It's been a while Anons! Time for Secret Invasion! Lets see how much I can get through without falling asleep from boredom!
ALL ABOARD THE SKRULL PAIN TRAINwe'll be stuck at the savage land for most of the ride unfortunately
Oh good, Bendis is trying to go all "religious" on us...
>>86838017
to be fair the religious junk gives us the best moment in the event
>>86838001
It's Bendis, it's ALWAYS a pain train.Just wait until we get to Avengers vs X-Men
>>86838077
was the skrull homeworld destroyed in Annihilation or some other shit
>"The Avengers went to Japan."
I guess Tony is at least willing to admit that Luke's team is also "the Avengers".
>>86838077
I thought the Skrull homeworld was destroyed in Annihilation, which would've been still maybe a year ago at most in Marvel time?
>>86838066
True, but doesn't mean I won't nitpick the hell out of Bendis to amuse myself.
There were some tie-ins to this series I genuinely liked. Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, that Beast Wonder Man short story
Does anyone have the editorial notes to this first issue? In case you don't remember, THIS is the page where Bendis was going to have Brand fangirling over meeting Dugan, and someone had to tell him "Brian, no. She doesn't act like that. She's got such a stick up her ass, Maria Hill tells her to loosen up."
>>86838215
Herc and the God Squad
>>86838129
>>86838158
Bendis mentions in one of the tie-ins, which serve as flashbacks, that the homeworld was indeed destroyed by the Annihilation Wave. Hence the "wave of destruction" bit in the first page.
>>86838215
Everyone loves the Ms. Marvel tie-in. It's where the meme of Carol's genocidal hatred of Skrulls and love of murder mostly comes from.
>>86838316
Yeah, I get that, but Annihilation (as an event) came out in 05/06, Secret Invasion came out in 08/09. That's a year and a half at most in Marvel time.
>>86838369
See, you know that, I know that, and there's probably a few people who worked on this book who know that. But Bendis didn't, and editorial had enough shit to call him out on that some stuff slips through.
>>86837938
ABSOLUTE MADMAN
>>86838430
You guys had a week to read good comics. Time for the shit.
Which came out first? This, or the Iron Man movie?
>>86838420
I dunno, I usually assume Bendis just ignores or doesn't care depending on how it effects the story. ANd he might have a handle on the marvel cosmic going ons depending on how much you believe the gossip about him wanting Thanos for Dark Avengers and DNA somehow holding him off
So unless I missed an issue (always possible), this is the first time Luke has actually MET Cloak in 616. Yeah, they worked in the same gang in House of M, but here, I don't think they ever actually met before.
We all made jokes about "all black people know eachother" in Spencer's Captain America, but they did that before him.
>>86838481
Iron Man movie came out before this issue, and Incredible Hulk was coming out in the same month.
>>86838579
Well, to be fair, didn't all of the people Layla Miller restored the memories of in HoM keep it when the main universe returned? Cage was the first one she did it to, even though it was off-panel.
Remember, originally it was going to be IRON FIST who said "I thought it was made-up", and editorial had to tell him "Iron Fist has been to the Savage Land, pick someone else for exposition."
Ironically, as we know, he technically never had.
It isn't a trip to the Savage Land if your ride doesn't get wrecked on the way to landing.
>>86838649
Possibly, but that doesn't mean he'd have his phone number, and that Cloak would easily help them rob from Tony Stark.
>>86838711
So..it was Echo who said it? Nobody else makes sense.
>>86838809
Presumably. Everyone else there has been there personally.
>"You're under arrest!"
Because when you're dealing with a crashed Skrull ship, what you definitely don't want is a bunch of superhumans on YOUR side.
I might be alone in this but I was actually disappointed that Secret Invasion didn't go further in revealing who'd been taken captive and which storylines were the Skrulls meddling around with events.
Also...Why the fuck would the Skulls take all of their prisoners to the planet they're invading AND bring them all on the same space ship
>>86838908
>the spoiler
I dunno, authenticity?
