The Initiative is threatened like never before!

With public opinion turning against the Initiative following the Skrull invasion of Earth, the camp's black-ops unit, the Shadow Initiative, must leave headquarters on an important mission to abduct one of their own, Hardball - a former Initiative member who has defected to the terrorist organization Hydra.

Meanwhile, as angry protesters surround Camp Hammond, a massive threat from within is revealed. Though the Skrulls might be gone, their handiwork is still very much alive as a fearsome foe from the past appears, forcing the remaining members of the Initiative to unite, or be lost in the storm.

Plus: Meet Reptil, the newest addition to the Marvel Universe!

A shocking new era for the Initiative!

Where Camp Hammond once trained future Avengers, Camp H.A.M.M.E.R. now trains tomorrow's Dark Avengers! Under orders from Norman Osborn, your new Principals are Taskmaster and the criminal kingpin, the Hood. They're registering villains as heroes and spreading Norman's empire across the nation with such specialized classes as How to Fake Being Champions While Fleecing the Citizens You're Supposed to Protect! But the heroes who once made up the Initiative aren't about to let this happen.

Hunted by the law, hidden from sight, a resistance movement has formed...and they're out to stop a Dark Reign from falling over the Fifty State Initiative...by any means necessary!
