Siege: The Cabal

In this single-issue Marvel prelude from 2010, writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Lark pull back the curtain on the secretive Cabal—the villainous alliance of Norman Osborn, Doctor Doom, Loki, and others—as they plot their next moves during the Siege event. A tense, character-driven spotlight on the dark heart of Osborn's Dark Reign, it sets the stage for the final confrontation with the Avengers.
