spoilers

I nearly jumped up and cheered when I saw the Agents of Atlas fight back. They had the head of the Skrull General in a bottle, as they made plans to slink away into obscurity until the Agents made they move. This is awesome, and I hope this plays out nicely. Funny that there are 2 Marvel Boys in this issue. One from Neptune, and one from the Kree Empire.

So, what happened? 5 stories by 5 different creators:

The long awaited reason why Captain Marvel attacked the Thunderbolts mountain? I don't know. Marv gave himself up to the Skrulls and said he wanted to rejoin the Invasion. Then, next second, he is after the ThunderBolts. The only thing that links this is when Marv was watching the ThunderBolts on TV and saying they are an abomination.
Agent Brand floats in space, and recounts her first time on S.W.O.R.D. and dealing with Skrulls. Then she bumps into a Skrull batle ship and she looks like she can get into a vent. Pretty Meh
Wonderman now is trapped with Beast from the Shuttle, and they discuss their past friendship and mistrust because of their situation. Then they separate.Pretty Muh.
Noh-Varr in the cube has the Warden doped up on nanobots in Noh-Varr 's spittle, so Warden can report to Maria Hill. All the prisoners are getting a docile making wavelength from a program rescued from MB's ship computer until the Skrull virus breaks the wave transmission and it all goes to hell. A Skrull is the cause and MB destroys him while MB goes about forming his army. Interesting development.
The Agents of Atlas story is the most stunning. The Skrulls captured Namora and dehydrate her like Namor, but Gorilla Man and M-11 rescue her, take the Skrull General captive, and Marvel Boy, Bob Grayson, dissects him, and beheads him, in preparation for the counter attack of the humans. The General is commenting the whole time and eventually realizes these Agents are doing the self same thing the Skrulls were doing. I could just shout. But this is the only story not cross-referenced to another issue in Secret Invasion.
