the New Avengers : Illuminati #1 - Marvel


Ok, the Illuminati have been around longer than any of us even knew. Now we're going to get to see some of their early adventures and how their involvement may have changed things, and set things in motion, that we may not otherwise have had to deal with. This particular issue picks up right after the Kree / Skrull war. They have gone to the Skrull home world. The high emperor is supremely disappointed over the loss, and the beating, they took while trying to conquer earth. Well, while their down, our little group decides to make a presence and hammer the message home, "Stay away from earth". The problem being, the Skrull race, and home world, is much larger, and more aggressive than they ever even imagine. So as they're trying to leave, and head home, they're shot down and taken as POW's. They keep them alive, because they each possess a unique ability or talent. So they want their scientists to study them. Well, we don't know how long this has gone on, but eventually, while trying to trick Tony into thinking that the rest of the Avengers had come to rescue him, they get a chance and make a break for it. The destruction they leave behind is incredible, but the Emperor doesn't care. He wants to know if the scientists got all the information they were looking for. "Tell the priests of the sciences to get to work. They know what to do. Tell them no matter how long it takes . . . . I'll wait!". So I'm thinking that whatever information they delved from their tests, will make the Illuminate ultimately responsible for turning them into an even more dangerous race. Can't wait to see what happens next issue.
