Publisher: Marvel Comics | Series: Doom 2099 | Issue: #1 (One-Shot) | Release Date: April 29, 2026 | MSP: $4.99
A direct sequel to the 2025 Doomed 2099 one-shot, Doom 2099: Rage of Doom #1 is one of Marvel's most explosive single issues of the year — a high-stakes, self-contained story that carries enormous weight for anyone following the current trajectory of Victor Von Doom across the Marvel multiverse. Writer Frank Tieri and artist Von Randal deliver a battle for the ages: Doom vs. Ultron, last man standing, in a world Doom himself destroyed.
In a shocking revelation, it is confirmed that Doom's own spell was responsible for wiping out all life on Earth in the 2099 timeline. Now a humbled, regretful sovereign living in a wasteland of his own making, Doom is desperate to repair his time machine and undo the genocide. His solution: unearth the severed head of Ultron. It backfires catastrophically. What follows is a “battle of the tyrants” as Ultron — awakened and furious — sets his sights on the last living human: Doom himself.
This one-shot is a critical chapter in Marvel's “Year of Doom” publishing strategy — a coordinated push building toward the Avengers: Doomsday film in 2027. Alongside Will of Doom and the Armageddon event, Rage of Doom is essential reading for anyone tracking Victor Von Doom's multiverse-spanning arc. With Doom's profile at an all-time high thanks to his appearance in Marvel Rivals, this is the perfect moment to dive in.
🤖 Fun Fact: The original Doom 2099 series, written by John Francis Moore and launched in 1993, was one of the most critically acclaimed titles of Marvel's entire 2099 imprint — praised for its political complexity and surprisingly nuanced portrayal of one of Marvel's greatest villains. Rage of Doom inherits that legacy and raises the stakes to apocalyptic levels.
