"What If... The Multiverse Was Doomed?" Novel Announced by Marvel and Random House Worlds
Doctor Doom takes on the survivors of the previous four novels in the series.

For example, a new novel in the What If...? series will see Doom taking on Loki, America Chavez, Kitty Pryde, and Venom-Moon Knight for control of the Multiverse. More details below.
