Prepare for the debut of the Ultimate Six. Electro! Sandman! Doc Ock! Green Goblin! Kraven The Hunter! But who is the sixth villain? And how will these men escape S.H.I.E.L.D. custody? Find out here!
I must confess I was a little disappointed that the book opened with the seven page Joe Quesada prologue, as I had assumed it has been created solely for the Wizard Zero issue, and had assumed it was destined to be bonus material in the trade paper back, and not an active part of the miniseries itself.
