Doctor Doom is officially th♏e Sorcerer Supreme of E🦄arth, following the conclusion of Marvel's summer event Blood Hunt. He's nꦿow confronting the Avengers directly for the first time since taking up the man🍌tle in Avengers #19, and we've got a preview of interior pages leading up to their meeting.

That's not all that's going on in the preview, as we also learn that T'Challa is taking a brief leave oꦍf absence from the team to venture inside the Meridian Diadem, which imprisons thousands of captured people in its bizarre facets. 

T'Challa's embarking on a dangerous solo mission away from the Avengers may have something to do with the team's latest member𒊎, Storm, who is also his ex-wifꦬe, and the awkwardness that still exists between them following their divorce, a fact that is pointed out in these pages.

Here's the preview of Avengers #19 by writer Jed MacKay, artist Farid Karami, color artist Federico Blee, and letterer Cory Petit, along with th🏅e cover by Valerio Schiti and Federico Blee:

"Doom against earth's mightiest heroes! Doctor Doom puts the Aven🎶gers to the test! But what is the purpose of the Avengers?" asks Marvel's official description of Avengers #19. "To prove why Doom's way is not the right way, the Avengers will have to face their greatest threat - their own dark pasts! Meanwhile, T'Challa embarks on a clandestine mission…"

This seems to be part of the lead in to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming event series The Ri✱se of Emperor Doom, in which Doom declares himself ruler of the Marvel ♋Universe, which was just announced at New York Comic Con. And it's all part of the 'One W𒀰orld Under Doom' umbrella, which denotes Marvel's new, Doom-centric status quo.

Avengers #19 goes on sale October 23.

Robert Downey Jr. could be a perfect MCU Doctor Doom if he can nail these five things.
