Annihilation Conquest was awesome.

Can't wait for Galactic Guardians

Also, I hope all Daredevil fans picked up the Black Tarantula one shot last week

You mean Guardians of the Galaxy. I know, it all sounds the same. I can't wait for it also. I has a huge fan of the orginal GotG back in the day. But the new team of Adam Warlock, Gamora,Quasar, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord is a pretty kick-ass cast for the team.

I did perfer Annihilation over Annihilation Conquest but I loved the re-introduction of Starlord. I just wonder when Thanos will pop back into the picture.

Can't wait to see how the events in space tie into the events on Earth.

[craven_fiend]

Thanks for the suggestions in the other thread Rodimus. I may take a look at a few of those. Definitely going to look into Kick Ass.

[Chase]

Hehehe... "mangas."

Skrulls, you say?

Spoiler

Captain America
Archangel
Angel
Illuminati
Cyclops Wolverine Colossus
Doc Ock/Sandman/Electro
Magneto/Scarlet Witch (purple helmet is the sign of the devil)
Thor
Crimson Dynamo (next to Archangel)
Nova
Thing/Torch
Ikaris/Eternals
Exiles Morph/Cannonball?
Phoenix
Giant Man
Sabretooth (nondescript one in the front right side)

All the above are Skrulls, I say.

I heard there are plans for a Kick-Ass movie already.

[st0neface]

So can anyone tell me who was recruiting for Nick Fury in the new Mighty Avengers since tghe thread was closed right after I asked.

Hmmm, I don't know about that. But if you have read the second Secret Invasion comic, you find that things are not as they seem in the skrull ship and something about Hawkeye(Clint Barton, Ronin)

Good thread, I will try to post every Wedensday the Marvel comics. Also, the Guardians of the Galaxy look kick ass. Oh, and Rodimus, X-Force 3,X-Men Divided We Stand 1, Avengers The Initiative 11-12, Captain America 37, Hulk 3, and Last Defenders 2 are really good.

Daisy something from 'Secret War' a few years back

I read X-men Divided we Stand #1 and I wasn't a big fan. Besides Nightcrawler it was a bunch of X-Men who I either don't know or don't care about. But then again I've just now gotten into the X-Titles. And thanks for the nice comment about the thread. I'm aways open for feedback.

The Last panel of New Avengers #40 was mind-bursting. I kinda had an idea but who would've guessed

Spoiler

Spider-Woman is the fucking Queen skrull!!!

With that said I agree with manthing. While it was a great comic the only aspect that tied it to an Avengers title was the very last panel. Still it was brillant. And as for Mighty Avengers it's cool to see what Nicks been up to, but then I have to agree with Manthing again, great comic, but why Avengers? These would've made more sense as one-shots.

[SithFran]

Do you guys get your stuff from a local store or from an online one? I used to get them online with a sweet discount, but had to wait at least a month from when they came out. Didn't mind too much as I don't really have anyone to talk to about comics.

I get my subscription online. It sucks waiting a month, but when I do get them it's like Luke Cage would say, "Sweet Christmas"

Yeah, well I have not read the New Avengers one yet, but I never would have guessed that. But, as I posted earlier, when you read the Secret Invasion #1 and 2 things are really not as they seem. Ok, here is what happened in Secret Invasion#2. DO NOT read unless it is killing you to know a little bit of what happened

Spoiler

Hawkeye(skrull) gets killed, and Clint B(Ronin) takes his Bow and Arrow. Well when Mockingbird finds his body and says that she knew that skrulls must have gotten in, and then Wolverine and Luke Cage find her. So she starts saying she is not one of them and Clint shoots an arrow into Logan's leg before he can kill her. So Clint asks her a question about October 12. And then you find something REALLY, REALLY big about that skrull ship and Mockingbird and Clint

With that said, after reading the what I wrote above I can't wait for the next comic. There is also a REALLY interesting piece at the end of the comic about NY, and it isn't looking good for earth. I would say the score so far is Skrulls:2 Heroes:0

[Rodimus]

How dare you tempt me with spoilers Mr. yukafls

[yukafls]

It is probably killing you to know what happens;)

Don't be a Skrull

Comment about the spoiler in the quote:

Now they didn't EXACTLY say she was Spider-Woman, they merely presented her with the option, hehe. However, if she is indeed Spider-Woman, then good luck Avengers, you're going to need it.

Well, it kinda implied it. But you could be right, after some of the surprises I have seen already, I would not be surprised if it was someone else.

[courageous]

Anyone care to share a good website that I can read summaries or recaps of the Secret Invasion? I tend to just read about it online and pick up trades later on.

[evilomar]

There are several websites with some good summaries/reviews such as IGN and Comicbook Resources. Now you can always try a podcast...ohh I don't know www.aboutheroes.com per say. Damn that was a shameless plug. Did anybody else enjoy The Invincible Iron Man #1 comic as much as I did? Along with The Boys 18 and Rann Thannagar Holy War it was my favorite book this week.

[lokizz]

how far back does this skrull invsion thing go and how is it possible for them to mimic peoples powers? also is there a chance someone could do a running spoiler list of how is confirmed as skrull? im kinda curious to know having been into comics in the 90s.

It goes pretty far back, all the way to the Kree/Skrull war which was released back in the 70's. But the seeds for the story wasn't planted until New Avenger #1 (2004) But what really jump started it was New Avengers #29 when Elektra was found out to be a Skrull. After that little hints were being dropped all over the place.

If you read New Avengers #40 it explains how they're able to mimic their powers undetected. But without spoiling too much it was pretty much the Illuminati's fault.

[coolsteel]

Soo I haven't been following this all too closely, are the Skrulls killing those they impersonate or what?

I bought the first one, and it explained about how Reed Richards hypnotized 3 skrulls into thinking that they were cows. So the skrulls shape shifted to cows, but then somehow they broke out of the trance and attacked the West Coast or regular Avengers....I cannot remember.

[Rodimus]

They haven't said yet. For all we know there could be two of the same hero running around. However the Skrulls like the idea of taking the place of an already deceased hero, since they have a habit of coming back to life anyways.

They actually killed a few of the half Skrulls/cows for meat. And when a few humans ate it they obtained Skrull abilities along with and urge to kill all Skrulls. Very strange. Anyways that group may show up in SI.

Anyone else dislike the Ultimate Thanos arc in FF? It was all so boring.

Was that in the Skrull Kill Krew TPB??

And to reply to the top quote................you have to read the spoiler I put on the other page to find your answer. Man, you must be really dying to know what that spoiler is now.

[Rodimus]

Was that in the Skrull Kill Krew TPB??

Could be, haven't read it. However it's been stated that the Skrull Kill Krew won't played a major role in the Secret Invasion.

[yukafls]

Yeah, I found out about it while searching through amazon. Here is the link

Oh, and how long till you get the Secret Invasion #2??
