- August will bring in the final trio with Red Skull, Dormammu, and Mephisto.
What They’re Saying:
- Marc Guggenheim, writer: “As someone who grew up with the original Bring On the Bad Guys on his bedroom shelf, this project is particularly exciting to me. It’s been a while since I had the chance to work with other writers on a crossover event and I’m truly enjoying the collaboration. Marvel has such a rich roster of antagonists and it’s a huge amount of fun to not only give them their time to shine but also add a new villain to their ranks — Sister Sorrow — who is every bit as dangerous and formidable as these classic villains."
- Mark Paniccia, editor: “Marvel broke the mold with supervillains, pushing them past the archetypical to the complex and some even morally gray but still to be feared. Each of these one-shots are an opportunity for fans to see what makes these villains some of the most dangerous characters in the Marvel Universe."
