(Image Source: Marvel Comics / Cafu)The Will of Doom #1 is a must read book. There are several reasons for this. It is of obvious interest to Fantastic Four fans and those charting the final fate of Doctor Doom. However, it is also of importance for those who wish to walk the road to Armageddon or are interested in the covert/espionage side of Marvel. Beyond that, it is just a ripping good yarn.

Will of Doom #1 does a great job of world-building in the aftermath of One World Under Doom. It sets up a global fail-safe for Victor's ego, but the real meat of the story is in the fallout. Read Full Review

Chip Zdarsky pens an intriguing story that left me wanting to know what's coming next, which is always the sign of a good story. He sets up several plot points that should be very intriguing to see play out. Together with artwork that is top notch, this is an issue you should have on your reading list this week.

Will of Doom #1 serves as a solid epilogue for “One World Under Doom.” It reflects on Doom's actions, some of what that meant, and delivers enough nuggets to tease what's to come. It's a “buy” for those who enjoyed the event serving as a solid final chapter or for those who are really invested in the greater Marvel Universe and what's to come. Read Full Review

The Will of Doom is less a blockbuster spectacle and more a deliberate chessboard reset for Marvel's next era. Chip Zdarsky prioritizes character, consequence, and political tension over explosive action, using Valeria, Sue Storm, and Thunderbolt Ross to explore who gets to inherit power after Doom's fall. While the issue may frustrate readers looking for nonstop thrills, it succeeds as thoughtful groundwork, quietly unsettling, emotionally grounded, and clearly positioning Doom's shadow as the defining force of what comes next.

The aftermath of One World Under Doom should be full of consequences to deal with. The world is a changed place. Zdarsky addresses a little bit of it here, but largely substitutes action for introspection and examination. That shortcoming, combined with clumsy commentary, makes The Will of Doom #1 an unfortunate follow-up to One World Under Doom. Read Full Review

To begin with, the book is written by Chip Zdarsky, a writer who is honestly a master of the Fantastic Four, and that makes a lot of difference in how the book reads. I remember back when the Marvel Two-In-One reboot came out under Zdarsky, and he proved how well he understood the team; I was hoping he'd get to write the reboot of the team that we eventually got. The Fantastic Four is one of Marvel's greatest groups, and Zdarsky is a creator who certainly understands the characters and how they all fit together. The dialogue in this book is great, all because of that understanding. This is a cool little Fantastic Four story, and that does a lot of heavy lifting. Read Full Review

The Will Of Doom #1 does not earn a place in a limited budget, especially with its inflated price tag. If you are desperate to know exactly where Ross is going or what Val is planning, you can probably just read a wiki summary later. Save your money for a book that offers a complete experience rather than just a preamble to an event you might not even want to read. Read Full Review

I have a feeling that Armageddon is actually going to be good.

I really enjoyed this comic. I loved Chip’s ability to write the Fantastic Four. He gave Sue so much emotion, after almost losing her daughter, of course she’d be overprotective. I like how he connected the Red Hulk’s comic to the rest of the 616. I would have loved to have seen Deathlok or Machone Man fro his title. This was a terrific way to take Marvel forward.
