    Pete Wisdom's line from CB &MI13 is pure win.

    I agree.

    Look, Skrulls are ridiculously incompetent, but also ridiculously lucky.

    Man, if Colbert exists in the Marvel universe, how do we explain that he has Captain America's shield


    unless the shield is a skrull also
    He is actually running for President in the Marvel Universe

    It doesn't get much better than that.

    Oh, I just thought I'd add something. Someone mentioned the strong women characters, especially their acting in issue 5, and I thought I'd chime in. Basically what we have here is your standard action movie with the rogue loner who Knows The Truth but can't get the stiffs to listen, or they are the enemy. But in this case Chuck Norris in Invasion U.S.A. isn't just one commando/super-spy, but three or four. And like I mentioned in an earlier bitchfest about Ms. Marvel, every major spy in Marvel is a woman. In this case it's Nick Fury, Black Widow, Agent Brand kicking ass. It's a built-in sysytem to showcase the ladies.


    EDIT: And Maria Hill. I couldn't remember her effing name when I was typing this in a hurry.

    Did Robos and Crimson work together to set that up? Cuz it'd be awesome if they did.


    EDIT
    Alternatively, Fencing, Robos, and Crimson teamed up for a threesome, with well-done scripting to act like it wasn't all a big setup.

    They've been planting those seeds for a long time, infact if you go back to New Robos Post #1 you can see where he left the hints at.

    Anyone have any ideas on how the Void thing will play out? Or the mystery item Skrull-pym gave the Wasp? I wonder if they will even be featured in the main series. We still got several other sub-plots to resolve(Ms. Marvel, Noh-varr, Skrull-Mar-vell).

    Edit: I guess those last things I mentioned are more major plot points than minor sub-plots.

    none of the major parts of Secret Invasion are being played out in the actual Mini

    that'd just be silly

    I want them to keep the current Captain Marvel who isn't Captain Marvel but is Captain Marvel. Emo Captain Marvel Junior can go do something else.

    Actually Sars, what I think will happen is
    Marvel Boy will somehow kill Captain Marvel and take his title. HOWEVER, he will remain exactly the same and continually try to fuck with the establishment.

    I've read Marvel Boy, I just don't cup Morrison's balls, stroke his shaft, open wide, and drink his man gravy. I thought it was about the same as SKULL KILL KREW.

    Seriously? One is about killing Skrulls, and the other featured the fucking sentient corporation.

    I never noticed.

    About Brand...
    I went back and re-read, and Brand saying "Woof" after her little killing spree was pretty epic, making me think back to the stuff she said about her father, and her Beast fetish. Heh.

    Thor looks goofy on the SI #8 cover.

    Like the article mentions, does anyone think it's significant that
    Tony's not in the cover, like #5?
