Superstar creators Jonathan Hickman and Sanford Greene are teaming up to tell the story of the Marvel supervillain fight of the century as they pit Doctor Doom against Galactus in a one-shot simply titled Doom this May.

"Growing up reading Marvel comics, I became fascinated by Doctor Doom and how he potentially is the center of the entire Marvel Universe!" Greene says in a statement accompanying the announcement. "He is one of my bucket list characters and this story is somewhat a love letter to Doom and Marvel."

I for one couldn't agree more - Doom is my personal favorite Marvel Comics character, so I'm excited for this one-shot. Hickman's return to Doom is enticing enough, but Sanford Greene as co-writer and interior artist is icing on the cake. 

"Sanford and I have been waiting to work together for quite a while, so when he told me that he’d come up with an amazing Doom story and he wanted me to help out, I jumped at the chance," Hickman states. "It's a giant-sized story about a giant-sized character and I can’t tell you how excited I am to get to write
