In the vibrant world of comic books, the month of February 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting and eventful time for fans. One of the most significant happenings is Marvel's massive new event, "One World Under Doom," which kicks off on February 12, 2025. This nine-month-long saga sees Doctor Doom ascending to the role of Sorcerer Supreme, plunging the Marvel Universe into a dramatic and potentially catastrophic era. The main series, "One World Under Doom #1," is just the beginning, with several spin-off titles set to explore the far-reaching consequences of Doom's reign[1][4].
Alongside this monumental event, Marvel is also reviving some beloved characters and introducing new stories. For instance, "Power Man: Timeless #1" returns on February 5, 2025, picking up after the death of Danny Rand and promising a compelling narrative from writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, and artist Bernard Chang. Additionally, "Star Wars: Legacy Of Vader #1" debuts the same day, offering a new tale of Kylo Ren set between "The Last Jedi" and "Rise of Skywalker," crafted by the experienced duo of Charles Soule and Luke Ross[4].
In other Marvel news, the Thunderbolts are making a comeback with "Thunderbolts: Doomstrike #1," where the original team reunites to face off against a group led by Winter Soldier. This release is particularly timely, given the upcoming "Thunderbolts" movie. Moreover, General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross is back in action with "Red Hulk #1," coinciding with the release of "Captain America: Brave New World," where the Red Hulk is set to appear as a villain[1].
Over at DC Comics, February 2025 is also packed with exciting releases. The "New Dawn of DC" continues to unfold with titles like "Justice League Unlimited #4," where Wonder Woman battles the formidable Tetracide, and "Justice League: The Atom Project #2," which sees Nathaniel Adam grappling with his atomic superpowers and a brewing mutiny within the science team. Another highlight is "Zatanna #1," which delves into the magical world of Skartaris and involves the entire Flash Family[3].
Additionally, DC is celebrating Black History Month with special variant covers for titles such as "Black Lightning #4" and "Justice League Unlimited #4," featuring artwork by notable artists like Ryan Benjamin. These releases not only showcase compelling storylines but also honor the diversity and richness of the comic book universe[3].
As the comic book industry continues to evolve, it's clear that both Marvel and DC are committed to diversifying their offerings and appealing to a broader audience. Despite historical gender and racial disparities, recent efforts have led to the introduction of more female and diverse characters, such as the new female Thor and Ms. Marvel, who have garnered significant acclaim and fan support[2].
In summary, February 2025 promises to be an exhilarating month for comic book enthusiasts, with major events, character revivals, and a commitment to diversity that is set to captivate both long-time fans and new readers alike. Whether you're following the epic rise of Doctor Doom or the magical adventures of Zatanna, there's something for everyone in the vibrant world of comics this month.
