This summer, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble for a battle that will define their next era in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON!
The five-issue event series by superstar writer Chip Zdarsky and acclaimed artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar launches in June, and today, fans can learn about issue #3, on sale in August, which teases the team’s new post-Armageddon lineup.
AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON shakes up the Avengers in a way not seen since Avengers: Disassembled, kicking off when the team assembles to stop Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A. Red Hulk, from igniting a global conflict following his takeover of Latveria.
