Marvel Comics has announced and launched several major narrative events designed to reshape its fictional universe.

In July 2026, Marvel unveiled ‘March to Hulk War’, a four-part oversized one-shot series intended to bridge the ‘Infernal Hulk’ storyline to a larger crossover event planned for 2027. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, the series features the demonic incarnation of Hulk assembling an ‘Infernal Avengers’ team to wreak havoc.

Following this, Marvel launched ‘Avengers: Armageddon’, a five-issue event written by Chip Zdarsky. This storyline involves a conflict in Latveria and Symkara involving the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and Red Hulk’s forces. The event is intended to divide the Marvel Universe into ‘pre-Armageddon’ and ‘post-Armageddon’ eras, introducing new characters like David Colton, the ‘911 Captain America’, and resulting in significant shifts for established characters such as Captain America and Iron Man.

‘Avengers: Armageddon’ is designed to address narrative gaps from the original ‘Civil War’ storyline, specifically regarding superhuman registration and government oversight. The fallout from this event will lead into a new ‘Avengers’ series by Zdarsky and artist Marco Checchetto, scheduled for release in November 2026. This upcoming series will feature a roster including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, and Luke Cage, depicting a transformed universe where the Avengers must work to regain public trust after their battle against Red Hulk. The event is expected to impact multiple titles, including ‘Captain America’, ‘Amazing Spider-Man’, and ‘Black Panther/Namor: Doomed’.
