The New Avengers Vol. 5

The Secret Invasion is in full swing & this book is a great supplement of stories that give more of a back-story than a side-story.  I like all of the planning & build-up that the Skrulls have set in motion to prepare for their invasion.  This volume & Brian Michael Bendis's Avengers run as a whole has given me a new appreciation for the Secret Invasion story-arc.  I would recommend that if you're are looking at reading Secret Invasion or any event set forth from Marvel Comics from Avengers Disassembled to the current running Secret Wars make sure you are reading the Avengers titles concurrently alongside it.  The X-Men are still relatively separate but are still involved with major Marvel events.  This volume alone makes me want to pick up Secret Invasion again & reread it.
