This July, the second issue of AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, the event series by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar that leads into a new era of AVENGERS, introduces a powerful new hero.
Also on sale in July, CAPTAIN AMERICA #13 by Zdarsky and Ton Lima continues the arc that follows Captain America’s epic team-up with Doctor Doom on his journey back to Earth to prevent ARMAGEDDON.
The final reckoning that leads to a major shakeup for the Avengers begins this June in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, a five-issue event series by superstar writer Chip Zdarsky and acclaimed artists Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar. Today, check out the cover for issue #2, which teases a new hero coming to the frontlines with power that outmatches both sides of the conflict.
Spinning out Zdarsky’s hit Captain America run and the recently launched Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon limited series, AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON sees a colossal new lineup of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble to stop Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A. Red Hulk, from unleashing a devastating tear across the globe after his takeover of Latveria. Ahead of ARMAGEDDON, fans should continue reading Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon to learn more about who the new hero is and the mysterious origins of his abilities, which may pose an even greater threat to the world than Red Hulk.
Meanwhile, the next arc of Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti’s acclaimed run of CAPTAIN AMERICA serves a companion to the event, continuing in July’s CAPTAIN AMERICA #13, featuring guest artist Ton Lima. The shocking storyline sees Captain America, desperate to make his way back to Earth, forced to work with Doctor Doom to escape from a place he never imagined he’d find himself in…
