Siege: The Cabal #1

"Untitled" from Siege: The Cabal #1 (2010) brings together a shadowy coalition of Marvel's most powerful figures as Norman Osborn reveals his next move: targeting Asgard, now grounded in Oklahoma. With the introduction of Taskmaster as Namor’s replacement and a defiant Doom seemingly destroyed by a blast—only to be revealed as a Doombot—tensions rise. As the Cabal grapples with the president’s refusal to authorize an assault, Loki proposes a calculated provocation to justify the attack. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Michael Lark, with inks by Stefano Gaudiano, colors by Matt Hollingsworth, and letters by Chris Eliopoulos, the issue’s cover by David Finch captures the storm brewing at the heart of the Cabal’s scheme.
