Illuminati #5 - Marvel

This is another Marvel book that doesn't really tell us what's going on, but serves the purpose more of setting us up for a future storyline. We learn this issue that Black-Bolt is also a Skrull. After Jessica brought the Elektra / Skrull to Tony, he decided that it was time to get the Illuminati together again. He needed to show them the true threat that they faced, and because he felt responsible for what was happening because of their previous actions. They go through the usual posturing and arguing, and can only agree upon the fact that they need to dissect the specimen and figure out why they can't detect or track it. Even if they have to go down to a cellular level. Their real argument comes from taking the responsibility that their visit to the Skrull home-world was the fire that ignited the current act of war. And also because some of them wanted to believe that this was just a singular threat. Not the conspiracy of war that Tony was attempting to illustrate. But, when they're ready to take the body away, that's when Black-Bolt shows his true form and tries to take out the rest of their little contingent. He turns out to be some kind of Super-Skrull, and it takes all of their efforts to defeat him. Unfortunately, it's only a prelude to an attack, apparently, by the squadron he was leading. This will prove to much for them, so Tony uses a little used tactic by tapping in to a half dozen neighboring nuclear plants for power, and blows them up in one big surge. Now, with a brief respite, they're again left with the question of what to do. And again, they can't agree on an answer. They only thing they can agree on, is that they no longer trust one another. Namor is the first to take off, but eventually they all follow suit. This issue started with Tony sitting alone over the dead body of Elektra. And that's exactly how it ends. Like I said, not a lot of answers handed out. Just a whole lot more questions. The next issue blurb says, "The Skrull threat continues in Secret Invasion!" So we've gone from Civil War, to World War Hulk to Secret Invasion. It seems like the Marvel Universe can't really catch a break right now.
