Secret Invasion discussion [Spoilers]

[E]

I did like Natasha kicking *** though. At least she knows what she's doing. But does adrenaline injected into the neck do anything? I thought it had to be injected directly into the heart?

Yeah I did too.

I didn't think the issue was too bad but it seems like it could have been cut from the series and not much would be missed.

Tony Stark is such a little ****. He's totally worthless. They took him out with barely an effort and here he is, 4 issues in, still sniveling and whimpering. Come on! This is Tony Stark. I get that he is a big gun and therefore was targetted but he shouldn't be this worthless; he should be fighting. Did Bendis not read Extremis?

 

[Ultimate Houde]

I agree with Gemini. This is boring and the people who did not read the Mighty Avengers arc will have no idea who these Secret Warriors are.

Thor and The Hood showing up should be interesting though.

Adrenaline just needs to be injected somewhere in an artery or vein. Injecting closer to the heart means it acts quicker that's all.

Yeah I did too.

The Skrulls took out Extremis, that's what knocked him for a loop. He's lost connection to all that equipment and machinery he had before. It hurt his mind.

That's how I took it anyways.

[thee great one]

I am enjoying this more than Civil War, but this was issue was pretty meh.

I am excited with the Thor and Captain America tease.



I didn't see The Hood getting involved. A nice little twist.

 

[Gemini]

I enjoyed Civil War far more than SI so far, the main mini just hasn't lived up to it's hype so far, the two events seem to be two sides of the same coin, Civil War's main mini was far better than SI's, but SI's tie-ins have been far better than Civil War's tie-ins

I enjoyed the Civil War tie-ins more such as Front Line.

cover to #8

it's a nice cover don't get me wrong, but don't you think it's just a little too similar to #6's cover?

cover to #8

No, Iron Man isn't there.

 

[Gemini]

No, Iron Man isn't there.

that was my point, thats the only real difference.

anywho SI 5 was an improvement on the past, Oh Reed what Dues Ex Machina can't you find.

Captain Britain and MI13 rocked again, poor John :'(

SI Inhuman's was interesting, and Pokaski gives me hope for the UU he doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as Loeb or Coleite

SI Young Avengers/Runaways was neat, but a little bit of an amatuerish effort, Yost must only do well writing characters with the x-gene, and the artist doesn't seem to be a good fit, but the plot is interesting, I like the dynamic between Xavin and Teddy, and I loved Victor's reaction to the Vision getting capped.

SI Thor, as with anything Fraction touches was fantastic, Braithwaite's art while great could have used an Inker or something to clean it up a bit, BRB kicks ***

SI X-Men was cool, great art (loved this colorist's style combined with Nord's drawings), but you can really tell that it will be a very inconsequential mini much like CW X-Men and WWH X-Men

a great week for Secret Invasion

EDIT:

also just noticed but SI X-Men is a double tie-in, both Manifest Destiny and Secret Invasion, I'm not sure if i've come across that before

 

[Shihad]

Maria Hill character had probably her best moment in secret invasion 5.

I felt so much happened i thought it was double sized.

A little disappointing no cap or thor, but guess you will hold out for the next issue

[Zombipanda]

Ah, Bendis, you only make your stories seem sillier when you try to explain them.

So hyper-defensive.

 

[J. Agamemnon]

What a horrible explanation for everything. SO just because it's hinted that reed may know a solution and then comes up with the solution the first chance he gets even though there's no explanation of how he came up with said solution, it's not deus ex machina? And I love his explanation that reed was in the first issue so it's not deus ex. That's clone saga rhetoric.

 

[E]

I will never get tired of Bendis's poor grasp of the Deus Ex Machina. I could seriously read that stuff all day. Dude has no clue.

It was weak sauce.

 

[J. Agamemnon]

It was weak sauce.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

These are usually pointless, but this one is hilarious!

Secret Invasion #4: 175,410 copies sold.

These are usually pointless, but this one is hilarious!

From Newsarama.

From the article:

They watch as the Skrulls, impersonating everybody from Osama to Obama, from Oprah to the Pope-ah,.promise the world that their problems are over . . . if they submit to the Damn Dirty Skrulls.

Wait, the Pope is a Skrull?


Well, that explains a lot....

 

[Captain Canuck]

i don't know, this series isn't really doing anything for me.

but I wonder if the cover to issue # 8 means that the avengers trinity becomes new Cap, Thor and Wolverine. That would be kinda cool.

 

[Gemini]

I liked this issue, though the last couple of pages kindof gave me a headache

I hope this Captain Marvel (Noh-Varr) stuff works out, I'd hate to see such an interesting character ruined, I'm totally calling him showing up being the big cliffhanger for #7

maybe he'll join the Young Avengers or something, actually I'd really like to see an ongoing written by Wells (he's got a good handle on the character, better than Bendis thats for sure) with art by someone like DiVito or something
