Tony Stark watches the scene in horror and wishes he had the technology that is almost within his reach—a new hyperintelligent instant control system that could have given the aircraft advance warning.

The cunning adversary has already infiltrated Stark Industries security to develop a version of the instant control mechanism that will take over the armored suit and turn it against Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. While Tony races to track down the source of the intrusion, Zola unleashes direly ingenious computer viruses and the ultimate secret weapon: a murderous clone army based on Stark’s most trusted friend. A puppet master of self-replicating terror, Zola is plunging a city into a war that threatens to consume all in its wake.

Until a mysterious agent of retribution rises up from the shadows to challenge the villains. A lone figure, clad in a slouch hat and clothes seemingly stitched from the blackest shadows, masked in the guise of a skull-faced death - a Grim Death - emerges with guns blazing. With him, a wronged ex-con clad in the striped costume of his misfortune - Bill the Electrocuted Criminal.  
  In this 1930s pulp-style novel, two dark new characters by New York Times best-selling author and comic book writer Tom Sniegoski and New York Times best-selling, award-winning creator of Hellboy Mike Mignola, who also worked on the Hellboy movies with Guillermo del Toro, take to the street to fight the growing infection of organized crime.
