The Devil’s Reign event series features some interesting news from the vast Marvel Comics universe. Thanks to his proximity to Kingpin, the crime king of New York, Doctor Otto Octavius had access to very advanced technology that enabled him to create his own group of rather dangerous supervillains.
Exactly 9 years ago the magazine debuted in January 2013 The superior Spider-Man, in which Doc Ock took control of Peter Parker’s body and became the new Spidey. An event that shocked fans and provoked positive and negative criticism, and one of the most interesting and most talked about versions of Spider-Man.
Following the same idea, in Devil’s Reign: Superior Four, thanks to the machines in the Baxter building, Octopus was able to meet three versions of himself from alternate universes, and then take possession of them from the Hulk, Wolverine and Ghost Rider.
Inspired by the Spider-Man newspaper and the first Marvel Comics historical group, Zac Thompson and Davide Tinto have created one of the most unpredictable and potentially dangerous criminal teams in the history of the House of Ideas. Besides that the Eight of Universe 616 intends to form the Council of OcksAlways following the wrong lines of Reed Richards.
Otto’s plan is not yet fully understood, but we know that it will unfold over the course of three volumes. Below you can see the fantastic cover by Ivan Shavrin and some tables from the first edition. Finally, remember that the most monstrous Hulk incarnation of all time is about to arrive too.