>>86838884
>you're under arrest
I don't think you have jurisdiction here Tony?
Wait, they brought Jarvis to the Savage Land?
>>86838908
i'm there too, i was hype for all this "who can you trust, worlds will change, never the same" and it's like nope
>>86839012
he's at the tower fucking with the computers
And in case you're curious why Tony doesn't use Extremis anymore, this shit is part of why. If you hack his armor, you can fuck with his biology.
Helicarrier's getting wrecked? Must be Wendsday.
The idea is basically "all Stark systems in the world are fucked."
>Doctor Doom and Molecule Man are somehow captured and locked in the Raft
I mean, I know Doom got captured in an entire Mighty Avengers arc, where they went to Camelot again, because that's the only Marvel story Bendis gives a damn about, but how the hell did they catch Owen TWICE?!
>>86839012
>>86839044
Spoiler for later on:
Jarvis Skrull actually ends being a kind of okay guy.
Noh-Varr is in charge of the Cube basically by rule of "fuck up the leader and all his stuff is yours."
It was in either Runaways or Young Avengers, I forget which.
>that time Bendis tried to write a continuation of Ellisbolts in Dark Avengers, and missed everything about what people liked about Ellisbolts
>>86839214
both, they shared a civil war tie in mini
>>86839214
It was in Civil War: Young Avengers and Runaways, so you're right either way.
We actually see most of how this goes in Thunderbolts.
>that one fat guy in a Colbert shirt
>>86839283
And it makes the ending to this series slightly less retarded.
>>86839258
>>86839265
Huh, well I'll be damned.
I REALLY feel like it shouldn't be this easy to open a portal to the Negative Zone, especially after the Annihilation Wave. Maybe put a password or something on it, you know?
Yeah, something tells me insurance ain't gonna cover that.
>>86839387
Well, it was a plotpoint in Nova that the earth heroes did jackshit about Annihilation even after they were sent a warning.
>>86839387
well it is all secure in the baxter building, Skrull Sue probably had enough knowledge to get past the few remaining hacks.
did reed even know about the annihilation wave?
>>86839441
No
>>86838579
God dammit Clint.
>Jewel right between Mockingbird and Wanda
Aw look even back then Marvel tried to convince people she was important.
>>86839441
>>86839450
Sorry, what I MEANT to say was "No, this was after that, when Nova personally went to Tony Stark and called him an asshole, and after Star-Lord outright told him in Guardians of the Galaxy 'Don't open that portal."
>>86839442
Yes, he did. They make it a point that they sent a message to Earth so they could help repel the wave, but it was dismissed. Reed thought it was a minor dispute and ignored it, I think Tony though it was a minor thing as well. Nova essentially calls them idiots for giving priority to their stupid Civil War while trillions died.
BTW, the reason the event even happened was Tony and Reed's fault, since they built Prison 42 in the Negative Zone, which prompted Annihilus to start his conquest of the regular universe.
>"God damn it Pym, this isn't the time for you to go all Yellowjacket!"
>>86839530
Well yeah, but we never actually saw Stark tell Reed about that, so it's somewhat understandable Reed would still have that.
Pages like this make me think that an evil Reed Richards (or a Plastic Man) could be a pretty damn good bory horror villain.
>>86839598
Didn't Ultimate Reed get in on that a little?
>>86839576
No, Star-Lord told Reed that in person.
>>86839598
You should read some stories with the Maker (evil Ultimate Reed Richards) if you haven't already.
>>86839553
Oh, and I forgot to mention this, but the Skrull homeworld is destroyed in the Annihilation Super Skrull mini, and Super Skrull actually makes it all the way to Earth so he could go into the Negative Zone, and Reed STILL did nothing.
There's probably someone who can point out exactly which era each of these costumes is a reference to.
I mean, I can tell MOST of them, but I can't recognize which Spider-Man, Wolverine, Beast, or Sue Storm that is.
>>86839613
>>86839634
Wasn't it mostly Humphries who got super body horror?
>>86839720
Ares is so much better than i remember him being.
