Doctor Doom Becomes Emperor of the Marvel Universe in 2025

This five-issue limited series will begin in February 2025 and is set six months after Doom becomes the Marvel Universe's new Sorcerer Supreme. He emerges from hiding and declares himself emperor of the world. The other world powers don't seem to opposed to this idea, and even the Avengers - who are the only ones who can stand in his way - start to question whether the world is better off under Doom's rule.
