating dangerous covert missions across the globe in the name of national security,” says series editor Mark Paniccia. “From this point on, Ben and Geoff bring intrigue and mystery paired with pulse-pounding action and shocking moments never letting their foot off the gas!”
