Chip Zdarsky is blowing up the status quo. In June, Avengers: Armageddon begins a five-issue run that promises to be as disruptive as Avengers: Disassembled. By August’s issue #3, Wolverine is left picking up the pieces to assemble a new team of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. The catalyst for this chaos is Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. The Red Hulk has officially seized control of Latveria, sparking a global conflict that the current team can’t contain.
Why are Captain America and Doctor Doom Teaming Up?
The war for the world is only half the battle. Steve Rogers and Doctor Doom are forced into a desperate alliance to fight Mephisto. They aren’t just fighting for territory; they’re fighting for their souls. This hellish subplot runs parallel to Logan’s mission. He’s currently working with Dave Colton, the new Captain America introduced in Zdarsky’s recent run, to dismantle a secret super-soldier program. They’ve unleashed a multiversal power source that could end Ross’s reign, but it’s going to cost the Avengers everything.
