Ok, the graphic novel review you’ve all been waiting for… Ok, not really I mean it did come out in 2009 after all, but it’s what I’ve been leading up to with the last two New Avengers books Secret Invasion 1 & Secret Invasion 2. The good news is, as far as I can tell the Secret Invasion graphic novel is the best of the series, just as Civil War was the best of the Civil War trades. The bad news is, well I’m not sure I have any bad news.
That said, there’s not a lot I can say about the plot of this book because it’s a secret, right. So let’s get right to the spoiler.
So what was my take on this cross-over extravaganza? I enjoyed it. I’m one of those guys that thinks retconning is an actual fun and the idea of Skrulls invading the super human community and turning them against themselves was clever. And, I was actually wrong about who I thought the Skrull heroes would be and I like being proven wrong. My only disappointment was that I wish there were more undercover Skrull heroes.
