So here's where our favorite characters find themselves...

The super-hero Civil War saw Tony Stark placed at the head of SHIELD, and in charge of America's superhuman population. The Skrull invasion saw him branded as a failure, and a coward. That same event saw another man, Norman Osborn, captured in a seemingly heroic moment, elevated to Stark's position. Seemingly reformed, Osborn began reshaping the nation to suit his whims: SHIELD, seen as a failure, was replaced by HAMMER, filled with the dregs of the SHIELD ranks and other less-than-reputable organizations. Most of the government-backed Avengers left, not wanting to work for the known villain, only to be replaced by new heroes wearing old mantles, actually known murderers in disguise.

A secret Cabal was also formed, led by Osborn and including several like-minded would-be world conquerors. Camp Hammond, set up to train the next generation of heroes was devastated by the legacy of Stark and condemned, and Camp HAMMER was established to take its place, run by seemingly-reformed villain Taskmaster and, secretly, super-villain gangster the Hood, who populated its ranks with several of his own agents. Conflict soon arose, with many long-time heroes forced into hiding or locked away. The mutant populace saw itself come under attack, forcing them to flee the country and establish their own nation-state, a final Utopia for the dwindling population. But as Osborn's Dark Reign continues, his ranks have begun to falter. And in January...a Siege might be his downfall.

From the mind of Brian Michael Bendis, the next Marvel saga begins this January and is a story so big it will continue through the first half of 2010!


The Comics Story

Marvel Comics began life as "Timely Publications" in 1939, with comic books featuring Captain America, Namor the Sub-Mariner and an early version of the Human Torch. Legendary comics writer Stan Lee was hired as an office assistant in 1939. Within two years, the 19-year-old Lee was promoted to editor of the Marvel Comics line, a post that he would keep until 1972.

Everything changed in 1961, when Lee and artist Jack Kirby created The Fantastic Four -- a new style of superhero comic that focused on the characters' internal drama as well as their heroic adventures. The style was a huge success, and the Lee/Kirby team went on to create the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, the Mighty Thor and the X-Men. The prolific Lee worked with artist Steve Ditko to create Marvel's greatest success story, Spider-Man. Stan Lee's Marvel revolution extended beyond the characters and storylines to the way in which comic books engaged the readership and built a sense of community between fans and creators.

Today, Marvel's heroes are blockbuster stars on the silver screen, with Spider-Man, Iron Man, the X-Men and the Hulk becoming regular features of the summer movie season.
