The Marvel Universe is hurtling toward a massive collision this summer, and the blueprints are being laid out right now. Mastermind writer Chip Zdarsky is steering the ship for the upcoming ARMAGEDDON event, with the foundational chapters arriving this April in the pages of Captain America #9-10 and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #3. While the summer event is the destination, these spring releases are the critical turning points that set the stakes for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
The political landscape of the Marvel 616 is currently reeling from the fallout of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM. With Latveria’s future hanging in the balance and global tensions reaching a breaking point, Steve Rogers is stepping up to lead a brand-new iteration of S.H.I.E.L.D. His mission is to prevent a full-scale global conflict, but the challenge becomes personal as a group emerges with a terrifying connection to Doctor Doom’s own legacy. This arc, featuring stunning visuals from artists like Valerio Schiti and Jan Bazaldua, officially begins its build-up in Captain America #6, making the April issues essential reading for anyone following the geopolitical shifts of the Marvel Universe.
Simultaneously, Logan is hunting shadows in the prelude limited series Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon. This four-issue series, illustrated by Luca Maresca, follows Wolverine as he digs into a clandestine super soldier program. Unfortunately for the X-Man, he may be too late to stop the rebirth of a deadly new Weapon X. This gritty, street-level investigation serves as a dark mirror to the global chaos Cap is facing, proving that the threat of Armageddon is attacking from all angles.
The most mysterious element of this upcoming event involves the origin boxes migrating from the New Ultimate Universe into the primary 616 reality. These artifacts are already beginning to surface, triggering the emergence of new heroes and signaling a massive shift in the Avengers lineup. Between the resurgence of the Weapon X program and the intrusion of Ultimate Universe technology, Zdarsky is weaving a complex web that promises to redefine Marvel’s status quo for the rest of 2026.
