About This Book:
The clouds are quickly building on the horizon for a storm that will split the Marvel Universe down the middle, and the line is drawn here! You will be asked: Whose side are you on? Well, whose side are you on? Ripped from the pages of NEW AVENGERS comes the explosive hidden story of Marvel Universe's secret past, the secret history of Marvel's most secret team - how they came together, and how they are ripped apart - setting the stage for CIVIL WAR. Meanwhile, Spider-Man's got a new lease on life, new powers and a new costume with some very special features - courtesy of his new best friend, Tony Stark. So what could possibly go wrong? Lots, True Believer. The bonds that Spider-Man now forges may very well determine his capacity to withstand the coming storm. And finally, a mysterious object has fallen from the heavens to crash in the Midwest, and Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four has been called in to try to piece together the mystery surrounding it. What is it, and how will it lead into CIVIL WAR and the return of a Marvel mainstay? Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #529-531, FANTASTIC FOUR #536-537 and the NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI one-shot.

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
In the aftermath of the Kree/Skrull War, Iron Man calls together a meeting with Dr. Strange, Reed Richards, Professor Xavier, Black Bolt and Namor, and suggests that they form a private unit to pool their resources in order to fight menaces to the world that are greater than any of them can handle on their own or with their separate teams and to take on proactive measures to head off problems before they arise. Their agreement is tenuous but holds over the years, until the moment when a decision to shoot the Hulk into outer space is splits the unity of the group. Namor and Iron Man fight out their feelings, and the group is left shattered....

The Fantastic Four are called to Oklahoma to respond to an emergency related to the crash and find an army of Doombots have overtaken a laboratory the US Army had set up at the crash site.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #529: "Mr. Parker Goes to Washington Part 1" After discussing with Peter how he helped heal Mary Jane's broken arm so quickly after it had been injured, Tony unveils the new costume he has developed for Spider-Man, full of the latest Stark technology. His first test with the new costume is to use it against a couple of thugs who have tried to pull off a kidnapping. Spider-Man finds he has much to learn about his new costume, but is very enthusiastic about its potential. Later, Tony asks his young protege to swear a "blood oath" to him to follow him no matter how events in the future may unfold. Peter agrees, and Tony shares with him that he's been asked to appear before a congressional hearing concerning a possible Super-Human Registration Act.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #530: "Mr. Parker Goes to Washington Part 2" Tony asks Peter to accompany him to Washington so he can try to reason with the Registration Act commission. A version of the new Spider-Man costume that Tony has developed on the fly can now respond to Peter's thoughts.

As night falls, in an isolated section of forest, Iron Man meets with Titanium Man and gives him a briefcase full of cash, thanking him for a job well done....
