Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers, particularly the team that branches off from Tony Stark after Civil War might do the trick.

Marvel's post-civil war team book, The Order is a book my friends say is criminally under-rated.

It also uses the DC Martial Artist Hierarchy better than anyone, and actually makes Lady Shiva a seriously awesome character. The "Sensei and Student" arc is particularly good for tips on how to use villains well

DV8 is a very, very solid suggestion. Of course, Judd beat me to it. ;)

Do you read Top 10? In its' own way, it's street level, complete with street crime.

Other than that, I love all the suggestions you've already been given. My final suggestion? Move back to MA and let me play. :D
