The current Amazing Spider-Man has made much of a new supervillain gang, an all-female version of the Sinister Six, known as the Sinister Syndicate.

Today's Amazing Spider-Man #27 lays out why, in the Marvel Universe, such a thing may be both necessary and desirable, as their target is Spider-Man's roommate and previous Sinister Six leader, Boomerang.

Together? It may be a different story… how this may refer to modern-day society is entirely at your interpretation, of course.

Amazing Spider-Man #27 is published by Marvel Comics today.
