Product Description:
Ripped from the pages of New Avengers, the Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev present an explosive hidden story of Marvel's secret past, the secret history of Marvel's most secret team - how they came together and how they are ripped apart. Plus: Spidey's got a new lease on life, new powers and a new costume, courtesy of his new best friend Tony Stark. So what could possibly go wrong? With clouds quickly building on the horizon, the bonds that Spider-Man now forges may very well determine his capacity to withstand a coming storm. The Marvel Universe is about to split down the middle, and the line is drawn here! You will be asked: whose side are you on? Collects New Avengers: Illuminati; Amazing Spider-Man #529-531; Fantastic Four #536 & 537.

- Marvel's "Illuminati"
You know, this is just a great book, a great story leading up to another great story arc, and a cataclysmic event for the Marvel Universe. And really, who else would it be other than these men (Xavier, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Namor, Black Bolt, and Black Pather--did I forget anyone). They may not be your favorites, but who else would be on this council?

I found this very interesting. Although not cruicial to the story of Civil War, it does provide a sound background as to how it all got started and is very cruicial, in my opinion, in understanding the Civil War in its entirety. Definately a good read!

- pretty good
Good points and not so good points.

The concept is outstanding and a long time coming, in my opinion. The overall story is great, one of the best to come out in a while, not as good as DC's Kingdome Come or Justice, but very good all the same.

On the down side, why can't the art on the inside be as good as the art on the cover??? I gess not everyone can be an Alex Ross, alas. Also, the writing really leaves something to be desired. Way too long-winded.

Powerful plotting people.

This gives some of the backstory to the whole Civil War brouhaha in that we again see that some of the most powerful Marvel Universe hero leaders meet in secret to discuss how they should look at the world and their operations in it.

The beginnings of the political split that causes a lot of conflict is here, with Namor and Dr. Strange opposed to Reed Richards and Tony Stark. The X-Men's influence is again negligible.
