Witness the origin of the end! The last year of Marvel Comics storytelling, particularly the events of One World Under Doom (2025)<\/a> and Chip Zdarsky\u2019s<\/a> Captain America (2025)<\/a>, have been building towards a watershed moment in Avengers<\/a> history. That turning point arrives this June in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, a five-issue event series from Zdarsky, the superstar writer known for his defining and Eisner-nominated work on Daredevil (2019)<\/a>, and rising stars Frank Alpizar<\/a> and Delio Diaz<\/a>, the artist duo behind Doomed 2099 (2025)<\/a> and recent issues of Captain America.<\/p>\n

This pivotal chapter will lead directly into a new era of AVENGERS starting later this year.<\/p>\n
