Marvel Comics’ Avengers: Armageddon is shifting its focus to Black Panther and Namor. The heroes will lead a new story that spins off from the current Armageddon storyline to battle one of Marvel’s most iconic villains.
What do we know about the new Avengers project with Black Panther and Namor?
The limited series, titled Black Panther & Namor: Doomed, will send the Kings of Wakanda and Atlantis to Hell to fight Doctor Doom, following his death at the end of One World Under Doom. The new story follows the heroes’ aid in the fight against Red Hulk in Armageddon #1.
The new comic’s synopsis reads, “Black Panther and Namor must investigate Hell when Wakanda and Atlantis are attacked by demons! But once there, these rival kings discover they aren’t alone, as they cross paths with the wandering soul of Doctor Doom!”
The comic is written Ethan S. Parker & Griffin Sheridan, with art by Stefano Nesi. Check out the cover art by Dave Johnson below.
“Truly, we feel like the most fortunate writers on Earth to get to tell stories with any of the iconic heroes from the limitless sandbox of the Marvel Universe, let alone icons as monumental as T’Challa, Namor, and Victor Von Doom,” Parker said. “Black Panther is one of the coolest and most inspiring figures in all of fiction, and the Sub-Mariner’s iconic rivalry with him as one of the founding members of Marvel dating back to 1939 is the most hilarious and compelling dynamic we could hope to put our own personal spin on. We can’t wait to show readers the unimaginable dangers that lie ahead in this bold new era.”
“T’Challa, Namor, and Doom are among the richest characters comics have to offer,” Sheridan added. “Not only are all three of them iconic in their own right, but the interpersonal relationships they have with each other seem to be an endless wellspring for enthralling stories. These are colossal characters, so we’re throwing a story with colossal stakes at them – a story that finds Black Panther, Sub-Mariner, and Doctor Doom all in unique, new roles within the Marvel Universe. For those reasons and many others, working on Doomed has been a real privilege.”
Black Panther & Namor: Doomed goes on sale on comic stands on September 2, 2026.
