Article Summary
- Doctor Doom confronts himself in Marvel's X-Men/Armageddon Comics Giveaway Day 2026 special preview.
- The Armageddon event sparks a global battle for emerging superpowers and political dominance.
- Wakanda, Captain America, Hydra, and PrimeWarrior all vie for power as the chaos unfolds.

The Armageddon event is upon us, as seen in recent issues of Will Of Doom, Dungeons Of Doom, Captain America, Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon as well as Miles Morales: Spider-Man and the upcoming Ultimate Reborn and Avengers: Armageddon to set all of this up. It will kick off properly with Free Comic Book Day/Comics Giveaway Day on the 2nd of May and Armageddon / X-Men #1. And Bleeding Cool has just one page, unlettered and uncoloured, of that to share. With Doctor Doom coming face-to-face with himself. Or, at least, a Doombot is…

From what we have gleaned, Armageddon appears to be a global political fight to control the new emerging superpowers on the planet, whether those created by what Doctor Doom left behind in his Latverian dungeons, the use of the Ultimate Origin Boxes brought here by Miles Morales for safekeeping, and attempts to restart the Captain America Supersoldier programme, with the Red Hulk and the US Army, Hydra and the other factions vying for power in Latveria, and the private firm PrimeWarrior involved in it all. While the Avengers and Captain America seem poised to go up against the US Government itself. But is Doctor Doom back, nicely in time for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie? But there's a little more to share…
In his recent newsletter, Armageddon writer Chip Zdarsky says, " So, yeah! This is coming together like a DREAM. I know it's illegal for me to show you interior art, but I'm the Bad Boy of Comics— AGAIN, YOU'RE FIFTY YEARS OLD – okay fine, then AGAIN, I'm the Bad MAN of Comics! Anyway! Look at Delio and Frank's T'Challa and Wakanda! Like, holy SHIT am I right?? You're not ready."

It's not illegal, Chip. After all, we just did it too! Although if you really were a bad boy, you'd watermark that mother as well… but it does indicate another sphere of power getting involved, Wakanda, beyond just Umbra's debut in Dungeons Of Doom… and add this to another prevuiously revealed page…