You know what would've amused me? An Iron Fist dressed in red.
We would've gotten a Skrull disguises a a H'ylthri, disguised as Danny Rand.
>two Spideys having a quip-off in the second panel
>>86839693
Oh, look, Clint is flying again. Classic.
>>86839745
Bendis actually wrote an okay Ares. Why did Stark even choose him on the Avengers though? Completely forgot.
>>86839830
So how op is Void Sentry?
>>86839745
If you want quality Eres, read his mini or Incredible Hercules.
>>86839855
>"We need a Thor and a Wolverine."
>>86839860
Until Seige, nothing ever actually beat the Void, and a lot of people tried.
You can tell he really wanted to reference the "in a cave with a box of scraps" meme in the bottom left panel.
>"Unbreakable skin."
>"Unbreakable claws."
Most instances of surgery on Luke Cage either have them do it without cutting him open, or somehow stop his powers. I don't think they've ever actually answered of Luke can be cut by Adamantium.
It WOULD make a pretty good RPS between them and Sabertooth, who, as you recall, got stomped every time he fought Luke or Danny.
>"I think they need the planet intact."
Okay, that's right, but how could you POSSIBLY know that?
>"I knew we had a Skrull or two in our group before we crashed."
>>86839693
Jeanie's green Phoenix get-up is from early Claremont but she wore it again in the mid '90s, Mockingbird's costume is her original, Beast's look is from the '90s, IronMan's armor is from the era of the first Secret Wars but he wore that for a while considering, That's '70s Cap - you can tell by the pants, Wolverine is sporting the costume he first appeared in to fight The Hulk, Scarlett Witch wore the red leggings in the '80s, White Queen first appeared in a corset so that's from later years but before the Gen X comic, Jessica Drew is wearing her costume from after-highschool superheroing, Thor's in his original look, as is Cage, as is Carol, there's just no telling with Spidey but some people say they can date him by the armpit-webs.
I'm probably wrong about a lot here.
Presumably the bit they're mentioning takes place during West Coast Avengers. Did that issue get released on an October 12th?
>>86840045
They go from making thinly veiled threats to each other to trusting each in the span of ten seconds. Quality writing.
>>86840115
WHY DID YOU TAKE MY OTP AWAYYYYY
>>86840153
So I take it you've never heard of this "Wolverine" character before???
>>86840303
It's not the threats I take issue with, it's them completely trusting each other less than two panels.
>>86840366
They can't just kill each other, that's what the Skrulls want them to do, and if they are still not trusting each other that means that at least one of them is an Earthling, for the time being they have to maintain a stalemate until they can know who their enemies are.
>>86840115
nah this was like june/july.one issue was released on july 4th and american shops didn't get it so /co/ had to wait for a brave Canadian anon to scan it and storytime
And I'm back.
Remember when the Young Avengers were important, instead of it just being "Kate, Billy, his boyfriend, and the others?"
>>86840835
So did Bendis invent that miscarriage bit?
>Blackbolt and Doctor Strange hybrid
Isn't that just a bit OP?
So is this a different Helicarrier? What happened to the one about to drop on a damn city?
>>86841285
maria hill teleported?
Like I said, we end up seeing how this "drink and talk about it" goes.
One of my favorite bits in that is "I know what it's like to now know if you're really pink or green."
>>86841324
i guess there's no actual way to link the NYC Helicarrier and the one Maria's on, Bendis just doesn't care about the rules of comics?
>Yellowjacket at Camp Hammond
I guess he just LEFT Reed there? Or maybe he called for some Skrulls to take him away in a sack.
>that Colbert sign
Okay, I thought that guy in the Baxter Building was just a weirdo, but did the 616 Colbert genuinely run for president?
>"I fear Starktech has been compromised."
As I mentioned, part of hacking Tony's Extremis tech let them hack all Starktech on the planet.
>>86841356
>Bendis just doesn't care about the rules of comics?
So nothing's changed in 8 years, then.
>>86841356
Stop shitposting about your gay stalker-crush, this board doesn't exist for you to fill every thread with your obsessive hateurbation.
