Publisher Description. This summer, the Avengers undergo a transformation the likes of which haven’t been seen since Avengers Disassembled in Avengers: Armageddon, a five-issue series from writer Chip Zdarsky and artists Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar. Marvel Comics has revealed new variant covers for the debut issue, on sale in June, including the special foil cover by Kaare Andrews and a dramatic piece by Jerome Opeña.
Also check out the first look at the prelude story in Armageddon/X-Men #1 CGD 2026, available at participating comic shops on Comics Giveaway Day, May 2. Delivered by the event’s creative team, the can’t-miss story offers a terrifying glimpse at the cost of Marvel’s heroes’ explosive war with Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A. Red Hulk!
The stage for Avengers: Armageddon is being set in Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti’s run of Captain America and the recently launched Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon limited series by Zdarsky and Luca Maresca. The saga kicks off in Latveria where following One World Under Doom and the current arc of Captain America, Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross 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. It’s a watershed moment in Avengers history that leads directly into a new era of the title launching 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?!
