Check out never-before-seen variant covers along with a sneak peek at the prelude story in 'Armageddon/X-Men' #1 CGD 2026.>Witness the origin of the end! The last year of Marvel Comics storytelling, particularly the events of One World Under Doom (2025) and Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America (2025), have been building towards a watershed moment in Avengers history. That turning point arrives this June in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, a five-issue event series from Zdarsky, the superstar writer known for his defining and Eisner-nominated work on Daredevil (2019), and rising stars Frank Alpizar and Delio Diaz, the artist duo behind Doomed 2099 (2025) and recent issues of Captain America.>Following key buildup in Captain America and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon (2026), AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON leads 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.

>>152863934Is that fan-favorite Mauve Hulk to Rulk’s left? Has he finally been given the attention that he truly deserves?
>>152863943
>>152863922Even in 2026 they are still giving Tony MCU-compliant brown eyes instead of blue?
>>152863916>>152863967I'm rooting for Ross. Not that I endorse generals going rogue and becoming warlords. But the opposing team includes Steve, Tony, Peter, and Logan. Fuck those guys.
Really this is Avengers on Avengers violence.
>>152863916That's the stupidest fucking avengers lineup I've ever seen
>>152863916Dumb lineup
>>152863916>Pre-Armageddon and Post-Armageddon.They are going to reboot the timeline, aren't they?
>>152864259All for the last attempt to synergize with M-SHE-U and it will backfire badly.2 more years of DC + Skybound-Image domination
>>152864313Marvel Studios probably got tired of the comics not being supplemental material to the movies and are putting their foot down. It's either become the MCU or be destroyed.
>>152864325And will backfire badly, they didn't learn from DC.
>>152864325But the comics fall on their face every time they try to be MCU-like.
>>152864259No they're not. There might be a relaunch coming, but no reset.
>>152864351Feige doesnt care anymoreAnd will backfire badly, they rather bankrupt to admit they are wrong and sell it later for cheap to get profits.
I really want this to be good but I’m so worried about the fact it’s so MCU heavy.The RESETs are interesting though, that’s making me wanna read more I’ll admit. Also as someone who loves anti hero Rulk from Parker’s run in the 10s I’m a little annoyed he’s just evil
>>152864483Could do the event thing where the designated "good guys" are in the wrong again.
>>152864492That happens with anything featuring Carol and Tony.
If they wanted proper synergy they should have let Iron Man start wearing green and grey and conquer Latveria.
>>152864483As long as MCU Loki and the MCU’s TVA fuck off and in a hole, leaving the comics forever…I’ll give it a morbid curiousity read.
>>152865130But he is still a Doctor Doom who just is played by Robert Downey Jr., isn't he? They have multiple cases of blurring of Iron Man and Doctor Doom to pull from instead.
>>152865218Both Chad Lokis are now in the comics and there’s nothing you can do about it, faggot. Mald. Both WILL SHOW UP AGAIN.
>>152865227I think the MCU made a smart decision. It makes sense that Tony is a Doom variant and Waldron is notoriously really smart when it comes to writing and he’s a chad so I trust him. And if the comics change because of this so beat it. Lmao
>>152865227It needs to be 616 Tony.
>>152863967What in the goddamn happened to your mustache, Ross?
Did…did the Lokischizo only come because I mentioned his husbando? I did not mean to lure him.
>>152865421That's a Robotnik stache
>>152863967>I AM THE EGGMAN! THAT'S WHAT I AM!
>>152863967>I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG
>>152865412There is no shot in hell that the MCU Doctor Doom is the same person as the Tony Stark that was followed.
>>152863967Kino.
>>152864483>I really want this to be goodIt's MCU synergy shit and Zdarsky is literally just a shittier version of Fraction and had never in his career written a comic better than mediocre. It will not be good.
>>152864238>>152864244not that stupid
The current Cap run is incoherent tankie garbage, first they had America install Doom in the late 2000s despite America not installing any dictatorships or aiding in coups since the end of the Cold War, without the apocalyptic threat of communism America WOULD NOT do that shit.>>152864058>I'm rooting for RossThe most recent Cap issue LITERALLY PROVED HIM RIGHT that the likely new Latverian government will be a mass murdering dictatorship.>>152868489>>152868499>>152864483He has not done ANYTHING evil so far. Pic related is childish bullshit. Protecting your country is not fucking bullying.
>>152863967>Let's go Steve, we need to kill that fucking blue rodent
>>152863916>>152863934So, they're finally using the real Spider-man for something, not the discount store one?
>>152864313>>152864483How exactly is this MCU sinergy heavy? I know next to nothing about this event.
