Book Reviews of New Avengers: Illuminati
Book Review: A tremendous series
Summary: 5 Stars
I was surprised to see the mixed reviews here at Amazon to this series and it was the sole reason I waited so long to read it. In fact, I only purchased it because I wanted to be a completest with my New Avengers collection.
To my surprise the series was fantastic. Basically six major heroes in the Marvel Universe work together secretly to end major crisis's before they begin.
First the group strikes a powerful blow to a ship of would-be Skrull conquerors. This may have been the event that set the whole secret invasion off.
Next they round up the Infinity Gauntlet and all the Infinity Gems to prevent them from being used again.
Then they locate the Beyonder and finally revel who or what he really is. I really enjoyed this issue as it tied up a lot of long hanging loose ends with the Secret Wars and Beyonder stories.
Finally, there is more Skrull story which preludes to the secret invasion.
A very good story and if Blackbolt seems out of place with this group it is adequately explained in the Beyonder issue.
I would be in favor of future Illuminati adventures.
Summary of New Avengers: Illuminati
The Illuminati is a secret organization comprised of several of the world's most powerful heroes: Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme; Black Bolt, king of the Inhumans, Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men and mutant-rights activist; Reed Richards, founding member of the Fantastic Four; Namor the Sub-Mariner, king of Atlantis; and Iron Man (Tony Stark), founding member of the Avengers. These six men have worked together to mold and shape the status of the superhuman world and the world around it. How and what they have done together has remained a mystery...until now! Writers Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man) and Brian Reed (Ms. Marvel) have joined together with Jim Cheung (Young Avengers) to reveal this untold story of the Marvel Universe and how the Illuminati's actions affect today!
