The Story So Far
Miracleman’s Marvel debut happened in Avengers: Armageddon #4. There, David Colton, the former Captain America from Zdarsky’s recent Captain America run, inherited Miracleman’s legacy and extraordinary power in the middle of a fight with Red Hulk.
Now, in the aftermath, the world has turned its back on the Avengers. But a demonic invasion changes everything, and the heroes must save a public that no longer trusts them. The twist? Colton’s unpredictable nature means the team may not be able to trust the newest member with his godlike abilities.

The Variant Covers Collectors Want
Marvel has revealed a lineup of covers, and there’s plenty to chase:
- Main cover: Checchetto’s artwork features Miracleman alongside the team.
- Open-to-order variants: Artgerm, Skottie Young, Jim Cheung and Julian Totino Tedesco.
- Wraparound cover: Kaare Andrews’ design now includes Miracleman.
- Blind Bag exclusives: Only in True Believers Blind Bags, including a new piece by Alan Davis, long associated with Miracleman.
- Display Box exclusive: Mark Spears’ variant, found only in True Believers Display Boxes.
Each Display Box holds 20 copies: one Spears variant in a polybag plus 19 Blind Bags. Blind Bags contain only exclusive covers, so the main cover and regular variants won’t turn up inside. Marvel also teased super rare surprise covers, including hand-drawn sketch covers.