>"The Initiative is here."
As much of a shitshow as Civil War was, this was a pretty good premise. Did they really just ignore it after Siege?
>>86841422
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert_presidential_campaign,_2008
There were probably billboards in our New York with the same exact signs up when SI came out.
>>86841515
I think Norman shut it down? Pretty good series tho
>>86841510
wut
>that first panel
Wasn't her mask fabrid or something? Why is it drawn as a single solid piece?
>>86841538
>I think Norman shut it down? Pretty good series tho
No, Norman kept it, just started hiring supervillains to act as his personal army. Half of the Dark Reign era of the book were the old teachers leading a revolt against him.
>>86841583
> just started hiring supervillains to act as his personal army
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>86841531
Huh, I never saw any signs, so I just thought he was taking the piss.
>even in the middle of an alien invasion, women still find reasons to throw themselves at Tony Stark
Well, shit, I didn't see this at first.
Marvel Comics
Despite having withdrawn from the race, Colbert continued to be referred to as a major candidate for the presidency in the comic books of Marvel Comics, polling high among superhumans and mutants. In the Marvel Universe, Colbert's campaign successfully continued as a third party candidate running against both McCain and Obama, on a "Populist" platform.[65] "Colbert '08" paraphernalia appeared in the artwork of various Marvel comics[66] and Colbert himself teamed up with Spider-Man in the October 2008 comic Amazing Spider-Man #573.[67] His policies in the campaign included contacting T'Challa and Doctor Doom for help in fighting the Skrulls.[68] On November 5, 2008, Marvel announced that its fictional newspaper The Daily Bugle was reporting Colbert's victory over both John McCain and Barack Obama.[69] However, several hours later Marvel released a second Daily Bugle article correcting its initial reports, stating that while Colbert had won the popular vote Obama had secured more electoral votes, thus winning the presidency. "Oops, our bad," said Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada of the confusion. "We completely forgot the Marvel Universe reflects what happens in the real world."[70]
>>86841653
God lord, Jess tits are massive.
>>86841538
>>86841610
Okay no, I checked. He replaced it with a Thunderbolts program, with the actual Thunderbolts being a his hit squad. Still, no reason they couldn't bring it back, give superhumans a steady paycheck to act as a National Guard equivelant.
>>86841694
Can you imagine how much she must be tightning down her new suit?
>>86841682
>"We completely forgot the Marvel Universe reflects what happens in the real world"
Yeah, remember the time New York got invaded by shapeshifting aliens?
>Molly Hayes held down by Skrulls
Before you ask, this effect in the first three panels is in the actual book.
>>86841748
It cannot be healthy, really. Blood needs to run!
Also, would be realistically improbable for her to fit in the new costume with all that meat and still be able to move and look great at the same time.
Huh, I should probably finish reading Secret Warriors sometime. Maybe after I finish Doctor Strange and Defenders.
>>86841538
> The Bendis hate
Someone just put up a "we hate Bendis" thread with pictures of his kid.
This has turned into criminal behavior now.
>>86841798
I don't think that's supposed to Molly Hayes, iirc the Runaways didn't really get affected by the Initiative.
>>86841883
No, but they had a few of team-up minis. They had a Secret Invasion one too, so they were together at the time.
>>86841874
The post you originally replied to was about something Bendis had written that was posted in this thread.
Because just using Iceman's powers to freeze him in ice would be too easy.
>Sentry really just fucked off to space after that bit in the Savage Land
>>86837938
Whoops. Missed most of this thread.
Will read a bit, but I need to get to bed soon, so hopefully I can finish it tomorrow.
is this the closest we get to a canon example of Nick Fury "Man on the Wall" stuff
>>86841883
The Runaways and the Young Avengers had a "Secret Invasion" crossover story dealing with the "out" Skrulls that were on their teams.
This event affected them.
>>86838129
No, I think this is the time the Skrull Homeworld was eaten by Galactus.
