X-Factor and She-Hulk Take on the Skrulls in “He Loves You!”


So does anyone besides me think that pretty much all the characters seem to be acting a little weird?  She-Hulk did mention herself about how she's changing and liking it.  Are we going to see a return of the Savage She-Hulk soon?  I don't feel that's really necessary. 

And what's up with Longshot?  Yeah he's a Skrull but at Comic-Con, Peter David did say that Longshot was in X-Factor.  It didn't feel like he was referring to the Skrull.  Maybe we'll see why exactly this Skrull is posing (rather poorly) as him.  Also, why is Darwin white?  At the X-Men panel, someone (I forget who) joked that it was his way of evolving to survive.
 
Longshot has returned—but he’s a Skrull!  Join Jamie Madrox and the rest of X-Factor as they get caught up in the chaos of Secret Invasion in X-Factor #34!  After last issue’s Skrull revelation, Darwin, the Evolving Boy, X-Factor and She-Hulk must battle their greatest threat yet! With fan favorite and Award-winning writer, Peter David (She-Hulk, Dark Tower: The Long Road Home), She-Hulk and Jazinda, daughter of the infamous Super Skrull, are going to lend a helping hand! Legendary X-artist Larry Stroman delivers stunning interiors as X-Factor and She-Hulk learn to put their differences aside and combine their forces!  The sold-out “He Loves You” storyline concludes right here, but don’t miss out on your chance to discover where it all began in X-Factor #33 Second Printing Variant and She-Hulk #31 Second Printing Variant.

Michael Colber of ComicsBulletin.com had this to say about X-Factor, “There is more than enough reason to hang around because Peter & Co. consistently deliver a book that is engaging, entertaining and masterfully crafted.”

Bryan Joel of IGN.com raves, “If you haven't tried what's arguably the best X-book on the stands, you probably aren't going to get a better opportunity than this.”

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on X-Factor, She-Hulk and all Secret Invasion tie-ins as they continue to sell out quickly at Diamond and fans continue to ask, “Who Do You Trust?”

Will X-Factor and She-Hulk be able to work together without any altercations?  And what does a certain Skrull have planned for the team?  Find out the answers to these questions and more in this Secret Invasion tie-in…X-Factor #34!

Excitement Is Building Around All Secret Invasion Tie-Ins!


Are people still excited over this?  Let me first say that I am still enjoying the series.  I do have to say that it has so far fallen a little short of our, or at least my, expectations.  Yes we've had some reveals so far.  Nothing extremely major besides Spider-Woman and Hank Pym.  I guess those were pretty big ones.  We did have the Skrull ship full of "heroes" but so far they're being shows as simply Skrulls under their alien hypnosis.  I'm still rooting for Mockingbird to be the real Mockingbird.  Bendis did tell us some heroes would be returning from the dead.  We are half way through the series right now.  Maybe the biggest stuff is yet to come.

Here's some upcoming tie-ins to look forward to.
 
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?” and the fate of the Marvel Universe may be in the hands of the intergalactic threat known as the Skrulls. In order to fully understand the Skrulls’ plan and how our heroes are working to stop them at all costs, these tie-ins give you the full scope on just how serious and dangerous the Skrulls really are!  


 
Avengers: The Initiative #16
Avengers: The Initiative #16 introduces us to a whole new kind of threat and this one isn’t for humans! That’s right true believers, there is only one band of heroes we can trust and in this issue we get the all star return of every Skrull’s worst nightmare, the SKRULL KILL KREW. Could this be what Earth needs to push back the Skrull Invasion.

Skrull Kill Krew?  It's about time they showed up.  Where have they been since their comic was canceled waaaaay back?




Black Panther #40
Also in Black Panther #40 the scope of the invasion is realized. Can the Skrulls make their way into the impenetrable Wakanda? T’Challa’s home nation has a reputation for holding back invaders, but Earth has never seen this kind of threat before. This very well could be the death blow for Wakanda. Will their forces be able to defeat the all new breed of Super-Skrull?

Ms. Marvel #30
Carol Danvers has had a pretty tough time during the Secret Invasion and in Ms. Marvel #30 her outlook isn’t getting much better. Just when things couldn’t possibly get any worse, Ms. Marvel finds herself on Riker’s Island with a threat that’s BIGGER then the invasion itself! This does not bode well for anyone in the Marvel U. It’s time to welcome our new Skrull overlords.

Half time is over and so far the Skrulls have outmatched our heroes. With the Invasion at large, is there any hope left for Earth? Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Secret Invasion and all tie-ins, as they continue to sell out quickly at Diamond. The Skrulls are here…who do you trust?

