Doom battles the combined might of an entire world to maintain his control: But can even he stand against the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four...and every other hero on Earth? It seems like all hope is lost: until a desperate gambit gives the heroes exactly what they need to win! But Doom has a desperate gambit of his own: one that, though it's never been attempted before, combines all his sorcery and science into a single brutal attack. It all leads to a shocking conclusion - with consequences that will reverberate throughout the entire Marvel Universe in this penultimate issue!

One World Under Doom #8 is the penultimate issue but it delivers a hell of a punch. Marvel has kept it tight to their chest as to exactly what we can expect post this event and who is left standing and who isn't. The event as a whole has delivered in every way and this issue builds a crescendo that will pay off when the final issue drops. Read Full Review

As the penultimate issue, One World Under Doom #8 does a brilliant job of setting the board for a thrilling, potentially earth-shattering conclusion. You might be tired of the sheer scale, but you absolutely won't want to miss how this beautiful, brutal brawl finally wraps up. Read Full Review
Yes, we are beaten over the head with Valeria seeing Doom as her uncle and someone she can still talk to and stop. It is a very last-minute move. But to Ryan North credit he does a good job using this familial relationship to further push Doom to the point of no return. Read Full Review
For all its bombastic art and grand ambitions, One World Under Doom #8 achieves little beyond a spectacular visual rerun of events weve already seen. If the battle for Earth hinges on philosophical debates and endless do-overs, maybe Doom isnt the only one doomed to an eternal cycle. Readers might be, too. Skip the talk, savor the panels. Even flash freezes eventually melt, but this plot may never thaw out of repetition. Read Full Review
Plot
Doctor Doom has the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four overwhelmed. Not only do the heroes together fail to defeat him, but Reed Richards' strategy as SCIENTIST SUPREME almost kills him in the attempt.
Meanwhile, Valeria Richards contacts her godfather Doom on the Astral Plane to try to convince him to stop all this desire to be emperor and prove to everyone that he's better than her and that they were all wrong. Doom sends her back to Earth and ignores all of her requests.
Doctor Doom launches an attack using fractured magical energy crystals, causing all the heroes to fall. What he didn't realize is that Valeria was there. She falls mortally wounded, decapitated, and stabbed by several energy fragments. Do more
Yawn.
I'll give a 1.5 just because one of my absolute LEAST favorite character apparently gets killed.
