So there was a lady Ultron, and the New Avengers killed the leader of the Hand, Elektra. When she died, her body turned into a Skrull, signalling the beginning of an invasion from the shape-shifting aliens. Infiltration apparently sets up Secret Invasion? Which is the next big arc after Civil War, which I finished just before the Avengers movie came out this May.
The last issue of this (Secret Invasion Saga) is SUPER helpful at setting up the backstory to the Skrull invasion. All my Skrull knowledge comes from the couple of Young Avengers stories about Hulking, so it was great to get the bigger picture and a quick recap. I also liked getting the back story on Ms Marvel, because I'm TOTALLY picking up her new title when it comes out.
So, to recap: after Elektra's corpse goes all Skrully, everyone loses their shit realising that the Skrull could be impersonating anyone. The Illuminati break up, realising theydon't want to be in a super secret boy band together can't trust each other.
