Marvel Comics is launching a major new Avengers event series called "Avengers: Armageddon" in June 2026. The five-issue event, written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Frank Alpizar and Delio Diaz, will feature a global conflict ignited by Red Hulk claiming Latveria as his own. The Avengers will assemble to stop him, but the escalating battle will force them to unleash a power that fundamentally changes how the world views Earth's Mightiest Heroes. This pivotal chapter will then lead directly into a new era for the Avengers later this year.
