Marvel’s going for something a little different, but not unheard of, with the launch of the Illuminati series on November 11th, 2015. This series brings together an interesting range of villains to give them their time in the spotlight and how they operate behind the scenes. The new ongoing series from writer Joshua Williamson and artist Shawn Crystal and Marvel has now revealed the finalized covers for it and a few unlettered preview pages of it.
Plot concept: How do the villains of the Marvel Universe live in a world where the sky is constantly filled with heroes? What do they do when they want out of a life of crime? There is no way out. No future. Till now. Who saves the villains? The Hood does. And he wants everyone to have a place at the table. But first things first – he needs an army. With Titania, Mad Thinker, Thunderball, Black Ant and Enchantress at his side – the Hood might just have all the muscle he needs. They don’t want to just survive – they want to thrive. By any means necessary. Be there as a new team of villains is formed this November in ILLUMINATI #1!
