by Tony Thornley

This summer, the next era of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes begins with Avengers: Armageddon, an event that promises to shake the Marvel Universe to its core.

Readers will get a glimpse at the Avengers mega event this weekend with a Comics Giveaway Day prelude to the series. Coming from Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar, the event sees earth’s mightiest — including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, X-Men and more — assembling in the wake of Thunderbolt Ross’s Hulk Squad taking over Latveria. As this power assembly of heroes come together in the face of this crisis, a new team of Avengers will rise, including an incredible new hero with immeasurable power…

On what to expect in Avengers: Armageddon’s aftermath, Zdarsky told Marvel.com, “It’s going to be pretty fractured, but when things are looking dark, someone will always step up. But what they’ll face will be wildly unexpected. Man, oh man, I’m pretty excited for people to see where we’re going!”

Check out the full range of covers for the debut issue of the event, from superstars like Jerome Opeña, Skottie Young, Chip Zdarsky, Kaare Andrews, Alex Ross, Marco Checchetto, Ryan Stegman, and Jenny Frison.
