Marvel Sets 'Avengers: Armageddon' for June 3 as Zdarsky Leads Red Hulk’s Latveria Gambit

Overview

• Marvel officially announced the five-part series for June 3, 2026, naming Chip Zdarsky as writer with art by Frank Alpizar and Delio Diaz and a cover by Dike Ruan.
• The storyline opens with Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross operating as Red Hulk to take control of Latveria, drawing in the Avengers alongside the Fantastic Four, Wolverine and other heroes.
• Publisher language promises consequences that split the line into pre- and post-Armageddon eras, with coverage comparing the scale to 2004’s Avengers: Disassembled.
• The series continues threads from One World Under Doom plus Zdarsky’s Captain America and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon, with reporting suggesting possible Ultimate Universe fallout that is not confirmed.
• Zdarsky says he approached the project as a character-driven story rather than a planned crossover, and Marvel released issue #1’s cover as the comics launch precedes the MCU’s Avengers: Doomsday without confirmed narrative ties.
