Since we’re months away from 2026, Marvel Comics is hyping up a significant occasion it’s obtained deliberate for the Avengers.
That will be Armageddon, first teased final week as an occasion on par with Avengers: Disassembled when it comes to signficance. All that’s know is that Captain America author Chip Zdarsky will likely be on the helm, and that it’ll contain the Origin Bins seen within the soon-to-end Final Universe. These containers created completely different heroes within the Ultimate universe like Spider-Man and Luke Cage, and within the pages of Final Spider-Man: Incursion, Miles Morales has lately introduced a number of of them over, which is clearly gonna trigger some issues.
Armageddon will even construct on threads established in Zdarky and Valerio Schiti’s present Captain America run, which’ll bounce to the current day with its sixth difficulty. As a substitute of specializing in a crew of super-soldier Captains from different international locations, the upcoming story arc now sees the return of Nick Fury Jr. and his “smaller, leaner” S.H.I.E.L.D. The brand new group solely consists of a handful of brokers, however Fury’s obtained on them available to retrieve a stockpile of Latverian weapons after One World After Doom, which places them at odds with Cap. You may see designs for the S.H.I.E.L.D. characters and the e-book’s covers down beneath.
Talking to the story change, Zdarsky defined he initially had a “completely different thought in thoughts” for the e-book’s supporting gamers. However “when the opportunity of a brand new S.H.I.E.L.D. got here alongside, we simply hit the bottom working. S.H.I.E.L.D. is Marvel. Bringing them again with a brand new mandate and scope has been extremely enjoyable—they’re beginning small, however they, and Fury, have large plans.”
Zdarsky’s obtained at the least yet one more story within the lead as much as Armageddon, and that’s Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon. Drawn by Luca Maresca, the four-issue miniseries finds Wolverine combating the reborn Weapon X program and its new company chief PrimeWarrior. Zdarsky known as the miniseries “important” to Armageddon, saying Wolverine will “kick off the tip of the whole lot.”
