So here's where our favorite characters find themselves...

The super-hero Civil War saw Tony Stark placed at the head of SHIELD, and in charge of America's superhuman population. The Skrull invasion saw him branded as a failure, and a coward. That same event saw another man, Norman Osborn, captured in a seemingly heroic moment, elevated to Stark's position. Seemingly reformed, Osborn began reshaping the nation to suit his whims: SHIELD, seen as a failure, was replaced by HAMMER, filled with the dregs of the SHIELD ranks and other less-than-reputable organizations. Most of the government-backed Avengers left, not wanting to work for the known villain, only to be replaced by new heroes wearing old mantles, actually known murderers in disguise.

A secret Cabal was also formed, led by Osborn and including several like-minded would-be world conquerors. Camp Hammond, set up to train the next generation of heroes was devastated by the legacy of Stark and condemned, and Camp HAMMER was established to take its place, run by seemingly-reformed villain Taskmaster and, secretly, super-villain gangster the Hood, who populated its ranks with several of his own agents. Conflict soon arose, with many long-time heroes forced into hiding or locked away. The mutant populace saw itself come under attack, forcing them to flee the country and establish their own nation-state, a final Utopia for the dwindling population. But as Osborn's Dark Reign continues, his ranks have begun to falter. And in January...a Siege might be his downfall.

From the mind of Brian Michael Bendis, the next Marvel saga begins this January and is a story so big it will continue through the first half of 2010!
