Doctor Doom Enlists Captain America For The Fight Against Ultimate Evil As Armageddon Erupts In New Arc Of Captain America

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!”

No, he doesn't. His ongoing series ended in December, with issue #16. Since then, Sam Wilson currently has a five-issue mini-series, featuring Red Hulk, (Big surprise there, right? Gotta make the comics resemble the MCU, to try to give the film some momentum. Yuck.) which carries Steve Rogers Legacy Numbering on its covers. Until this announcement was made yesterday, Steve Rogers was without a book of his own, and presumably would have been, until further notice. Even with this announcement, it's going to be a six month gap between his ongoing series, since this new book doesn't begin until July.

It's about damn time they finally announce a new series. It's ludicrous for Steve Rogers to not have a Captain America title of his own on the shelves. They gave Steve's Legacy Numbering to Sam Wilson (again) for a stupid mini-series that ties into the MCU. They took away his book, and they've also had him off of the Avengers roster for two years, now. Steve Rogers is not some D-list background character that should be sitting on the bench. Hopefully, this new book will carry his Legacy Numbers on the cover, as it should be, and they can finally tone down the Sam Wilson Cap stuff, now that his movie will soon be in the rear-view mirror.

Captain America was presumed KIA, he wouldn't need to "re-enlist". I'm always leery of these ret-cons (his first time meeting Dr. Doom) because they're rarely handled well and they tend to conflict with the established continuity. If they want to explore Cap's interactions after being thawed, they could address his brain damage (amnesia) issues (recall that when he and the Avengers first encountered the Sub-Mariner, neither recognized the other from their days as All Winners Squad), and no doubt how the then-current SHIELD/military would have been concentrating on replicating the Super Soldier Serum from Cap's blood, more than anything else.

I want Zdarsky on X-men to wash the stink of Hickman from it

Looking forward to a new writer. I've been getting the series, and there is some cool stuff going on, but overall I'm pretty bored with the story. The pace is slow. It's weird for a Cap title to pile up in my "to read" stack, and I think I'm about 4 or 5 back with it. So a fresh take will be welcome. Plus I feel like Chip is underrated. Him and Gerry Duggan. They come on a title with very little fanfare and almost always make it better imo.

*when is there gonna be a Cap 4 thread?...I thought it was a lot better than what I was expecting walking in.
