One of the greatest secrets in Marvel History is laid bare - and it just may reignite the civil war between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers!
The illuminati thought their days as the world's protectors were over - until the hood escaped from prison and embarked on a quest to gather the all-powerful infinity gems, which the super-secret brain trust had taken responsibility for safeguarding. Now, Iron Man, Professor X, Mr. Fantastic, the Sub-Mariner, Dr. Strange and Black Bolt will face a reckoning like never before when Steve Rogers learns of their years-long subterfuge.
Will even the combined might of the Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers and Illuminati be enough to take down a cosmically powered Hood? And did somebody say "Thanos"?
Plus: what is the mystery of the Spaceknight?
