All these villains are going to get involved? I think it's too many Sinisters for Spidey. Anyway, let's see the groups:
+ Sinister Six: Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Hydro-Man, Kraven the Hunter (his son/clone, I suppose), the Lizard and we can guess the Question Mark is the return of the original Electro. I don't get why the Lizard would join this group, however.
+ Savage Six: Vulture, Rhino, Scorpion, King Cobra, Stegron and Tarantula (the original one resurrected, apparently).
+ Sinister Syndicate: Lady Octopus, Scorpia, Femae Electro, Female Beetle and White Rabbit. (But I think we are missing the female "Trapster").
+ Foreigner, Chance, Slyde and Jack O'Lantern are working together in the current Chamaleon Conspiracy in the comics. Someone else involved.
+ Group not identified: Shocker, Speed Demon, Taskmaster and Black Ant.
There are two villains that I don't recognize, however. Can somebody help me?:
+ The guy with the purple helmet who is between Kraven and the Scorpion.
+ The guy with the purple mask between the panel with the Question Mark and the panel with Taskmaster and Black Ant.
PD: How is Harry Osborn in Spidey's inner circle? I mean, I don't know who Kindred really is, but I don't think he was really Harry. Still, Peter is really sick of the Osborns.
The guy with the purple helmet is Overdrive, who was part of Boomerang's Sinister 'Six' along with Shocker and Speed Demon. If Boomerang recruits Taskmaster and Black Ant, that will give him a new Sinister Six again.
The purple mask is the Trapster. Since the female Trasptr is missing from the picture, maybe that is supposed to be her--maybe she's adopted the same purple mask her predecessor used to wear. Or maybe the original Trapster is getting involved for some reason. Hypothetically it could also have been an error--the artist was supposed to draw the female Trapstr and drew male Trapster instead...but you'd think an error like that would get caught by the editor and fixed.
As for Harry Osborn, his is/was one of Peter's best friends. In spite of everything that has happened, those emotional ties are still there.

Black cat is getting a major push from Marvel.
Aside from her movie being considered/being worked on? IIRC we have got her in the Pride books and she was the one of the 2 with decent story.
She is also a big part of Marvels and is being featured in Crossroads with Doc Strange.
Yeah is Black Cat and Doc Strange supposed to be a duo now.Personally there are better characters for both to be partnering with and Doc would just be annoyed by Felicia.
The biggest is that she is supposed to be the character who has the 3 infinity stones according to solicits.
I mean the run is currently doing terrible sales wise but I think all this should boost it up.
