Two Sinister Sixes?! Well, kinda. There’s Vulture’s Savage Six, but also the one and only Sinister Six, spearheaded by the return of Doctor Octopus.

Terrible twelve

Yep, it’s a whole lotta bad guys. Marvel’s Spider-Man books are bout to be set upon by not one sextet of villains, but two. Though from the sound of things, they don’t necessarily have their eyes set on the wall-crawler.

The two sides are at war, with Vulture heading up his Savage Six, and Doc Ock leading his classic Sinister Six. The prize is NYC’s criminal underworld itself, and Spidey’s in the crossfire.

DOCTOR OCTOPUS IS BACK! AND THE SINISTER WAR HAS BEGUN!

The above is from the press release for Sinister War #1 (of 4), which is the starting point for this villainous battle royale. It’s set to hit stands on July 14th, with Nick Spencer will be taking the writing duties, along with famed Spidey artist Mark Bagley.
