Marvel's Doomasaur Returns: Doctor Doom Dinosaur Roars Again in One World Under Doom

Millions of years after the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, Marvel's comic book covers are entering their Mesozoic Era. The publisher has announced that Dinosaur Doom -- the dinosaur counterpart of Victor von Doom, the new Sorcerer Supreme and Emperor of the World -- is set to rule the Earth once more in a series of variant covers marking Victor von Doom's reign over the Marvel Universe in One World Under Doom.

When Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing entered a portal to an alternate reality where dinosaurs never went extinct, the dictator Doom and Dino-Doom attempted to merge their two universes into one. The amalgamation would have created a bigger and better reality -- one subservient to Doom.

"I'm Victor von Doom," Doctor Doom told the heroes. "One universe was never going to be enough."

Doctor Doom's dinosaur counterpart battled the dinosaur Fantastic Four -- Reed (a stretchy T. Rex), Sue (an invisible triceratops), Johnny (a flying fire raptor), and Ben (a rocky pachycephalosaurus) -- and the Avengers: Captain America (a shield-slinging spinosaurus), Iron Man (an armored brachiosaurus), Thor (a parasaurolophus with an enchanted hammer), Black Widow (a winged quetzalcoatlus), Captain Marvel (a cosmic-powered lambeosaurus), and Doctor Strange (a sorcerer shantungosaurus).

"One World Under Doom opens after Doom has taken over the world overnight, and there is a mystery in how he did it, how he got everyone to acquiesce to his rule -- but there's also a bigger and more terrifying question: now that he's taken over the world, what is he going to do with it? And what will the Fantastic Four and the Avengers do to stop him?" North said when announcing the new series. "Also, this story has the tyrannosaurus rex version of Doctor Doom in it too, so you know there's this baseline level of rad we're trying to hit."
