Back by popular demand! A brand-new printing of the cult classic featuring Spider-Man's deadliest foes!
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."

Nick Spencer broke into the comic-book industry with Existence 2.0, published by Image in 2009 and slated for adaptation into a feature film by Paramount Pictures. He has since worked on a sequel, Existence 3.0, and the ongoing series Morning Glories and Bedlam for Image, as well as T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents for DC. For Marvel, he wrote Secret Avengers, Iron Man 2.0 and Ultimate Comics X-Men before relaunching Secret Avengers and launching the villain-centric Superior Foes of Spider-Man for Marvel NOW! Spencer brought the comedic-underdog tone of the latter book to the pages of Ant-Man, and then shocked readers by turning the Sentinel of Liberty against the world in the pages of Captain America: Steve Rogers, Captain America: Sam Wilson and the event series Secret Empire.
