Avengers: Armageddon to intro new era for Earth’s Mightiest

Another new era for Marvel’s Avengers is about to be ushered in. That’ll come by way of Avengers: Armageddon, and a battle with Red Hulk.

Armageddon Assemble

Setting up to be a pretty influential event is Avengers: Armageddon. The crossover will kick off in June, and when it does, it’ll serve as something of a followup to 2024/25’s One World Under Doom. That’s not all though, as Marvel says it’ll also lead to a new era for one of its premier super-teams.

Before we get to the new Avengers though, there’s Red Hulk to talk about. Apparently, Thunderbolt Ross himself isn’t leaving Latveria. The man who is also the crimson-shaded Hulk has a Hulk squad at his side too, and they’re looking to keep Doom’s homeland locked up tight.

Opposing them will be Earth’s Mightiest Heroes of course, plus a cadre of additional superheroes from across the Marvel Universe. Helming the series will be writer Chip Zdarsky, with artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar. They’ll be taking a wide-range of heroes to war with Ross in the title, including Wolverine , as well as the FF and others.

While there’ll be familiar faces in that Avengers mix though, there looks to be a pair of surprises as well. The first of those come by way of David Colton, the new Captain America. And the second? That’d be a brand new hero, though just who it might be is still a mystery.

AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, a new event series by acclaimed writer Chip Zdarsky and rising star artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar, is set to transform Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in a way not seen since Avengers: Disassembled. Spinning out Zdarsky’s current run of Captain America as well as One World Under DoomWolverine: Weapons of Armageddon and more, the long-awaited saga sees some of Marvel’s greatest icons assemble against Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A the Red Hulk, whose takeover of Latveria puts the entire world in jeopardy. When the dust settles on the cataclysmic showdown, a new era of Avengers begins, complete with a bold new lineup that includes an all-new hero with unrivaled power.
