Siege: The Cabal Second Printing Variant features the stunning interior of art of Lark on the cover and arrives in stores the same day as Siege #1!

"Overall Siege: The Cabal sets the stage for the main event quite well. Bendis' story left me with just the right amount of questions while still providing an enjoyable one-shot story."—Tim Lenaghan, IGN.Com

"It's a good way to kick things off"—Chad Nevett, ComicBookResources.Com

"Lark and Gaudiano do an excellent job bringing a high level of realism to the proceedings without losing the element of the fantastic that is necessary."—Paul Brian McCoy, ComicsBulletin.Com
