Next Captain America Arc Ties Into Armageddon Event
New York, NY— March 16, 2026 — This June, AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON changes the face of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes for a new age! The upcoming limited series by writer Chip Zdarsky and artists Frank Alpizar & Delio Diaz spins directly out of Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti’s run of CAPTAIN AMERICA, which also kicks off a new arc in June with issue #12.
The current arc sees Captain America accompany the all-new S.H.I.E.L.D. into Latveria to maintain order in Doom’s absence. But Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, A.K.A. Red Hulk, is determined to enact revenge on Latveria, and his actions have dire repercussions, both for Captain America and the world. As the world—and a new team of Avengers—unites against Red Hulk in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, Captain America finds himself enlisted in a startling war against his will, serving at the behest of Victor Von Doom! Doom, not seen since his fall in last year’s One World Under Doom, needs Cap’s help for his most ambitious plan ever in a shocking arc that continues to boldly redefine Captain America and Doctor Doom’s dynamic and serves as a key companion piece to AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON.
After S.H.I.E.L.D.’s campaign in Latveria meets a brutal and violent end, Captain America finds himself in the last place he expected to be, alongside the last person he expected to see again. Where has Victor Von Doom been since One World Under Doom, and what does he want with Steve Rogers? Find out here as everything hurtles toward ARMAGEDDON!
“I love writing Doom,” Zdarsky said. “After my first arc with him and Cap, I knew I needed them to meet again! Their dynamic is incredibly fun, and this encounter will change both characters for a very long time!”
