Avengers Armageddon #1 Captain Marvel Variant | Sealed Polybag w/ MTG Promo (LGY #803)

Marvel doesn't use the word "Disassembled" lightly. Avengers: Armageddon is the five-issue event Marvel positioned as the biggest structural shake-up to Earth's Mightiest Heroes since 2004 — and this is issue one, still sealed.

Writer Chip Zdarsky sets it off in Latveria: Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, the Red Hulk, has torn across the globe and the response requires more than one team. The Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Wolverine, and more are called in, and Marvel's own framing was blunt — there's a pre-Armageddon Marvel Universe and a post-Armageddon one. Art comes from Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar, with the storyline building out of Zdarsky's Captain America run, One World Under Doom, and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon. 

The cover here is one of the standout variants of the debut — a striking, stylized Captain Marvel portrait rendered in warm sunset reds and golds, Carol front and center against a flat gradient field. Clean, poster-like, and instantly recognizable on a shelf next to the busier team covers.

The real detail for collectors: this copy is still in its factory polybag, unopened. Every first printing of Avengers: Armageddon #1 shipped sealed with an exclusive Magic: The Gathering promo tied to the Marvel Super Heroes crossover, with art by Ryan Stegman. Sealed copies with the promo intact are the ones that hold value — once the bag is opened, you've got a comic and a loose card instead of a complete package.