>>152864259All signs are pointing at a new line launch/revamp led by Avengers #1 written by Zdarsky
>>152864313>M-SHE-UIt's not 2016 anymore, get something new
>>152863916>>152863922Still wondering why Ross was missing during the one beneath all saga
>>152869103you do realize it's the same writer right? just wait to see what happens
>>152869495He was in Coates Captain America and was killed off and dead for majority of it, only to then be revealed that he was actually alive the whole time and had faked his death with an LMD (which was a piss excuse to cover the fact that other comics were dealing with Ross being dead, most notably Absolute Carnage had Ross' dead body dug out of his grave and his spine harvested due to Ross having been bonded to a symbiote before)
>>152864313>M-SHE-U
>>152869479>>152869613Seethe interns
>>152869103>despite America not installing any dictatorships or aiding in coups since the end of the Cold WarGood goy
>>152869747>low-effort npc postHow predictable.
>>152869765The governments we put in place in Iraq & Afghanistan factually were not dictatorships.
>>152869871Still seethe, and Scott Hall is dead.
>>152869971>Still seethe>M-SHE-Uthe ironing is delicious
>>152869103>despite America not installing any dictatorships or aiding in coups since the end of the Cold War, without the apocalyptic threat of communism America WOULD NOT do that shit.I know we all like our fantasy hero stories here but this one beggars belief a bit
>>152870309Again it has been 34 years since the fall of the USSR and have we installed any dictatorships since?
>>152863967Motherfucker we JUST DID A BAD TIMELINE EVENT
>>152870368Afghanistan and Iraq would like to have a word
>>152870622Both governments we installed had legitimate elections, they factually were not dictatorships, fucktard.
>>152870638Dictatorships aren't about how they start but how they're run you absolute fucking retard
>>152863916Featuring all your favorite avengers!>Carol>Spider-Man >Sue>Wolverine>Falcon.....
>>152870649Dicatorships do not allow continual legit elections unless there is only 1 party.They ran just fine, they allowed various political parties, did not crack down on or slaughter innocent civilians, did basically nothing unjustly authoritarian.
>>152870697>They ran just fineHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH >did not crack down on or slaughter innocent civiliansHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA>did basically nothing unjustly authoritarianAw fuck please stop I can't keep laughing like this, you are genuinely legitimately mentally challenged. You should be in a care home with how low your IQ is. I doubt you can even feed yourself properly
>>152870649You can easily make the argument that both governments are/were rife with corruption, but naively protecting a government that actually acts against US interests is a far cry from CIA-installing another Pinochet who tows just enough of the western line but tosses his opponents out of helicopters
>>152870597I'm not sure the RESET refers to time travel. It could be that Ross is running simulations.
The argument is drifting away from the thread topic. The story is that Ross has broken with his country and conquered a foreign nation for himself. Try to argue over that instead.
>>152869585Red Hulk started with him faking his death with an LMD, so it is in character.
>>152863916>Rulk invading LatveriaBased
>>152863967Eggman?
>>152870728Give me sources on bad things the post 01/03 Afghan/Iraqi governments did.>>152870794There is nothing fucking wrong with throwing genocidal communist out of Helicopters. Pinochet killed 3000 across 17 years, Mao killed SIXTY MILLION.
>>152864259Fucking finally
>>152870921Yeah, but Coates' Captain America run was really bad with continuity due to the pacing which is why it ends up being worse
>>152865388You don’t read comics you uber faggot
>>152864058Same
>>152871711>>152871711>>152871711
>>152864313>M-SHE-UGrow up
For me its MCPoo
>>152873131Seethe faggot
>>152864313Anon that die like a phase ago
>>152873148it should be always reminded, seeing that these fags seethe and rage when is brought up.
>>152863916>wolverine>not beastnot interested
>>152873222>>152873222>>152873222
>>152865388>the MCU >making a smart decision
>>152863934>>152863922Didnt just Sinister pull the same shit but to greater success? I mean he conquered the universe, caused the incursions, killed thanos, attained ultimate power in the part of the multiverse he was confined to by the beyonders with the incursions, and was barely defeated by the phoenix
>>152865354>dograper is here againShark Tale thread incoming>>152865388>and Waldron is notoriously really smart when it comes to writing and he’s a chad so I trust him>dograper is even more retarded than you thought he wasHow are you a real person?
>>152876691Anon, the Studios Wants the comics to be part of MCU now, by force now that iger fucked off.
>>152873148This Spider-Man movie is about Jean Grey.
>>152876717and the north brazillian ugly michelle jones cucking peter with ezra bridger while he watches from afar and mark ruffalo tells him that is normal and is good to be one.
>>152863967All these replies make it clear that comics can never be rescued from their fans.
>>152876717Going by the trailer it isn't
>>152879626>>152879626>>152879626
>>152880715>>152880715>>152880715
Man, I wonder what the outcome will be
>>152864313if they wanted to tie into the MCU right, they should do a run about a literal who rogue TVA minuteman who works discreetly behind the authority's back in a scheme to prune timelines and build a raggedy territory in The Void
