'Avengers: Armageddon' Changes the Face of Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Witness the origin of the end! The last year of Marvel Comics storytelling, particularly the events of One World Under Doom (2025) and Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America (2025), have been building towards a watershed moment in Avengers history. That turning point arrives this June in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, a five-issue event series from Zdarsky, the superstar writer known for his defining and Eisner-nominated work on Daredevil (2019), and rising stars Frank Alpizar and Delio Diaz, the artist duo behind Doomed 2099 (2025) and recent issues of Captain America.

Following key buildup in Captain America and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon (2026), AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON leads to a transformative shakeup of the team—the likes of which haven’t been felt since Avengers: Disassembled. 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.

ARMAGEDDON HAS ARRIVED!

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.
