'Dark Reign' to end with 'Siege'

Marvel's inter-company crossover series Dark Reign will draw to a close with a new story arc titled Siege, according to writer Brian Michael Bendis.

In an interview with G4TV, the scribe revealed that the plotline will see Norman Osborn's reign of terror come to an end. It will also feature the long-awaited reunion of classic Avengers trio Thor, Iron Man and Captain America.

A prologue issue titled Siege: The Cabal, drawn by Michael Lark, will precede the four-issue series. The book will bring an end to the union of supervillains known as the Cable, pitting Doctor Doom against Osborn.

Marvel's only official statement on the event is: "Stay tuned for news from the Diamond Retailer Summit next week."

Siege: The Cabal is released on December 2, followed by the four-part miniseries in January.
