I'm pretty sure he's gotten a little more indepth in other places, but here's a quote from Bendis at a Baltimore Comic-Con Q&A
Q: Why isn't Dr. Strange involved in Secret Invasion?
Bendis: He has failed as a Sorcerer Supreme, so the question is -- if Dr. Strange isn't the Sorcerer Supreme, who is? That will all be answered in New Avengers post-Secret Invasion.
Got the new issue of NA yesterday. It's pretty good.
Long story short: Madame Masque is captured by SHIELD agents (skrulls). This is directly after the New Avengers finished beating up The Hood's super-villain group. The Hood rolls up and kills several of the Skrulls, discovering in the process that they're Skrulls who were planning to replace Madame Masque to infiltrate the Hood's crew. He calls a meeting with the rest of his crew, all of whom we discover he has broken out of jail (he seriously is like Cloak with guns). At the meeting, they have a captured SHIELD Skrull, who they torture until he admits the Skrull plan. The Hood then does some hoodoo to determine if there are any Skrulls, then promptly kills the one Skrull in the group. They burn the warehouse and bodies, then the Hood tells them that he's going to decide what to do. Later, the Hood is at his apartment, and he threatens to get rid of the Hood if the demon inside it doesn't answer his questions. The demon appears, and it's Dormammu.
Also, is Madame Masque hideously scarred, or just a little scarred? I mean, I know Tony was in love with her for a while, so I figure she's not quite Deadpool ugly.

DIRTY EVIL SPOILERS
Whoa, that was dangerous. I reflex-clicked and hurt my neck after I forcibly ripped my eyes from the screen. And then a second time when I quoted that post.
Oh snap, I didn't even realize issue 7 was out today. I just casually wandered over to the comics shipped today list and BAM. There it was. Delicious, delicious issue 7.
I'm pumped on New Avengers being out today, as well. And X-Men legacy for good measure.
I thought SI X-Men 3 was out this week, but it turns out to be next week. Curses.
The issue was great. Veranke dead? That was fast. Expected her to die in an epic 1v1 or something. Janet's a bomb, we all saw that coming. Noh Varr is going to be a hero, and Luke and Jessica's baby is in the hands of Skrull Jarvis. That "BOOM!" right after he took the baby, was it Noh Varr? I got confused there.

I haven't read it yet, but does it explain how he isn't dead?
Nope. It just shows Jessica watching TV, and she's all "I have to go help my husband, take care of my baby Jarvis. I may not come back tears blah blah. This Jarvis even had brown eyes.

Welp, I still feel the same way about Secret Invasion
It's got good parts and bad parts
although I felt this issue especially was catering to "fanboys"
Clint picking up the bow+arrow and murdering Veranke by shooting her in the fucking face
I will be cross with you
ehhh
we already had that moment earlier and Veranke is killed by one arrow to the jaw after going toe to toe with like half the marvel U in that fight? oh plus I think stark should've killed her
I've been a little put off by how easily these Skrulls die, well, the less Super-Skrully ones at least...Regular bullets, knives, etc., are all it takes? Seems like it should be harder to kill a shape-shifter.

Just because they have the power sets of the heroes doesn't necessarily make them invincible.
Good example of this is the mutants X-men. A good chunk of that group could get taken out easily by a bullet.
Anyways, can't wait till Issue #8 where we see Tony confronting Skrull Jarvis w/ baby.
Hopefully we also see a ship or something land that has all the heroes that were replaced.

I would've preferred it if, say, Clint instead disarmed a Hawkeye Skrull and then used his bow.
I do think the impact of the scene was lessened by the fact that a really scene occurred in an earlier issue. But remember, Kate's bow is actually his bow, as seen in the YA: Hawkeye issue. If you're aware of that, I think the scene seems more special.
It's like King Arthur picking up Excalibur. Or Captain America being reunited with his shield.

I don't think the arrow went through the jaw, it looks to me like it hit her at tha base of the brain stem in the back of the neck and came out her cheek right near her mouth, she is twisting her neck which makes it harder to see. Which would explain why she died.

Not to mention, he's taken her somewhat under his wing in terms of training so it's not really contrived that he would be fighting near her.

Exactly.
More like Spider-Man being reunited with his web-shooter. The bow is only special because he gave it to Kate to signal his approval of her carrying his name. It means more to her than it does to him, and as far as he is concerned he could be using any bow.
Not that SI even hinted at their relationship. Fuck, Kate is lit on fire immediately after she shows up. The only reason she's even there is so Bendis can put a bow in Hawkeye's hands.

And yeah, gonna have to get that new NA.
"And this is his sofa, is it?" said Arthur.

There was a rather excellent What If? wherein he became Sorcerer Supreme.

They're all shapeshifters, though.

All fiction is based on contrivance.
That said, I loved this issue.
Yeah, but usually it's a little more well-thought out than someone with a bow happening to get seriously injured right next to Clint Barton.
