Captain America and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon sets the stage for the next Avengers epic!

This summer, the Avengers undergo a transformation the likes of which hasn’t been seen since Avengers: Disassembled in Armageddon, a new Marvel Comics event from Chip Zdarsky. The superstar writer is currently laying key groundwork for Armageddon in his acclaimed run of Captain America as well as Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon, a prelude series launching later this month. Fans can see what’s to come in both titles this May, just before Armageddon arrives the following month.

Following Doom’s fall at the end of One World Under Doom, Latveria is on the brink of civil war! In the latest arc of Captain America, Captain America is deployed to prevent the race to control Doom’s kingdom from erupting into a global conflict. As tensions rise, Cap discovers a startling secret about Doom’s legacy and goes head-to-head with the all-new S.H.I.E.L.D. and RED HULK to defend Latveria’s future.

In Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon, an investigation into missing mutants leads Wolverine to Primewarrior, an all-new super soldier program. Teaming up with Dave Colton, a new Captain America introduced in Zdarsky’s run, Wolverine vows to bring Primewarrior down, confronting his own trauma as he faces off against a deadly new Weapon X! And when the pair come across a mysterious “origin box” device originating from another universe, they’ll unleash a power that will change the face of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!
