Secret Invasion #3 was action-packed, cover-to-cover action! We finally get to see those Mega-Skrulls (loaded up with several super-powers) taking on the Young Avengers and the Initiative. This is an incredible battle in the heart of Times Square, and I couldn’t help but think how this can replicated in a video game or even a movie. Brian Bendis and Leinil Yu are doing work here that ranks up along with Roy Thomas and Neal Adams. Never thought I’d say that!
I really don’t think Bendis likes the Vision at all. But he’s gotta come back, right? It’s kind of getting old, though, like when they used to blow up the Metal Men in every other issue of their comic.
Meanwhile, in the Savage Land, that cover where we see Spider-Woman kissing Tony Stark is in play. Tony’s trying to assemble a new set of armor that the Skrulls can’t hack and Jessica shows up. As we all know, Spider-Woman is the Skrull Queen and she lays down a Total Recall type mind-fuck on Tony. I don’t believe a word of it, not at all! It’s too easy to say that the Civil War was the result of a Skrull. Marvel won’t go down that road.
The new Howling Commandos on the last page: Wahoo! Nuff said.
