A new villain, a Latin in war and the future of the Marvel universe at stake

When it seemed that the stadium of A world under fate I was about to close without too many shocks, Marvel released the bomb: In December it will arrive The will of Doom #1a special written by Chip for free With drawings by Cafu which will explore what remains after the fall of the Monarch of Latveria. And it is not a prologue: this comic will work as a bridge towards the New era of the Marvel universe.

The story begins in the ruins of the kingdom of Doctor Doomwho, after losing control of his nation, left a legacy of secrets, hidden weapons and enemies eager to take advantage of the void of power. Among these, two names that put the suggestions: Red Hulk (Thunderbolt Ross) and the mysterious SalvationA new villain with direct bonds with the tragic past of Latveria.

The will of fate

In The will of Doom #1we will see the Fantastic Four Fighting with the consequences of the Doom dictatorship, while a new global danger begins to appear. Zdarsky promises that it will not be a simple epilogue, but the declaration of intentions of what is coming: “Doom always has a plan“, The screenwriter advances.

To this is added the appearance of Red HulkStill resentful for his imprisonment during Doom’s mandate. His return will be intertwined with the fate of Latinia and could make it a key player in the next conflicts.

Captain America takes over

The other big piece of puzzles will be Captain America #6with art of Frank Alpizar y Delio díazWhere Steve Rogers It will be deployed in a Latinia on the margins of the civil war. Among the rival factions, rumors about hidden arsenals and hidden agendas, the sentinel of freedom will have to face the definitive question: is it possible to bring peace to Latinia or chaos is inevitable without jumping on the throne?

Zdarsky summarizes him with a poisoned dart: “A latveria with Doom in command is incredibly dangerous. A latinia without Latinoma in command is even worse“.

Doom’s legacy is still alive

The most intriguing of all this is that, although his kingdom is over, the echo of Doom resonates in every cartoon. His secret plans, his experiments and his hidden alliances threaten to reconfigure the entire advice. It is clear that Marvel is preparing a phase in which the Dr. Doom will continue to be an omnipresent shadoweven without being physically in power.

The introduction of Salvation As a new antagonist strengthens that idea: a character who does not derive from nothing, but is deeply connected to the history of Latinia. The mystery around his identity and motivations promises to play a lot in the coming months.

A look at the past, a world under fate

To understand the weight of this transition, you have to look back. A world under fate It was an event that placed Doom as a global sovereign, showing not only its military and technological power, but also its absolute vision. Although his fall seemed inevitable, the arch clarified that his decisions, both in Latinia and in the rest of the world, would have had lasting consequences.

The result showed him desperate, trying to keep an empire that crumbled. But, like a good strategist, Doom left pieces positioned on the scoreboardensuring that your influence does not disappear suddenly. And that’s where it enters this special way in December: it is not a closure, but the beginning of a new game.

Echoes in the Marvel Universe

Interest in The will of fate It is not limited to Doom fans. His shadow reaches the characters like Captain Americalos Fantastic Four And probably more heroes who will discover that the war in Latinia can have side effects throughout the planet.

Furthermore, the return of Thunderbolt Ross Como Red Hulk It is not a simple cameo. His revenge against Latveria opens its doors to international conflicts, military clashes and new political tensions within the Marvel universe. Ross, remember, is not a bad guy: his personal motivations and his ability to manipulate institutions make him a first level threat.
