The final reckoning that leads to a major shakeup for the Avengers begins this June in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, a five-issue event series by superstar writer Chip Zdarsky and acclaimed artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar. Check out the cover for the second issue, which teases a new hero coming to the frontlines with power that outmatches both sides of the conflict.

Spinning out Zdarsky’s hit Captain America (2025) run and the recently launched Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon (2026) limited series, Avengers: Armageddon (2026) sees a colossal new lineup of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble to stop Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A. Red Hulk, from unleashing a devastating tear across the globe after his takeover of Latveria. Ahead of Armageddon, fans should continue reading Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon to learn more about who the new hero is and the mysterious origins of his abilities, which may pose an even greater threat to the world than Red Hulk.
