Nick Fury’s Secret Warriors Are Ready To Kick Some Skrull-Butt!

Okay he's not exactly taking over the team but it seems he's taking over this issue.  I'm enjoying all the flashback stories we're getting.  Seeing what people (or Skrulls) were doing before the Invasion actually started but some of them seem out of place.  Why should Nick Fury's Caterpillars, or I guess I should say his "Secret Warriors," have their story told in Mighty Avengers?  I thought this series was about the actual Avengers.  I get that their story needs to be told somewhere but why not give them a Secret Invasion one-shot or mini like everyone else is getting.  Maybe to ensure more sales?  Like I said, I am enjoying tales like this but it is a little annoying.
 
At least they changed their name.

The blockbuster comic book event of year continues as fans, retailers and critics agree—Secret Invasion is a smash hit! Secret Invasion has everyone asking “Who do you trust?” as the fate of the Marvel Universe lies in the hands of the shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrulls.  Join Nick Fury and his Secret Warriors as they take the fight to the Skrulls in Mighty Avengers #18!  Months ago, an underground Nick Fury saw the oncoming threat and gathered a secret team of heroes to stop the invasion all together!  Join critically acclaimed writer Brian Michael Bendis and rising star artist Stefano Caselli (Avengers: The Initiative) as they rewind back to unveil the covert training of Nick Fury’s new Secret Warriors and they learn what it takes to make a hero!  Plus, a stunning new cover from amazing artist Marko Djurdjevic!

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Secret Invasion and all tie-in issues, as they continue to sell out quickly at Diamond!

With the Invasion at large, do Nick Fury’s Secret Warriors stand a chance?  Hopefully, being trained by the greatest secret agent in the world helps!  You don’t dare miss Mighty Avengers #18!
