Marvel Is Officially Entering A New Era. Here Are 8 Things Fans Need To See

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe endeavors toward a nostalgic crossover era via Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom and Fox’s X-Men continuity in Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel will first embark on its own new era via the comic book event series Avengers: Armageddon this summer. Five issues do not give this event much legroom with which to tackle such a tall order, though it is strategically leveraging a few recent Marvel stories—Ryan North and R.B. Silva’s One World Under Doom event and Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti’s Captain America run, and Zdarsky and Luca Maresca’s Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon miniseries—as its foundations and springboards.
