Avengers #1 Arrives This Week With Miracleman Joining Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto's new Avengers #1 finally hits shelves November 4, and the lineup's mystery sixth member turns out to be a controversial one: Miracleman.

Not the classic Mick Anglo/Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman character, but David Colton — the "War on Terror era Captain America" Zdarsky introduced back in his 2025 Captain America run, who picked up godlike powers (and the Miracleman mantle) after Wolverine used a mysterious origin box on him in Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon. Marvel's solicit text leans into the danger of that power up front, warning that "the unpredictable David Colton may not be able to be trusted with his godlike new abilities."

In the wake of Armageddon, the world has turned on Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and a demonic invasion forces Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Wolverine, Luke Cage, and Colton's Miracleman into an uneasy new team. Checchetto's main cover puts the full roster front and center, backed by an unusually deep bench of blind-bag variants from artists including Alan Davis, Adi Granov, Alex Maleev, and Peach Momoko.
