Secret Invasion TPB – Marvel
Last week I finally picked up the TPB of Marvel’s Secret Invasion which collates all eight issues of the series. The story is written by super scribe Brian Michael Bendis (of Ultimate Spider-man fame) and pencilled by the amazing Leinil Yu.
I’ve been keeping my head under the proverbial rock to make sure the story wasn’t spoiled for me. I didn’t want to accidentally find out who was and who wasn’t a Skrull. The build up was fantastic as the invading Skrulls enacted their “master plan” to conquer Earth, however, the final ending was a let down with the “clean up” happening too quickly and a lot of loose plot ends too conveniently tied up. The art is fantastic with Leinil Yu at ease with drawing multiple characters at various angles on the same page!
In summary, amazing art and a fantastic start but the ending was a little bit of a let down. Still worth checking it out.
