Review:

This book is a tie in to main Secret Invasion story.

I thought this was good especially once it got passed Jessica Jones' boring scenes. I've said it before and I will say it again, she is one of the most boring and useless characters in the Marvel Universe.

This story has the Skrulls planning to invade Earth. But first they plan to infiltrate the world's heroes and mutants to make it so that no one will know who to trust. And it's working because many of the heroes have split into factions.

This was a very Skrulls heavy story but it's still interesting. I enjoyed reading this and two of my favorite scenes were: 1) issue #39, Echo (Maya Lopez) and Wolverine were fighting off a Super Skrull and 2) issue #41, where Ka-Zar and Shanna were telling Spider-Man about the Skrulls (in disguise) setting up camp so they can steal the vibranium from the Savage Land.
