After a year of teases and a lead up in events like One World Under Doom and Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America, Marvel has released the first concrete details on this summer’s Armageddon event. That turning point arrives this June in Avengers: Armageddon, a five-issue event series from Zdarsky, Frank Alpizar & Delio Diaz, the artist duo behind Doomed 2099 and recent issues of Captain America.
Following key buildup in Captain America and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon, Avengers: Armageddon leads to a transformative shakeup of the team that Marvel is comparing to Avengers Disassembled.
And we all know how that turned out.
The saga begins in Latveria where Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A. Red Hulk, claims Doom’s homeland for himself, igniting a global conflict. When the Avengers assemble against him, explosive escalations will force them to unleash a power that changes how the world views their mightiest heroes forever. This pivotal chapter will lead directly into a new era of AVENGERS starting later this year.
Red Hulk’s devastating tear across the globe must be stopped…but it will take a colossal gathering of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to do it! Calling in the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Wolverine and more…but who will survive this super-powered cataclysm?! There will be a pre-Armageddon Marvel Universe and a post-Armageddon Marvel Universe. Be here to bear witness to the transformation.
