This summer, the Avengers undergo a transformation the likes of which haven’t been seen since Avengers Disassembled in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, a five-issue epic from writer Chip Zdarsky and artists Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar.
The stage for AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON is being set in Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti’s hit 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.
