This new one-shot is coming from Writer Al Ewing and Artist Alessandro Cappuccio. This will be following in the footsteps of the Marvel All-On-One one-shot from last year. Now, unlike other Marvel one-shots, this one will be told entirely with landscape-oriented splash pages. 

The book’s official description reads:

“… AND DOOM HAS THEM OUTNUMBERED!

For decades, Doctor Doom challenged the demon Mephisto as only DOOM would dare — because he could! And also for the freedom of his mother’s soul! This is the tale of his greatest such challenge — as Doom battles the entire Marvel Universe across the searing flames of perdition itself! Does the Marvel Universe have a hope in literal heck? Find out, Doom Believers — across fifty, count ’em, FIFTY wide-screen pages of the eschatological brawl to end ’em all!” 

Writer Al Ewing had this to say about the new one-shot: 

“The brief for this was fifty pages of Doom versus Everybody in explosive widescreen action, and I’d like to think I’ve delivered that and a little bit more. I don’t think any Doom fans will be disappointed by the Doctor’s performance as we go back to one of the great classical eras of Marvel and knock seven bells out of it – not just against the heroes, but against one of Doom’s greatest villains, too. The real star of the show in a project like this is the art, though, and Alessandro’s risen to the challenge with page after page of all-out action you’ll have to see to believe.” 

Artist Alessandro Cappuccio added: 

“Working on the pages of this comic was a challenge as I had never worked in a format like this before, so it was both fun and stimulating for me to find artistic solutions that best suited the project’s needs. I’ve always been fascinated by Dr. Doom, and I hope my passion for this character shines through the pages to the readers.” 

Doom All-On-One releases October 7th.
