The hyper-powered world of Crackdown (Xbox) has made its way to the comic page! In the not-so-distant future, civilized society is more plugged-in and interconnected than ever – but criminal organizations are growing more connected as well, forming unholy alliances, and plotting for an unprecedented campaign against the world. When a series of devastating blackout attacks plunge major metropolitan areas into darkness and chaos, the global population is terrified, traditional law enforcement is overwhelmed – and it's up to The Agency, an elite international crime-fighting task force, to restore peace and deliver justice, by any means necessary.

The annuals then took a break again until 2002, when the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie came out, again raising public interest in the character. Since then there has been a Spider-Man Annual each year, published by Marvel's current UK license holder, Panini; the 2007 annual (cover dated 2008) was renamed as Spider-Man 3 Annual, to tie in with the third Maguire movie's release, but the name reverted back a year later.

When the Man of Steel was on a nonstop crusade to save the world, a team of dedicated young heroes rose to help protect the streets of Metropolis: the Supermen of America. Now the super-powered heroes take center stage in SUPERMEN OF AMERICA: a 6-issue miniseries that picks up where their action-packed one-shot left off. Written by Fabian Nicieza (JUSTICE LEAGUE: A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHTMARE, X- Men) with art by Doug Braithwaite and Robin Riggs (SUPERGIRL, Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty), SUPERMEN OF AMERICA #1 reintroduces the group's Elite Brigade, Outburst, White Lotus, Brahma, Loser, and Pyrogen. Their skills sharpened by intensive training, the teenaged Supermen think they're ready for anything. But they're about to face challenges greater than anything they've encountered so far: first, learning to deal with an abrasive, tough-as-nails new member named Maximum; and second, confronting a problem that starts small in the alleys of Metropolis's Suicide Slum, but rapidly grows to proportions that may be more than they can handle! With Superman nowhere to be found, will the Supermen be able to keep Metropolis in one piece?
