Marvel senior editor Nick Lowe revealed in the New York Comic Con 2017 panel that a new Sinister Six is set to make Miles Morales life a bit more complicated in "Spider-Man" #234.
The reborn Sinister Six rosters Sandman, Hobgoblin, The Spot, Bombshell, Lady Electro, and a man wearing a black and gold variant of the Iron Spider suit. The mysterious villain seems to be leading the revamped team that has always haunted the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker. The original members of the Sinister Six included Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Sandman, and Vulture.
Issue 234 will be out in November, Marvel fans were teased at the NYCC 2017 panel with the cover art of the upcoming issue. Writer Brian Michael Bendis will be pairing up with artist Oscar Bazaldua on the project that Lowe called "a big crazy story arc."
In the poster, the black and gold Iron Spider is in the center, with Spot and Bombshell right behind him. Lady Electro is seen hovering with currents of electricity jolting off her arms, to which fans noted the art did not make her look very villainous. The Hobgoblin glides at the opposite side while Sandman is further in the back doing his Sandman-thing.
"All of them have a very specific skill set and there is a whale of a score that needs all six of them. But the story will be very personal when people find out who the Iron Spider is," Bendis shared on an interview with Previews World.
A possible plot was hinted by Bendis saying that Miles will be having a sort of crossroads phase in the following issues. The Legacy story for the young web-crawler will focus on Miles questioning himself if being Spider-Man is a definite and final path for him. All these questions must be answered while the new Sinister Six is on the loose on the Ultimate Spider-Man's watch.
