Really there's lots of things going on this issue. First we see Jigsaw trying to pull off quick snatch and grab, but he's humiliated by Tigra. Our normal team is heading towards Avengers Tower. They've learned that a villain called the Hood is planning to launch an attack on them. But, on their way there, they find that a virus has taken over the citizens of New York and is turning them in to symbiotes. But the biggest part of the story is that the Hood is trying to form a type of crime syndicate. He's gathered villains from all over, and his plan is for them all to help each other. Plus he's offering protection. "During all of this . . if you're having trouble with a hero? We'll take care of that the way it should have always been done. The way the Triad does it. Someone does something you don't want . . . you kill their family. You destroy them spiritually." And he starts out by helping the Jigsaw. He goes after Tigra. He goes to her apartment and beats the crap out of her. But he lets her know that he's not going to kill her. That . . . he's saving for her mother. Which he has on his cell to prove it. "You do what I say when I say or I will kill your mother. I will kill her . . . . then I will kill you too." Then, through some intelligence, they get a Deathlok from the Owl and pull off a robbery for 12.7 million. As they're celebrating their victory, they see the footage on the news of the Avengers fighting all the symbiotes in New York City. The Hood, looking at the screen says, "Do you see what I see? Opportunity. Grand opportunity." Of course it's a fantastic story, it's written by Brian Michael Bendis. And the artwork of Leinil Yu gets better and better every issue. Fantastic book, and fantastic series.
