The road to Armageddon, an upcoming Marvel Comics event written by Chip Zdarsky, officially begins this month in Captain America #6, the start of an all-new arc in Zdarsky's acclaimed run.
The writer will also set the stage for the event in Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon, a four-issue prelude series kicking off next month. Both series team Zdarsky up with top artists including Valerio Schiti, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar and Jan Bazaldua on Captain America and Luca Maresca on Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon.
Today, we have a look ahead at what’s to come in April with the reveal of Captain America #9 and #10, new parts of the Armageddon lead-in arc, and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #3.
Armageddon picks up in the aftermath of One World Under Doom. With global tensions rising to determine the fate of Latveria, it’s up to Captain America and the all-new S.H.I.E.L.D. to prevent various groups from erupting into all-out war, including one with a startling connection to Doom’s legacy.
Meanwhile, Wolverine investigates a mysterious new super soldier program, but is too late to stop them from creating a deadly new Weapon X. All this while origin boxes, brought over to the 616 from the new Ultimate Universe, begin to surface, giving rise to new heroes and ushering in the next era of Avengers.
Here's a full breakdown of what's to come...
