Zdarsky and Checchetto Relaunch Avengers With New Six-Hero Lineup

Marvel says the series will steer its universe after a world-changing Avengers: Armageddon event.

Overview

  • Marvel announced a new ongoing Avengers series written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Marco Checchetto that will begin with Avengers #1 on sale November 4, 2026.
  • The publisher tied the relaunch directly to the Avengers: Armageddon event, saying that the crossover rewrites the world order and leaves Earth 'in need of avenging.'
  • The core roster named by Marvel includes Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and an as-yet-unnamed 'all-new hero' whose identity remains a central tease.
  • Marvel will sell Avengers #1 through its True Believers blind-bag program with exclusive variant covers and surprise contributor sketch covers to drive collector interest.
  • Editors and creators frame the run as a flagship, emotionally driven reset intended to be the 'heart of the Marvel Universe' and it deliberately echoes the post-Disassembled New Avengers model of mixing legacy names and wildcards.
