As storm clouds gather, the members of the black-ops Shadow Initiative must abduct one of their own - who has defected to Hydra! But Norman Osborn's Dark Reign changes everything. Where Camp Hammond once trained future Avengers, Camp H.A.M.M.E.R. now trains tomorrow's Dark Avengers! The new principals are Taskmaster and the Hood, and they're registering villains as heroes and spreading Norman's empire across the nation.

Hunted by the law, hidden from sight, a Resistance has formed - and its members are out to stop H.A.M.M.E.R. by any means necessary! Softcover, 456 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.
