Doctor Octopus and Vulture will pit their two villainous teams against each other in Sinister War, an event series spinning out of the events of Amazing Spider-Man.

Otto Octavius returns to the pages of Amazing Spider-Man in Sinister War, as he leads his Sinister Six against Vulture's Savage Six with New York City in the crossfire. Amazing Spider-Man writer Nick Spencer is joined by his collaborator Mark Bagley for the four-issue Sinister War event.

Marvel previously teased Spider-Man's Sinister War announcement with a piece of "Sinister" teaser artwork by Bagley.
