Event Fatigue is a term being thrown around alot
lately, with Civil War, World War Hulk, and Infinite
Crisis to name a few. But honestly, if your a comic
book fan then wouldn’t events be a good things. But I
understand to some that event fatigue came from some
of those events not being very good, or not delivering
on all their promises.

But there is a new event that premiered this following
week, the highly anticipated SECRET INVASION, written
by Brain Michael Bendis. Now this one starts off fast
and furious with great reveals and plenty of jaw
dropping moments of disbelief. When I read I rarely
make noises aloud, but I used 4-5 expletives during
the reading of this issue. The issue reads at an
incredibly quick pace. I don’t want to spoil much
more, but I would give this issue a shot, especially
if you read any major marvel book.

Let me focus on the artwork for a moment, Lenil Yu’s
pencils are fantastic in this issue, it doesn’t seem
as
hurried as it does in New Avengers. Probably because
there is a different colorist and an actual inker. It
seems that as soon as Lenil is done with his previous
agreements with Bendis, he will be snatched up by
another creator much like McNiven, Finch, and other
artist were.

I can’t judge this event yet, obviously because it
just started. But judging just the first issue, it
gets me wanting to buy the next issue right now! And
even the spin offs. So as an issue #1 it is a near
perfect start to an epic story. (That I hope to God
doesn’t turn out badly)
