Hey, I was just wondering if any of you know any of the appearances of the illuminati BEFORE Hickman's run of Avengers (including storylines important to the overall story), as I know that they appear in many, many issues during his run. I know some appearances (There were several during Bendis' original New Avengers run, and one of the AvX tie-ins), but really don't have the time to dig them out. I'll keep an updated list below of all the issues I know of. Many thanks in advance!

New Avengers Illuminati (v1) #1 - Original 'Road to Civil War' One-Shot

Thanks Especially to Taral-DLOS, haultan1992, havok1997 for contributing and to Iron Maiden for telling me why I couldn't edit this original post. Thanks Guys!
PS: If you're wondering what this is for, I'm trying to create a basic, easy to follow reading order leading up to Secret Wars, and as the Illuminati play a major role during the build-up, I thought I'd follow their story through the ages.
Once Again, Many Thanks!
