Of the thousands and thousands of heroes and humans affected by the Skrull invasion, one man’s horror and heartbreak rises above the rest. This is the story of Luke Cage!
Who’s a Skrull? Jessica or the baby? Neither? Who didn’t tell Jessica that Jarvis was a Skrull and therefore NOT an appropriate baby sitter? If the baby ISN’T a Skrull, what does Jarvis want with it?
Even with their new Super-Skrull forces, the Skrulls are reduced to fighting like cowards. Unable to cope with the X-Men’s guerrilla tactics, the damned dirty Skrulls have taken thousands of San Franciscans hostage and the X-Men have minutes to decide id they can/will be just as ruthless…
The hunt for Black Bolt concludes – launching the Inhumans into their new destiny in the Marvel Universe! It’s sister vs. sister, cousin vs. cousin, Kree vs. Skrull! The loyalty lines are redrawn within the royal family as the Inhumans’ mission reaches critical mass! Can Medusa and her tribe get it together to save their once and future King? Or has it all been for nothing? The seeds for the WAR OF KINGS are planted right here!
I was enjoying this, but not all that into the bikini catfight aspect of the story - seems gratuitous. I am interested what kind of fallout will result from this Inhuman alliance with the Kree.
Is your enemy’s enemy really always your friend? Medusa seeks out the Kree to help take on the Skrulls in #3 of 4. This epic miniseries will not only decide the fate of Black Bolt but also lead into Marvel’s plans for the Inhumans in 2009.
If you’ve been wondering what happened to all the Skrull impostors during House of M, New Avengers #45 is the backstory for you. Looks like the Skrull empress seems aware of the change in reality…

Last night we made our appeal to you on ESPN2. Today, MTV embraces the change that we offer and have chosen to re-air our groundbreaking television commercial.
With those simple words, and the actions that they entail, all can be resolved. We can finally put an end to aggression, violence, and strife. Remember, He loves you all so very much.
The Skrulls are a displaced race of aliens, whose homeworld has been destroyed, and have come to Earth as part of their prophecy that the Earth is their planet by divine right. With the ability to mimic any human, language, or power, these shape-changers have resources of over 5,000 characteristics, and are focused on utilizing these to bring forward a message of change to those around the world. Areas of emphasis include containing disease, disarmament of all countries, elimination of international debts and poverty, food and shelter for all citizens, and cessation of bigotry and violence.
Rooted in their scriptures, theirs is a belief of change and the knowledge that “He” loves you. Their current advances into Earth have been chronicled by Eisner Award-Winning writer Brian Michael Bendis, and rendered by artists Leinil Francis Yu, Mark Morales, and Laura Martin and published by Marvel Comics. Although their actions seem skewed through these Earthlings’ lenses, the Skrulls’ strategy is to leverage its message of change in a growing array of opportunities around the world.
According to their own tight-lipped precog, this team’s days are numbered. I hope they manage to prove her wrong. Paul Pelletier’s beautiful artwork seems to get better with ever title he touches and he was already brilliant when he did Superboy and the Ravers. But I want to see him stick around for 60 issues or so.
Can the divided teams reunite and conquer the Skrulls? Can Hulking fulfill the prophecy and become a Skrull messiah? What will become of Xavin after the dust settles in this concluding chapter?
Marvel’s mutants recent mass exodus to the bay area took the San Francisco Skrulls by surprise, but they’ve brought in some reinforcements who they THINK can handle the X-Men. Smart money is on the mutants.
This title has been another pleasant Secret Invasion surprise. If you told me months ago that I’d look forward to a title about Hercules and a whiz kid, leading D-list gods against the Skrull pantheon, I’d have been skeptical, but it kinda rocks.
Captain Britain is back from the dead, AGAIN. It’s hard to keep a myth down. Now he’s gonna kick some magic Skrull ass. I stick by my statement that this title is the best thing to come out of Secret Invasion.
Here’s hoping we get to find out more about Hulkling’s prophesied place in the Skrull religion this issue… Xavin has NOT turned on the Runaways, he realized the only way to keep them alive was to take them out, so that’s what he/she did.
