New Avengers #38 (2008)

Titled, “The Breakup,” this is one of those issues you really have to read.  There’s some “check-in” stuff, but it’s not really that important.

Like they get a new hideout that used to be The Leader’s place.

Then Jessica Jones shows up with some words for Luke Cage.

Jessica Jones recently registered as a superhuman, believing it was the best way to keep her and Luke Cage’s baby safe in the coming war against the skrulls.  Cage believes Tony Stark is a skrull and that Jones sold out their marriage. 

They argue for this issue and go their separate ways.  It’s a powerful standalone story, and a prime example of what makes for great Bendis comics.
