Review: Secret Invasion: The Infiltration
Review: Secret Invasion: The Infiltration |
| Secret Invasion: The Infiltration Posted:  By Brian Michael Bendis Ever since Brian Michael Bendis first took the reigns on the Avengers franchise, he's been building to this story. The Skrulls, a race of shape-shifting aliens, have among them a religious sect that believes the Earth was created for them by their god. They have slowly infiltrated Earth, replacing a relatively small number of key individuals using new technology and techniques that render them undetectable to humans. The infiltration was revealed to the heroes before this series started, and they didn't take the news well. As of the first page of this collected edition, the two Avengers teams have very little trust for their teammates, and even less for the other teams. Spider-Woman is the only Avenger who trusts people on both teams, and even that trust is limited. (This could be due, in some degree, to the fact that it's usually Reed Richards and the rest of the Fantastic Four that have deterred Skrull operations in the past.) This collection is almost devoid of the set-up. Rather, the eight issue "Secret Invasion" miniseries it collects serves as the culmination of five years of planning and plotting. If you want answers to the whys and hows of the invasion, you'll need to pick up the tie-ins collected in New Avengers, Vol. 8: Secret Invasion, Book 1 (v. 8, Bk. 1), Secret Invasion, Book 2 (New Avengers, Vol. 9) (v. 9, Bk. 2), Mighty Avengers, Vol. 3: Secret Invasion, Book 1 (v. 3) and Mighty Avengers Vol. 4: Secret Invasion, Book 2 (v. 4, Bk. 2).... |
