Spider-Man's deadliest foes, in their own book at last!
No, not him. Or him. Or her. Or them. We're talking Boomerang! The Shocker! Speed Demon! Overdrive! The new Beetle! Wait, has she even met Spidey? What are these guys trying to pull? Well, isn't that the big question as this questionable quintet set about attempting to prove they're Superior to any sextet? Can they stand each other's company long enough to get their hands on the legendary item that will put them in charge of the New York mob? Find out when Boomerang demands: "Bring me the head of Silvio Silvermane!" There's bickering, backstabbing and betrayal as the Sinister almost-Six prove that while there's no "I" in "team," there's both an "I" and a "me" in "crime."