My other question is, what do you think of the tie-in/crossover issues?  I'm liking the Fantastic Four/Secret Invasion mini-series.  New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, and Avengers: Initiative seem essential.  It's almost as if more is happening in those issues than in the actual Secret Invasion comic.

Secrets Revealed?

What do you think?


I knew there would be a lot of people wanting to sit in on this panel.  I figured I'd better go the panel before this in order to get a decent spot in the room.  It was for the tv show Pushing Daisies (again, why is this at Comic-Con?).  When I got there, there was already a big line.  Not willing to give up easily, I got in line.  Then we were told that Pushing Daisies was full.  So what did that mean?  Were there that many people there to see that or was the room pretty much full of others wanting to hear about Skrulls?  I stayed in line to find out.  When it came time for me to enter, I was surprised that it wasn't as full as I thought.   Maybe there were a lot of Pushing Daisies fans.  I've never watched it.  During my wait in line, I did get to thinking.  There's no way any major juicy information would be given out.  But I felt it was my duty to attend.

On the panel was Joe Quesada (moderating), Greg Pak, Christos Gage, Chris Yost, Daniel Way, Fred Van Lente, C.C. Celbulski, Joe Pokaski, Brian Reed, Nick Lowe, Jim McCann and Peter David.  Notice any names that seem to be missing?  Yup, Brian Bendis wasn't there.  Why?  In a moment.

This was shown, but in color
Issue #5 comes out August 13.  I got to see a few pages (no dialogue).  Agent Brand standing over the big mess of Mr. Fantastic's body.

Some announcements were made.  The new creative team for Thunderbolts (starting with issue #126) will be Andy Diggle and Roberto De La Torre.  When Secret Invasion is over, we'll get War Of Kings.  It won't be a huge event like Secret Invasion.  The images show that Vulcan, the Inhumans, Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, and the Starjammers will be involved.  It's set to be a winter/spring event.  No other info. was given.

As with most panels, it was mainly a Q & A session.

The ongoing Spider-Woman comic is still coming out after Secret Invasion.  The question is who will be in the costume...?

There was some argument with Joe Quesada over Spider-Man, Brand New Day and the break up of Peter and MJ.  This wasn't the right time and place in my opinion.  Joe didn't brush it off.  He wanted to know what was liked and not liked.  There were a few in the room that do like the stories happening now.  Joe mentioned that Spider-Man is about having problems.  When he was in the Avengers Tower, he got hate-mail saying that wasn't who the character was.  Yes being married to a former super-model is pretty damn lucky but wiping out all that seems a bit drastic to me.  Joe may have agreed that he can see how the execution may be seen as a negative move.  He's more concerned with where Spidey is at now.  He promises that all the questions about what has happened or hasn't happened, how much time passed from Mephisto's move, etc will be answered in the next 12-14 months.  They really want to establish the new characters and villains and stories rather than just throw everything at us.  We will see some resolution between Norman and Harry Osborn and their current states.  How is Harry alive?  How does this affect Norman? Etc.

Back to the Invasion.  Bendis had all of this in motion for quite some time.   Joe claims that Bendis started all this without telling him.  He said that's the best way to get away with it, don't tell the editor.  As far as who could and couldn't be a Skrull, Bendis sat firm that he wanted Spider-Woman.

A question was raised about the Infinity Gems.   Brian Reed has been wanting to do something with them but the time hasn't been right. 

We will see more of the Young Avengers around.  It didn't sound like in their own book.

A fan came up and said Bendis was a chump for not being there.  Jim McCann wiped out his phone to text him that.  A few minutes later, Quesada's phone rings.  It's Bendis.  The guy was called up to the stage and asks him where he is.  He claimed with Alan Moore.  Joe's phone was put on speaker phone and held up to the mic.  Bendis apologized for not being there.  He thanked us for our support.  Questions to Bendis were taken.  Someone asked if he had this planned as far back as Alias.  Bendis quickly said no.  He did promise us a "killer/super ending."

Will Deadpool and Cable meet back up?  Daniel Way (writer for Deadpool) said he couldn't answer that right now.   They both have their current missions.  When asked to elaborate on Deadpool's Secret Invasion activities, Way looked at Joe and panel, paused, and said, "...He's doing...something for...someone."  He'll soon be getting the attention of everyone and will be "running ramant throughout the Marvel Universe."

It was hinted that we will see more about the Hank Pym Skrull.  Seems very doubtful that he'd be dead.  It was mentioned how he is a character with a lot going on.  A flawed hero and all.

Peter David was asked if we'll find out about Layla Miller's past sometime soon.  David said he is in no rush to tell her story.  He mentioned how Wolverine went on for years with nothing being known.  Will she be back with X-Factor?  "Yes."

Will the Scarlet Witch re-surface?  "Yes, but not here."

Will the Punisher get involved with Secret Invasion?  In October.

