Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto Assemble Earth's Mightiest Survivors in New Avengers #1

Marvel is kicking off a new era for its flagship title this November with Avengers #1, launching in the direct aftermath of Avengers: Armageddon. Writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Marco Checchetto are assembling what's being billed as Earth's Mightiest Survivors, a roster built from whoever is left standing once the Armageddon dust settles rather than a lineup picked for marquee name value.

The relaunch leans into consequence: team books that follow a line-wide crossover often reset to the status quo, but early previews suggest this one is framing survivorship itself as the team's identity, with returning faces like the newly reinstated Miracleman folding into the mix alongside Avengers mainstays. Checchetto's covers for the launch issue have already drawn attention on their own, with Marvel rolling out blind bag exclusives and multiple variant treatments to mark the relaunch.

With Avengers: Doomsday looming on the movie side and Marvel's line-wide output pointing toward a post-Armageddon status quo, Avengers #1 looks positioned as the book that defines what the team means next on the page.
