Captain America Back From Dead As Avenging Angel? Armageddon Preview

Is Steve Rogers, Captain America, back from the dead as an Avenging Angel in Avengers: Armageddon #1? Preview here...

Avengers: Armageddon launches next week with The Avengers, Spider-Man, Wolverine, The Fantastic Four and more versus The Red Hulk. General Ross and his US Army Hulk soldiers have killed Steve Rogers, Captain America, in their assault on Latveria, taking Doom's weapons. PrimeWarrior is creating new supersoldiers with the Weapon X programme and the Origin Boxes. General Ross has been gameplaying and planning a totalitarian form of democracy across the globe using Doctor Doom's predictive technology, and the Battle For Symkaria is coming, intended to kick this all off… and Captain America appears to be coming back from Hell as an Angel…. Here's everything we have, starting with the preview for Avengers: Armageddon #1 out next week…

"Next week, Earth's Mightiest Heroes face one of their most devastating battles—and when the smoke clears, a new era of Avengers will begin! Arriving on June 10, AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, the new event series by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar, is set to transform Earth's Mightiest Heroes in a way not seen since Avengers: Disassembled. The saga assembles some of Marvel's greatest icons against Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, A.K.A the Red Hulk, whose conquest of Latveria threatens the fate of the entire world. Today, Marvel debuts the official AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON #1 trailer along with a never-before-seen lettered preview of the debut issue. The action-packed trailer reveals Red Hulk's secret weapon, a machine left by Doom that allows him to witness possible futures. Iron Man, Captain Marvel, the Fantastic Four and more prepare for a battle against a foe who already knows how to defeat them! Their best hope lies in a new hero whose unrivaled power could be enough to stop Red Hulk's global takeover—but at a terrible cost that changes how the world views their mightiest heroes. Get your first glimpse at this mysterious new hero and discover who else answers the call in the new AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON trailer. Then, dive into the opening scenes of the highly anticipated debut issue, where the fallout from of the latest arc of Captain America finds Steve Rogers in a coma, a victorious Red Hulk setting his sights beyond Latveria, and a mighty assembling of heroes ready to go to war! Each copy of AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON #1 will include an exclusive Magic: The Gathering promo card, a "Warstorm Surge" card featuring art by Ryan Stegman not available anywhere else!"