The Kree and the Skrulls have both burned through a few homeworlds each thanks to Epic Space Writing and aliums not being worth saving in writers' eyes.
>>86842070
He saw this coming, but rather than do what Aaron's shit suggested he's do (shoot a big gun and blow up the Skrull Armada) he started planning with how to beat them when SWORD failed to stop them.
Because he's Nick Fury and he knows they will.
>>86838137
>Marvel Comics Proudly Presents
Remind me again- When did Stan the Man lose his byline?
Sadly, Bendis doesn't give us much good Carol murder.
>>86838267
SWORD is the most useless of all the Marvel Alphabet Agencies, right?
Or were they useful at some point in a single story I missed?
>shoots Carol Danvers with an energy blast
>Carol doesn't just absorb the damn thing
Both sides should know better than this.
>>86838316
>The Savage Land
If Bendis knew what continuity was, this could be a tie in to that time Kl'rt pretended to be Iron Fist!
>>86842183
he shot her with energy because real carol would absorb it and a skrull would die
>>86842120
apparently 2005. He copyrighted it and used it for non marvel stuff i think
One of the Ms. Marvel Secret Invasion tie-ins starts from this "Carol Danvers is surronded by Skrulls who reach out at her in ways that even Chris Claremont would think is too sexual."
>>86838479
>You guys had a week to read good comics. Time for the shit.
I finally made it out of Silver Age X-Anon. Sorta. Still on the Beast solo feature.
Neal Adams is a force of nature.
>>86842094
The Skrull homeworld was indeed eaten by the big G, and Skrulls blame Reed Richards for that because he saved Galactus's life once, but this whole Skrull invasion was planned from day one, it's just what they do with everyone.
>Skrull Jean going Dark Pheonix
>Black Widow manages to kill her somehow
>>86842175
I think the idea is supposed to be that they prevent all of the alien invasions that we never hear about, except we get SO MANY alien invasions, and there's no SWORD book where they stop a different invasion every issue that it sounds like bullshit.
>>86842279
Well yeah, because that's NOT the actual Phoenix force.
The Skrulls are just faking it.
>"They could have killed you with a Matzoh Ball."
Bendis, you know neither of them are Jewish, right?
>>86842267
is the skrull kill krew the closest we get to a callback to the cow skrulls?
>>86839087
Seriously, they have to buy those fuckers by the dozen to be able to replace them so much.
>>86842175
To be fair, they haven't really been used outside of X-men related stories and SI, unless I stand corrected.
So are we supposed to think they have a safe word or something?
>>86842335
Yeah, this is the basic logic of "if SHIELD is so awesome then why does Hydra still exist, trying in vain to take over the world?"
>>86842372
You mean outside the Kree-Skrull War explicitly having the fourth Skrull that didn't get turned into a cow as one of the main villains at the start?
>>86839316
Wait, did that guy shape shift into the special FF belt buckle?
Man this even didn't even hold up that well as I thought it would, and I already had low expectations for it.
The best I can say is that it's still better than Bendis' Age of Ultron and Civil War 2.
>>86842395
Carol's last series had her in charge of SWORD, with Brand as her second in command, with Alpha Flight helping to run the base.
If they didn't get railroaded into Civil War II after their first arc, it could've been one of the best Carol runs we've ever had.
>>86842372
No actually, in the build-up to this the Skrull Emperor found it particularly insulting that Richards turned them into cows, he ranted and raved and killed a random Skrull Reed with a ray gun and then in the end admitted that he didn't even know what a cow was.
>>86842478
That was in one of the Avengers tie-ins to Secret Invasion. Pretty sure it was Mighty Avengers, New Avengers focused on Veranke.
>>86842418
I don't know, with SWORD and The Man On The Wall it's more along the lines of if Hydra happened and SHIELD just basically ignored them completely all the time because they were fighting double secret Hydra.
It's handwavey bullshit that basically makes every story we've actually read an irrelevant addendum to the actual Aliens story.
>>86841964
>bottom panel
I don't know if jerking Reed off will defeat him.
