TIME RUNS OUT!
It was the catastrophe that led to the end of both the Ultimate and Marvel Universes and birthed the conflict known as Secret Wars, but not every story of those dark days has been told… Starting in November, five all-new INCURSIONS one-shots reveal the world-destroying battles that erupted across the Marvel multiverse and led into Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s Secret Wars, where iconic heroes and villains from wildly different realities collided—with only one universe able to survive.
The series kicks off in November with X-Men: Incursions #1 by Alex Paknadel and Jim Towe, a dramatic confrontation between two legendary mutant timelines—Days of Future Past and House of M!
Then, in December, Spider-Man: Incursions #1 by Christos Gage and Ron Lim follows two of the Spider-Verse’s most iconic web-slingers, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Girl, in a fight against each other to save their respective homes; and Fantastic Four: Incursions #1 by Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Paco Medina introduces two wild takes on Marvel’s First Family and the Strongest There Is.
In January, X-Men ’92: Incursions #1 by Christopher Yost, Craig Kyle, and Salva Espin delivers the showdown X-Fans have imagined—and debated—for decades as the iconic X-Men ’92 lineup face off against the mutant teen heroes of the beloved 2000s animated series X-Men: Evolution! Closing out the series with a banger, Avengers: Incursions #1 by Al Ewing and Fran Mariscal Mancilla sends the ruthless villains of Time Runs Out—Thanos and his Cabal—crashing into the Silver Age to wreak havoc against the bright-eyed original Avengers lineup!

Armageddon has fallen upon the Marvel Universe and a bold new age awaits the survivors! Writers Chip Zdarsky and Joshua Williamson took to the stage of the Avengers: Armageddon panel at San Diego Comic-Con to reveal new information about the final issue of Avengers: Armageddon, the climax of the current story in Captain America, the second arc of the new Avengers series and two new story arcs from the ongoing Iron Man series.
The Marvel Universe is at a turning point. After General Thunderbolt Ross, aka the Red Hulk, led an army of gamma-enhanced soldiers in a hostile effort to “spread democracy” across Europe, the Avengers dispatched their team to put an end to Ross’ conquest despite protest from the United Nations. David Colton, a former Captain America who recently received a vast power upgrade from the mysterious Origin Boxes, engaged Ross in a highly destructive battle resulting in collateral damage. In the aftermath of that battle, the Red Hulk was captured and removed to Russia by the Winter Guard while Iron Man discovered a highly dangerous piece of technology left behind that can show the user visions of possible futures.
The discovery of this machine and the consequences of Red Hulk and Colton’s battle will be explored in upcoming issues of Avengers: Armageddon and change how everyone in the Marvel Universe feels about super heroes… while setting the stage for November’s The Avengers #1 by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto.
Prior to the events of Avengers: Armageddon, Steve Rogers confronted the Red Hulk and was placed into a coma for his efforts. Steve’s soul was then captured and pulled down into Hell where Victor Von Doom leads an uprising against Mephisto’s forces. Together with Doom, Steve’s noble deeds cause an army of the damned seeking redemption to follow him. Mephisto isn’t taking kindly to such actions and has assembled a horde of demons to confront Rogers and Doom, led by one of Rogers’ archenemies from back on Earth, the Red Skull.
Teasing the climactic events of Captain America #16 and the possibility of regime change in the netherworld, Zdarsky has said “Steve Rogers gets the chance to redefine Hell. Easy.”
While the opening arc for the new Avengers comic series is still being kept mostly under wraps, a teaser image by Chip Zdarsky depicting a cracked Punisher skull was revealed alongside the title of the second arc: ‘The Red Line.’ Zdarsky was tight-lipped when it came to details.
Meanwhile, in the ongoing Iron Man series by writer Joshua Williamson, Tony Stark has faced one of his greatest nightmares brought to life by a vengeful Madame Masque and a new incarnation of the terrorist group A.I.M. Stark’s continued reactions to A.I.M.’s manipulations have put him under the microscope of his fellow heroes while a mysterious new figure calling themselves Citizen V implores Tony’s closest companions to distance themselves from him. With dangerous technology making it out into the wild and his increasingly reckless behavior being scrutinized by the public, Stark ends up behind bars in the hi-tech prison known as The Vault as ‘The Incarcerated Iron Man’ kicks off in December with artist Carmen Carnero.
Beginning with Part 1 of ‘The Incarcerated Iron Man’ in Iron Man #12, the series will ship twice a month with alternating story arcs and artists through March 2027, as part of the lead up to Iron Man #700. It will feature art by Carmen Carnero for even-numbered issues and odd numbered issues features art by Gleb Melnikov.
In the even-numbered issues Tony Stark is in prison. While the odd numbered issues are taken over by the ‘War Machines.’ James “Rhodey” Rhodes puts together a new team of Armored Warriors to help take down Madame Masque, Adam Ware and the new A.I.M. while Tony is locked up.

Queen in Black, the new crossover event spinning directly out of Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez’s run of Venom, begins on July 22. Spanning a five-issue series by Ewing and Iban Coello, alongside essential tie-in limited series and issues, the saga follows Marvel’s heroes as they fight to safeguard Earth from an epic cosmic collision between Knull and Hela. Today, Marvel officially unveils the covers and information for the event’s final chapters, arriving this September.
Hela has seized Knull’s throne and now commands a legion of deadly symbiotes as the QUEEN IN BLACK! Meanwhile, Knull has conquered the Lightforce Dimension, claiming terrifying new power for himself as the GOD OF LIGHT! Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war, and Earth is the final prize!
The newly revealed issues spotlight the long awaited emergence of Venomworld in Queen in Black #4-5, a startling development teased since the early days of Ewing’s mind-bending run. As Earth is consumed by symbiotes, current Venom host Mary Jane Watson is forced to make a desperate choice, one that will shape both the fate of the Marvel Universe and her future as a symbiote hero in Venom #262. Meanwhile, Eddie Brock faces his own pivotal decision that redefines his role as a symbiote host in Queen in Black: Venom Unchained #3. And both new Defenders squads unite for the climactic finale in Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark #4, and Marvel’s master thief joins the battle to pull off the galaxy’s greatest heist in Black Cat #14.
