Books like The New Avengers: Illuminati

A really cool concept. Some of the heavyweights of the Marvel U are secretly meeting to take on the planetwide threats. Begins with the reason why the Skulls are coming to Earth. Then a couple of really good issues with the Infinity Gauntlet and the Beyonder. The Marvel Boy issue was kind of dumb, but ended on a great note leading into Secret Invasion. These guys that are secretly trying to protect the Earth seem to do more harm than good. The stories are really well written and gives you a look back at some of the biggest events to ever take place in Marvel history.