>>86842510
"If we wank him off, he'll be too tired for science!"
>>86839421
The good news is that Johnny gets to reunite with his Ex-Wife over this.
In fact, the Skrull that just did that might have been his ex-wife. My memory of it is hazy.
And suddenly Thor and Captain America.
And we're halfway finished with this trash!
>>86842493
I guess, a second ago I thought it was from that Illuminati comic.
Fucking hell, are they really going to keep cutting back to this? Leave something for the actual Thunderbolts book!
>>86842601
Illuminati did set up a bit, just not that particular bit you're referencing.
>>86839693
Well, it looks like Ditko-Spidey based on the eyes and pit webs, Wolverine is First Appearance, complete with whiskers, Beast is probably Avengers era, but could be anywhere from that to X-Factor.
Sue is probably mid-70s?
>"They cut ALL global transmissions? Even I couldn't do that."
Don't tell me, there's an old scene issue where Nick Fury does exactly that?
>>86839768
Emma Frost has so little business being in this kidnapped hero pod, going by that outfit.
>Doctor Doom telling people to join the Skrulls
Why even bother? The only people who would actually listen to Doom are Latverians, who wouldn't need convincing.
>>86842687
I genuinely think they just had the artist look up "old outfits". Personally, I would've been surprised if they got 90's Cage. 70's Tiara and Silk Shirt Cage would be obvious.
>>86842688
It's interesting to see how many of those major figures are still relevant almost a decade later.
>>86839923
Yu draws weird faces, but he's a good fit for giant monsters.
He'll probably do well for Unleashed.
Credit where it's due, that was a good damn bluff.
>>86842737
Isn't one of those Paris Hilton or something? When was the last time anyone thought about her?
>>86839855
Carol suggested him, they picked the team together.
>pissed off Reed
Man, Brand should count her blessings he doesn't just make a musclebound body like he did during Onslaught.
I think the bit she's mentioning occurred in the Secret Warriors prelude to Secret Invasion.
>>86841230
Not just Black Bolt and Strange. Also Iron Man, and Mr. Fantastic. And probably Professor X.
That fucker's the Illuminati.
>"Nick Fury was right."
So I didn't read the Agents of SHIELD comic. Do they all have jetpacks like this?
>"You're not a Skrull. I checked."
>>86841422
Colbert was willing to do hype work for Marvel, so they threw him come cameo appearances in books around this time- he got to meet Spider-Man!
And they gave him Gruenwald's Cap shield when they announced Death of Captain America.
>Mar-Vell duplicate
>doesn't have the glittering flight trail
>>86842938
>And they gave him Gruenwald's Cap shield when they announced Death of Captain America.
Now that his show's over, does he still have, or was that just the show's thing?
>>86839693
I think they were basically supposed to be Bronze Age-era versions of the characters (Emma wearing her White Queen getup, Beast looking apelike, Luke Cage in his classic outfit, Sue Storm in the classic FF costume, Ms. Marvel in her first outfit, Wolverine with his first appearance costume), except for Spider-Man, who looks more like the Ditko-era early Spider-Man.
There was probably some sort of intention to reveal some of those characters to be real (I know Bendis preferred ape-Beast, for starters) but they probably shot it down for some reason or other.
iirc it was revealed in one of the tie-in issues that the Skrulls in the Savage Land really thought they were who they were disguised as. I know the Captain America did.
Notice they take a LOT of care to try to keep from showing Skrull-Carol's legs. She showed even more.
>>86842960
No he still has it. It's on the set of the Late Show now, just higher up and a bit less visible.
He had a tennis pro serve into it at one point.
>Reed Richards solving the plot, because Tony can't
>>86843001
Now I'm wondering what this story would've been like during the MCU + Anti-Fox era
And that first panel completely gets rid of that point I made about not showing Carol's legs.
>>86843009
Devil Dinosaur girl solves it
>Clint shoots the Skrull in his wife's outfit right in the damn face without hesitation
Damn. Doesn't even think about it.
