their new lives as outlaws! The hunt is on for Luke Cage, Spider-Man,
Wolverine, Spider-Woman, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist - and someone taking on the
mantle of Ronin! But when the rebel team finds a huge clue to the threat that
has faced them since the day they banded together, will the truth destroy them
from within? Or will that honor go to the Hood and his army of super villains?
