Published on July 23, 2025

Doomed 2099 Issue 1 (2025) arrives as a pivotal one-shot in Marvel’s “Year of Doom,” bringing the enigmatic Doom of 2099 to the present day for a confrontation that will send shockwaves through the time stream . Written by Frank Tieri, a self-proclaimed “villains guy,” with the Marvel debut of artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar, this 32-page one-shot is priced at $4.99 and rated T+ .

The issue is a direct tie-in to the events of One World Under Doom, serving as both a prelude to the events of Rage of Doom and a standalone time-travel epic that pits the future version of Victor Von Doom against his past self, with the fate of the new Sorcerer Supreme hanging in the balance .

The premise of Doomed 2099 Issue 1 (2025) is built around a coalition of future heroes determined to stop the Sorcerer Supreme Doom from making a catastrophic mistake. This team, composed of alternate future versions of iconic Marvel heroes, includes Old Man Logan, Rachel Summers as Phoenix, Bishop, Cosmic Ghost Rider, the Maestro, and Deathlok . They have traveled back in time to confront the present-day Doom, but the arrival of the mysterious Doom 2099 threatens to change the odds, leaving everyone questioning his true allegiance: is he there to back his past self or destroy him forever? .

The creative team behind Doomed 2099 Issue 1 (2025) has crafted a story that has been described as one giant fight issue, with teases of battles that have come before, but it is the ending that truly elevates the comic, adding a layer of melancholy that makes Doom 2099’s mission feel surprisingly noble . The artwork by Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar, with colors by Andrew Dalhouse and letters by Travis Lanham, packs a lot into its pages as the heroes battle it out with the Sorcerer Supreme . The visuals shift smoothly from straight sci-fi to a chaotic battle royale, and then to a tragic, melancholic ending that recontextualizes the entire narrative .

The issue has been praised for its ability to pivot tonally without feeling out of place, and the creators use the visuals to play off the more comedic moments Tieri throws in, ensuring that none of it feels jarring . The comic is also notable for its high collectibility, featuring a main cover by Derrick Chew, a foil variant by Dan Panosian, a 1:25 variant by Ario Anindito, a Ken Lashley variant, a Claudio Castellini variant, and a special Marvel Rivals variant cover that spotlights Doom’s design from the hit video game by Marvel Games and NetEase Games .

The character dynamics in Doomed 2099 Issue 1 (2025) are the heart of the story, with the uneasy alliance between the two Dooms creating a tense and unpredictable dynamic. Writer Frank Tieri excels at writing both versions of the character, capturing the unabashed arrogance of Doom 2025 and contrasting it with a regretful and tempered Doom 2099 . They feel like two men at different points in life, and that is exactly how it should be .

Doom 2099’s design, described as “peak” by one reviewer, is a perfect blend of the 2099 aesthetic and the iconic look of comics’ most iconic villain, with the mask’s glowing red eyes in particular making Doom’s gaze even more menacing .

The issue also features Cosmic Ghost Rider, who shines in this issue, providing some comic relief to a rather serious grimdark future tale . The significance of Doomed 2099 Issue 1 (2025) extends beyond its immediate story, as it serves as a vital piece of the larger “Year of Doom” publishing strategy, tying directly into the events of the One World Under Doom event and the subsequent Rage of Doom one-shot .

The issue also serves as a spiritual sequel to the original Doom 2099 series, which was one of the most critically acclaimed titles of the original 2099 line, praised for its political complexity and its surprisingly nuanced portrayal of one of Marvel’s greatest villains .