>Luke Cage looking away as Skrull-Jessica is mauled to death by a tiger
See, difference is, he never KNEW Jewel. I'm beginning to think Bendis forgot that.
>Clint swears vengence and genocide on the Skrulls
Remember, Clint didn't even want Bobbi to kill the supervillain who basically raped her.
Bendis doesn't really "get" Hawkeye.
>>86843022
Honestly, she seems to be confined to her own book, despite the shitposting that "smartest person in the world" announcement caused.
>>86842996
Really? Shit, that's cool.
>>86841859
>Yu can't draw Angelina Jolie well enough to be recognizably Angelina Jolie
And this page is basically the only reason Noh-Varr became the next Captain Marvel.
>>86843063
At least they're consistent with Clint being racist against green people in the new Civil War.
>Medusa going nuts on the Skrulls who kidnapped her husband
>>86841798
I think that's Photon. Man, reading back reminds me of all the cool shit they tossed aside, and still keep doing today.
I never read the Black Panther Secret Invasion tie-in, but I saw the EMH episode. Was it any good?
>>86843087
Yup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMpmamZD9hY
>>86843114
That's why I enjoy these long storytimes.
>>86843120
It was actually fucking brilliant.
Sorry for the delay, I was watching >>86843141
Er, I mean I was watching >>86843140
>"Guilt is good."
Of course Spidey says that.
Well... shit.
>Marvel civilians are on the side of the literal alien invaders
>"Is that lightning?"
God damn, I love me some awesome Thor.
And suddenly, BuckyCap.
>>86843050
Okay, so this is supposed to have been pre-Franklin Sue, then.How the fuck did they not know about at least Franklin? Lyja was part of this plot, and she was literally part of the family after Franklin was born.
>Skrull army vs. Thunderbolts, both Avengers teams, Young Avengers, Secret Warriors Reed Richards, and Ka-Zar
Skrulls don't have a damn chance.
>"Yeah? Well my god has a hammer!"
I won't lie, I still like that line.
>>86843248
See >>86842980
I know for a fact that Skrull Captain America here thought he really was Steve Rogers, I'm guessing the rest of the Skrulls in the Savage Land did too.
When was the last time we had a good old fashioned "Avengers Assemble!" in the comics? It feels like forever.
Bendis, no. You END an issue with "Avengers Assemble!" this extra double-page spread just ruins it.
>>86843259
AND The Hood's C-List supervillain army.
>>86843211
Marvel Civilians had a really piss poor showing in the mid 2000s, what with their open support of WWH, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign... hell, I'm sure some of them were even pro-Serpent in Fear Itself.
>>86843280
Right, sorta lumped them in with Osborn's Thunderbolts in my head.
Having read both of them in the past week on /co/, I gotta say, I think SI is a much funner read than Civil War.
>>86843287
At least in Dark Reign, the idea was that Norman Osborn just had good PR.
>>86843259
Venom skrull
I cant be the only one who finds this a little bit stupid?
>>86843270
Yeah, but why program her to such an early version of Sue?
The Skrulls know about at least on Richards kid, their Skrull Sue Sleeper ought to too.
>Electro-Skrull picking a fight with Thor
You're a god damned fool.
>>86843271
Wait, why is the Hood 20 feet tall?
That's a lot of Wasp-butt.
>>86843271
>Howard the Duck hiding in Stature's boobs
See, Bendis can do subtlety
>>86843316
Magic
>Bullseye with a rocket launcher
I loved this bit of Thunderbolts. Osborn tells him to grab the biggest weapon he can find, and his eyes fucking light up like it's Christmas.
>>86843331
I'm willing to give credit to Yu for that.
>Widow doesn't even bother asking how the new Cap knows her name
>"The Hood, Crime Kingpin"
No Bendis, he doesn't deserve the name "Kingpin".
>"You know when you have to worry, is when Uatu shows up."
>Galactus-Skrull
>Phoenix/Madame Web-Skrull
>>86843377
I hate introductions like that every issue. Something about it is so goddamn corny.
