Marvel has a new crossover series going on that just started called: Secret Invasion, written by Bendis.

It stars the shape shifting Skrulls. I’ll get back to the Skrulls in a minute.

And to be honest:

I’m getting worn out tired by all these recent crossovers and think both Marvel and DC are milking their audience for all their money. This is just like, the 90’s. But only worse cause cover prices cost more.

We got DC Comics and their non-stop Crisis related material.

And at Marvel we had things like: Civil War, World War Hulk, Annihilation and other crossovers I’m forgetting to talk about.

It seems to me a move of: Shoving multi-book crossover projects, just for the fact that it’ll make a bunch of money.

And it’s one thing to get the main issues. It’s another to be milked with related series like Civil War: Frontline. A book that in my view was not needed, and only their to squeeze out every last penny the reader has.

Back to Secret Invasion.

I’m not all that thrilled cause to me: The Skrulls were never much an interesting concept that held my attention. So to base a whole series off them, well simply put, while it’s great for some. This series won’t be great for me. Just average, cause of the premise.

And I got a vibe that Bendis might’ve taken the idea from Battlestar Galactica.

Basically the Cylons look human, and on the ship it’s a guessing game of who do you trust, and the person you think you know can be a Cylon. Also the Cylons are out to destroy the humans, and at the very least take them over and rule.

Now look at Secret Invasion, and read the above lines. Sound familiar? Or is that just me.

The best part though might be to use Skrulls to erase the bad history of some characters and say those terrible stories from a certain era were by Skrulls, and now the original hero has returned and gets a clean slate.

My prediction is all the A list characters, will just about be human.

All the 70’s fad characters, with no long term appeal, and can’t hold onto their own book for more then a few years, can turn out to be Skrulls. Besides, much of their history is nothing much to speak of or all that relevant. Their history you can pick and choose, and is probably what is going to happen.
