So we begin with the ending of Illuminati #1. We see the falling out of the queen whom is mentioned in Mighty Avengers last week and we see the absolute anger and hatred that the skrull's have for Reed Richards ( for turning the king's family member into a cow!). We are then treated to some information about how the new and improved Super-Skrull's are created and that can lead to some very interesting speculation on how their data has been recorded. I found myself so engrossed in this particular sect of the skrulls that I almost start to feel sorry for them, and that is the power of Bendis. Here he takes a group that I fully dislike at the beggining of this story, and moves them to a point where I start to feel sorry for them.
Much like Mighty last week we get a scene that will allow discussion and speculation into who has been replaced as a skrull, and we find out why Electra was replaced and what her Skrull counter part has reported back. Then in the final of all twists we are teased with a reveal, and more than that we are teased with whom is doing the impostering.
I would be remiss to forget Jim Cheung, he does a fantastic job here. You see the rage in the Skrull king, you see the outrage in the queen that her warnings are being ignored. The tears in her eyes are incredibly poignant. A fantastic job all around.
The story behind Secret Invasion is one we've all heard, we've built up our preconceived notions about it's absurdity, which Bendis pokes a little fun at in his scripting of a skrull who asks how can this time be different, and yet with 22 pages I feel like what I've felt about this invasion has been completely turned on it's head. Bravo Sir!
Art: 5 - Excellent
