From the Kree/Skrull War and the coming of the Beyonder to a secret investigation of the Infinity Gems, this shadowy cabal has been manipulating events behind the scenes for years.

But as the Skrulls Secret Invasion looms, can the isolated Illuminati keep themselves from fracturing under the pressure of paranoia? Collecting NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI (2006) #1 and NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI (2007) #1-5.
