Marvel Comics Reveals New Details For Avengers: Armageddon

Avengers: Armageddon is nearly upon us, and Marvel Comics has given us some new details for the upcoming Comics event. 

Armageddon is coming from Captain America writer Chip Zdarsky and artists Frank Alpizar & Delio Diaz. This new 5-issue mini-series is going to transform the Marvel Comics Universe by the end of the run. Now, we are getting the build-up for this in the upcoming issues of Captain America and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon. 

Now, what we do know is this will lead 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.” 

The book’s official description reads: 

“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.” 

Variant covers are coming as well, from artists including:

• Kaare Andrews
• Jerome Opena

Now, before the first issue releases, on May 2nd, Marvel is dropping a Comics Giveaway Day issue for everyone to check out before the series officially drops. The creative team includes:

• Writers: Chip Zdarsky, Jed Mackay & Ryan North 
• Artists: Federico Vincentini, Frank Alpizar, Francesco Mobili & Delio Diaz
