SPOILERS OF WAR: Secret Invasion #3

[Jonah Weiland]

In this week's “Secret Invasion” #3, the Skrulls take Manhattan, heroes turn on each other, and a long-absent ... well, we won't spoil it. Writer Brian Michael Bendis joins CBR to help navigate the intricacies of the issue page-by-bloody-page.

I still don't get why Captain Skrull-Vell is attacking the Thunderbolts. Didn't he decide to rebel against his fellow Skrulls at the end of his mini?

Did he hurt any of the good guys, one or more was probably a Skrull and he took them all down, Villian, Skrulls no good guys here to worry about. That my best guess.

So Spiderwoman has been the Queen Skrull right from the very beggining, before New Avengers #1. That means she knows everything - Quake, and how she works, so there is no mystery, here, and when the Howlers come marching in, be prepared that Skrull Queen has a way to take Daisy out. I was hoping Jessica was switched at NA #15, when MA #14 showed the Skrull meeting, but now it seems like Jessica never existed, and the Skrull Queen just took a fresh identity. I feel cheated of seeing a kickass heroic Jessica Drew, when all the time it was a fake.

Bendis is so non-commital about Tony being a Skrull that it looks like Tony is just being messed with, instead of actually being Skrully, and that disappoints me.

What are the powers of Nick Furey's team again?

I knew these guys could not be taken out so easy by the New Avengers and the Initiative..... Seriously...... They were made to stop the Avengers, etc.

Holy big s$#% @ Fury's gun lol

He totally plasma f$#%ed that skrull into apple sauce with that big s@#%.

But I'm gonna be pissed if Stark ends up a Skrull. Sneaky Marvel writters. I liked the fact Toney was a human leading the humans for the Civil War and I definantly liked seeing him "sort of" portrayed as the bad guy during the Civil War. That take on his character was well done I thought.

But yeah, this was an awesome issue.

Skrulls are brutal. If they had theme music, it would be Metallica.

What are the powers of Nick Furey's team again?

They're all in Mighty Avengers 13.

I remember the Puerto Rican chick has super speed and some guy has a chain that catches on fire or somthing lol. Or he grabbed the chain and made it to fire lol.

I e-mailed Dan Slott and asked him, “I’ve got to start popping off some guys here, who can I pop off?” He gave me a list. I know people hate it when they find out there’s an execution list. They’re like, “I want to see that list!” But I ‘m telling you this because Dan put a lot of thought into these characters and some of them were built for this. He knew going in what was going to happen. So this is Dan Slott approved. Blame him!

Not to discount Bendis, but I wonder if this goes even deeper. Proton, IIRC, was the 616 version of Geldoff in Ultimate Spidey, right? Bendis created the original Geldoff and he turned out to be something of a joke (putting it lightly!!). The moment I saw Geldoff in 616 continuity, I just thought the guy wouldn't have much of a happy ending. I guess it's fitting for Bendis to put the final target on his head.

I loved the issue...Bendis did a great job of balancing the different scenes, characters and locales, which is not always his strong suit.

Nitpick: whomever is responsible for the recap page spoiled the spider-Woman reveil by clearly marking her as a Skrull on.

My guess for what going on in that scene with Tony and Jessica is that shes activating some brainwashing the Skrulls did in NA:Illuminatti when they were caught. Stark has that same kinda look he had when he was their prisoner.
