Wolverine Assembles the New Avengers as Captain America and Doom Fight for Their Souls in 'Armageddon'

This summer, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble for a battle that will define their next era in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON! The five-issue event series by superstar writer Chip Zdarsky and acclaimed artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar launches in June, and today, fans can learn about issue #3, on sale in August, which teases the team’s new post-Armageddon lineup. Avengers: Armageddon shakes up the Avengers in a way not seen since Avengers: Disassembled, kicking off when the team assembles to stop Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A. Red Hulk, from igniting a global conflict following his takeover of Latveria. 

The saga is currently being set up in Zdarsky’s hit run of Captain America (2025), as well as the Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon (2026) limited series which follows Wolverine and Dave Colton, a new Captain America introduced in Zdarsky’s run, as they team up to dismantle an all-new super soldier program. Along the way, the pair will unleash a mysterious power originating from another universe that will shift the tide of the coming battle with Ross—but at a heavy cost.
