OK.
So now everyone on the ship but Mockingbird and maybe Captain America were Skrulls.
And New York is being besieged by an army of awesome Super-Skrulls. With no one but the Young Avengers defending it.
Excellent.

Kinda weak issue, one thing I do like is Ronin grabbing Skrulleye's bow and arrow, and taking a few names.
Which Spider-man got trampled is the question?
And was the TRex a Skrull as well, or being controlled by someone?
I didn't get that from the issue. What I did get was a majority of them could be Skrulls, but some of them may be real.
Captain America is definitely a Skrull.

Just because mockingbird says so doesn't make it true since most where Skrulls since even if she's the real deal how could she really know?
I didn't infer that the ship was all Skrulls except for Mockingbird either, although if that is the case it would have been nice to have a few more of the reveals right there. Looks like Mockingbird is pretty solid.
I agree with Houde, the issue was pretty weak story wise. It wasn't bad, just kind of uneventful.
Yu's art was AWESOME though - it's different from his recent New Avengers work but I still like it. It's a lot brighter and more crisp.

I love discoball spidey, they should make that standard
this issue was decent, it just felt like not a whole lot happened though, Mockingbird coming back I couldn't care less about, and I found the Clint/Echo hook-up more interesting
Cap's a skrull...or LMD gone hay-wire
the lack of more noh-varr disapointed me, If bendis handles him properly I will forgive him for the Ultimate Clone Saga

Seems like Bendis is trying to pull a morrison with reintroducing an underused character and making them important to the story but ending up unused throughout the series and, at best, a minor plot tool like Layla in HoM.

So, that wasn't very good. I spent four bucks for that?
It's a shame, because I want to keep reading Secret Invasion, but there's no way I'm going to keep spending four bucks on a book where nothing interesting happens.
and reading page by page commentary by Bendis only makes it worse.

It wasn't bad.
Not as great as #1 but that's ok. We're looking at an 8-issue mini, so as long as it doesn't fizzle out or become just issue after issue of talking heads like Civil War I'll be happy.
To be honest if this is on the same level of quality as House of M, I'll be estatic.
I like how Bendis used the Classic Avengers as Skrull decoys to draw the New/Mighty Avengers away from the apparent big invasion in Manhattan. From a strategic standpoint it's always a best idea to distract the main forces and attack the weaker side. And that's just what the Skrulls have done. The Avengers are stuck in the Savage Land trying to figure who they can still trust, meanwhile the Skrull empire is invading NY with Skrull super-armor that looks like it copies various heroes.
Adding to even more confusion is the return of 'Bird. I honestly think that she is, in fact, a Skrull and somehow someone else knew Clint's secret and that was passed onto the Skrulls.
Also...I feel I must add:
"****ing Power Man!!!!!" :x

Does anyone know why they're charging 4 dollars for a regular sized issue?
Is Marvel trying to move towards a standard 3.99 cost per book?

Or, you know, the Skrulls have someone that's telepathic and just read Clint's mind.
That's the easy explanation though, isn't it.

I thought #1 was interesting as were the two Avengers issues that tied into it.
But #2 was Bendis returning to his usual, "I have no idea how to right team-fights" rubbish. Characters talk incessantly for no reason (I don't care he laboured over the dialogue - there's virtually no need for it - the action just gets stuttered); then the characters fight (somewhat stupidly) and AARGH! Out of nowhere comes something that messes everything up! A dinosaur! Rargh! Apparently, T-Rexes are a match for three incarnations of the Avengers - so powerful they disrupt everything. And then we get the Sentry problem - he's so powerful, Bendis has relegated him to, "Quick, the bad guys have to sideline him from the fight" - so that way the most powerful member of the team never does anything. Then they fight for a stupidly long time and then the series drops the "secret" part and just becomes "invasion".
Ugh. Everytime Bendis hooks me he manages to make me swear to never read his comics again. The recent Firestar thing in USM: Great first issue. Then it turns into a weird, "guest-starring the X-Men" **** and nothing happens for two issues until the most predictable, obvious, and lazy ending occurs.
Secret Invasion #1 and those two Avengers issues really, REALLY, made stop for a minute and go, "This... this is actually really entertaining. I'm interested." Then #2 has just made me go, "I can't be arsed with this ****. 27-pages of a poorly coreographed fight and an out of place cliffhanger. Whatever." :arrgh:
I WANT TO LIKE THESE COMICS. *sigh*

The X-Men don't even do anything in USM until the last issue. :?
But that's not talk for this thread. I'll be picking the issue up shortly today. Yay!