>>86843395
More likely Phoenix/Vindicator Skrull, connected by way of Wolverine wanting to fuck them.
Wait, are we supposed to think this is the same Jarvis-Skrull that was on the Helicarrier?
>>86843398
Eh, I like me some corniness in comics. When we get shit that tries to take itself too seriously, you get shit where they try to make all comics Tactical and crap.
>>86843421
Yep, events are always poorly planned out.
Seriously, a Helicarrier goes from NY to the Bermuda Triangle while crashing.
>Noh-Varr gets an entire damn page to be badass
>>86843437
>Geegee
Man, Skrullbaby is fucking confident his side is gonna win.
>Jessica Jones flying to the middle of a war zone
>>86843416
Are there ANY redheads Wolverine doesn't want to fuck?
>Hawkeye gets a shot right in Veranke's cheek out of her mouth
>>86838369
I thought that the Skrull throneworld was destroyed by Galactus years ago in that FF issue. Reed ended up going on trial for saving the world eater
>>86843469
Banshee?
>this flashback
By sheer luck, I also managed to storytime this issue of Mighty Avengers.
>>86843451
Not a Skrull, going by Jarvis's narration. Bendis genuinely forgot that page.
>>86843480
Drugs, everybody!I'll delete if you're too close to image limit for this
Uh oh.
>>86843508
By which I mean THIS.
Last issue of this shitshow, everyone!
>>86843508
Thankfully, Bendis doesn't make this last issue THAT long.
>>86843500
>Baby Good Game going "Dis Nigga"
Remember that time Gail Simone made that "some women deserve to be fridged" tweet about Jan here?
>>86843532
That said... I don't think I can justify being up even this late. I need to get to bed. I work tomorrow and have a Thanksgiving thing to go to. Need sleep.
Will finish tomorrow.
I genuinely do not like Yu's composition, throughout this series. It's really muddled and flows poorly within the image.
>no Daredevil looking in the wrong direction
So apparently Veranke is nearly immortal, and anything the characters would have done wouldn't have killed her. The only reason Osborn got her was because he hijacked Deadpool getting that info for Nick Fury early in Way's run.
>>86843553
Don't worry Anon, you can read in the morning.
So yeah, this is most of the people who got replaced.
>>86843590
I know this is an alien invasion but that doesn't seem very heroic.
>>86843619
Skrulls are like Hand ninjas. It's not murder if it's THEM.
>"They took the baby!"
Notice Jessica never refers to Danille by name. Do you think Bendis forgot what he named Luke and Jessica's child?
>>86843612
Even Elvis, I knew it.
>>86843619
You know how people irrationally hate humans? The same applies to skrulls, but multiply that by 10x.
Wait, did they kidnap a bunch of Hydra agents too?
>>86843644
Shit, I meant "do you know how people irrationally hate mutants"
God damn, Bobbi's mask is fucking big.
>"You can't have a negative zone portal in your living room and not have a contingency plan, sweetie."
That sounds like the kind of line he put in when people gave him shit for the first issue.
>Ben and Johnny bickering
Just like old times.
>the Baxter building automatially starts to repair itself
I guess after Doctor Doom blows up your wall every other week, fixing it gets tiring.
>this entire page
Takes more than one event for you to stop being a shitbag, Tony.
>"Our planets no longer exist."
Don't the Skrulls have a LOT of planets? Fucking hell, did they ALL get wrecked?
So yeah, Marvel's President is a fucking twit, since not only did he put Maria Hill in charge, he also put in charge...
NORMAN "GREEN GOBLIN" OSBORN!
Well... this sucks.
>>86843712
The annihilation wave tore through most of their planets, then Ultron came along and fucked everyone shit. By that point, they barely had anything left. Hell, Skrull casualties were astronomical.
And that's it for Secret Invasion Anons! See you tomorrow, when we go back to New Avengers!
>>86843750
Thanks for the storytime!
>>86843721
>>86843726
>Bush's last act is to put Osborn in charge
>>86838990
The savage land is off limits under international law so he does.
