by Ryan North, R.B. Silva (Artist), Ben Harvey (Cover Art)

FINALE! Doom has confronted all of Earth's heroes in battle - and he's won. What's more, he's used the magical power of Sorcerer Supreme to ensure that this victory has become a fixed moment in a thing that will stand forever, impervious to magic or time travel alike. But unbeknownst to Doom, in that climatic moment that can now never be changed, the seeds of Doom's downfall were also fixed for all eternity. Left with an intolerable defeat that cannot be changed, Doom makes a choice he can never undo - and the rest of the world will pay his price... ...it all comes down to this in the big finale of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM! If the Sorcerer Supreme falls, who will rise to take his place? Find out here!

About the author

Hi, I'm Ryan! I was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1980 and since then have written several books. You can read my Wikipedia page for more, or check out my author site at RyanNorth.ca!

I'm the author of the webcomic Dinosaur Comics (that's the comic where the pictures don't change but the words do, it's better than it sounds and I've also done crazy things like turn Shakespeare into a choose-your-own-path adventure, write a comic for Marvel about a girl with all the powers of a squirrel, or mess up walking my dog so badly it made the news.

I'm working on more stuff as we speak, hopefully it's good

Wow

The entire time of this story, I have been wondering how Doom would lose his power how he would lose everything he has gained. And in the end, it was the love of his goddaughter that did him in, and he walked to his end willingly like a man. Well done, Ryan North!!!

The last few pages when it’s reed and doom

And Reed says something that’s very adjacent to a certain political individual in current events

Meh. I clearly need to go back and read the entire series. Then maybe I'll have a better opinion for this book. The cover is awesome though, and has some serious Old Man Logan vibes going for it.

The interior art is hit-and-miss. Some of it is quite good; some of it leaves a bit to be desire. But maybe that is the "genius" of the interior art because the "best" artwork involves Doom interacting with "higher deities and gods" and the weaker artwork involves Doom interacting with "mere mortals". So that could be the genius of the artwork because of how it differentiates "between realms of existence" in the story.

Doom accidentally kills his goddaughter at the end of the prior issue and must give up something to right the wrong of his poor decision(s) and arrogance. It's funny - the man is a mass murderer, is egotistical, selfish, pig-headed, and wrong so many times, making poor decision after poor decision and constantly being defeated by the heroes of the world, and yet is portrayed as being somehow "worthy" of mercy from the Living Tribunal for having done something so "meritorious" that it warranted the Living Tribunal acting on Doom's behalf. I cry bunk and balderdash! Not that I am unhappy that Valeria was restored and lives, but it's funny how Doom is presented as making some kind of decision whose import is so great that it wipes out all prior crimes against humanity committed by this twisted genius. Unfortunately, this "death" on his part will probably not last because, you know, it's Victor von DOOM and the FF is nothing without having to periodically be opposed by Doom, beaten by Doom, and then come back to defeat Doom (again). And so the circle goes.

Reed Richards. It is funny how this man who is so smart pretty much never really seems to learn anything important. Like maybe not constantly nattering on like he does because he subconsciously thinks he knows everything and refuses to listen to Doom or any other opponents (and especially when it matters). Doom's rebuke was priceless, I will say that much: Silence. I will not spend my last moments here enduring your vain, facile, endlessly effete objections. I do like it when writers capture that level of arrogance when writing him 'cuz I don't think they are always successful.

It's okay. We'll see how much this storyline impacts the Marvel U at large. So many of these "big events" turn out to be nothing burgers in the long run that I do not have much hope about long term consequences for this series/event, either. We'll see if I turn out to be wrong.

Actually, kind of weak for Ryan North. He was clearly struggling with editorial mandates. Left to his own devices, he probably would have written a better story. It needed more of a framing device. Maybe a scene of Doom and Valeria playing some game in the past, which could then be referenced in the present.

*shrugs* I continue to be dissatisfied with the status quo where current fans are completely unaware of the fact Valeria was introduced as Doom's daughter, not Reed's, and she had obvious powers. Fans have been stuck with this powerless, daughter-of-Reed-and-Susan version for so long, and no one ever talks about her earlier self. I have held out hope this entire time that the teenage version of her REALLY WAS Doom's biological daughter, and then when Franklin reduced her to a fetus in Susan's belly, she still retained Doom's DNA. Even if chimerically, also sharing some of Reed's DNA as well.

But, no one has followed through with this.

I praise the turn of events at the end, the unexpected twist over the expected ending after Doom’s actions killed his beloved Valeria Richards. In the end the lesson is Doom have learnt from his previous encounters with heroes, and Reed Richards have permanently damaged him with the love of his daughter. Overall the big problems with this series is the lack of tension, the feeling that nothing is at stake; the idea that with almost absolute power, Doom would become a somewhat “benevolent” but still manipulative tyrant.

Victor giving up everything to save his goddaughter 😩

“But I betas of helping people, you helped yourself. You made fascism appealing, even attractive, you sold it go good people as a reasonable option — and it destroyed all of it touched…you sacrificed your own citizens to prop up a hollow promise of peace and prosperity, and when you were revealed, you demanded still more sacrifice, more suffering, just to keep yourself in power. And you have left our world a far worse place than you found it”

Okay Ryan north pop off king

this event, as all modern marvel events are, was bloated. however, the main storyline laid out in this book was quite compelling and north delivered on a satisfying ending that was quite emotionally satisfying. wanda as sorcerer supreme does not excite me... im more interested to see what becomes of victor after this event, especially as i really enjoy the way north writes him. either way, on to the next big dumb bloated event, and im glad FF can focus on self-contained stories now

[Truman W · Rating 3 out of 5]

a pretty solid ending to what was mostly a predictable and lackluster story. it definitely had its moments but was just kinda one of those events that probably isn’t the most memorable. by no means was it BAD but it definitely didn’t need to be nine issues long. the ending is pretty intriguing tho, seeing what happens to Doom and his effects will be cool to unfold in The Will of Doom. not too sure about the last page with Wanda but I guess we will just have to see what happens!

It ended with a whimper not a bang! I enjoyed this comic in general and series overall. I guess this could not have ended any other way. I loved the slow pacing of this issue compared with the previous ones. Ryan North did a great job.

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect ending to all the violence and destruction. Doom can never be defeated, only postponed. (This is a comic and he's too powerful. He'll be back.) Love destroyed him, as much as it redeemed him. I can't wait for the next stage.

[Rockito · Rating 4 out of 5]

This even was weak in the middle with all the Avengers nonsense and should have been just a short, Fantastic Four arc. As it is though, at least the ending was good and it left Reed Richards in a really though spot.

[Nicky · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've enjoyed this event and I've been positive in rating the issues, even if some beats seemed to repeat, as they individually have been great. This finale in particular definitely stands out for me and especially feels like it can standalone. Now what for Doom?

[Lizzy DeMarco · Rating 5 out of 5]

I only read this one issue of the run, but I have to admit it was very good. I picked it up because Wand'a next series started there on the very last two pages. I am excited to now go read Sorcerer Supreme #1