Could a depowered mutant be a Skrull in hiding?  This got a lot of oohs.  It was said to be possible but not likely.

Will we (and our wallets) get a break after Secret Invasion or will there be another huge "event"?  There will be a little break before the next one.  They have stories they want to tell first.

Thor Enters the Secret Invasion As The Skrulls Attack Asgard!



 

The Skrulls are here and the God of Thunder himself is ready for battle, so True Believers better brace themselves for Secret Invasion: Thor #1!  Matt Fraction, the acclaimed scribe behind Thor: Reign of Blood and Ages of Thunder returns to Thor for this Secret Invasion tie-in and this time he’s teaming up with fan favorite, and newly Marvel exclusive, artist Doug Braithwaite!

The Skrulls are invading Asgard and it’s up to Thor to fight off their armies, but to make things wors,e the citizens of the small innocent town of Broxton, Oklahoma may end up as collateral damage!  Now that there are two cities to defend Thor is going to need a lot of help and Beta Ray Bill is just the man for the job.  He’s back and ready to help Thor teach the Skrulls what it means to mess with a God!

“Once again, Matt Fraction puts on a clinic entitled ‘How to Freaking Write Thor Comics’ and anyone utilizing the character should pay attention.” – ComicsBulletin.Com

“It's abundantly clear that Fraction spent more than a few nights researching what makes these myths tick, as he perfectly encapsulates the strident atmosphere in which ancient cultures used to control the masses through fear.” – IGN.Com

Marvel urges all retailers to check their orders on Secret Invasion: Thor #1 and all of the other Secret Invasion tie-ins as they continue to sell out at Diamond!

Secret Invasion: X-Men #1
It's about time they were brought into the invasion.  This is a huge on-going thing and you know the Skrulls would want to deal with the X-Men in some way.  You'd also think the X-Men might be kind of pissed that some of the super-skrulls have been going around copying their powers and appearance.   The art is a little weird.  Nightcrawler doesn't look quite right.  I do like the way the colors look.


Calling All X-Men-- Secret Invasion is Underway!



 
The X-Men get caught up in the comic book blockbuster of the summer!  Get ready for an epic action packed, super powered rush in Secret Invasion: X-Men #1 (of 4)!  The Skrull invasion is in full effect and the country is being torn apart, but the Skrulls missed one minute detail – the X-Men have relocated to San Francisco.  Join fan favorite superstar writer, Mike Carey (X-Men: Legacy, upcoming X-Men: Manifest Destiny), as he shows us what happens when the Skrulls collide with the “astonishing” might of the X-Men.  With jaw-dropping interiors from acclaimed artist, Cary Nord (Ultimate Human), just about anyone who ever called themselves an X-Man will show up to wage war!  Plus, a shocking revelation will leave X-fans talking for years to come!

Mike Carey told Marvel.com, "[Cary is] a major talent and I can't wait to see what he does with this story…It really plays to his strengths. I know he's going to take the big battle set pieces and make them play like poetry. It's going to be fun."

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Secret Invasion and all its tie-ins as they continue to top the sales charts and sell out at Diamond.  Do not miss this explosive first issue as fans continue to ask “Who Do You Trust?”

What do the Skrulls have in store for the Children of the Atom?  What is Cyclops willing to do to ensure the future of the mutant race and lead his team to victory?  Find out the answers to these questions and more, True Believers, in Secret Invasion: X-Men #1 (of 4)!

The event of the summer continues.  Is it meeting your expectations?  I'm still recovering from last week's massive hit of Secret Invasion tie-ins. 


Secret Invasion Continues To Infiltrate & Sell Out Quickly!



 
The top-selling event of the year continues to steamroll over the competition as Marvel is proud to announce more Secret Invasion tie-in sell outs! Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #2, Ms Marvel #28, Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers #1, Mighty Avengers #15 and Avengers: The Initiative #14 have all sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). Marvel currently has no plans to go back to press on these issues which reveal secrets behind the Skrull invasion! How were Hank Pym and Spider-Woman replaced? What can the Human Torch and the Thing do to save the FF? What secret does 3-D Man hold? What do the Skrulls want with Hulking and Xavin? All these answers and more have been revealed—but do you know the truth and who you can trust?

With quick sell outs of virtually all Secret Invasion tie-ins, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on future issues of Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four, Ms Marvel, Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers, Mighty Avengers and Avengers: The Initiative! There’s no comic event this year like Secret Invasion and as the story continues, the Marvel Universe finds itself altered irrevocably!

Secret Invasion’s Incredible Hercules #118 Gets A New Printing!



 
Marvel is pleased to announce that due to overwhelming demand for Incredible Hercules #118, which led to a quick sellout at Diamond, the issue will return with Incredible Hercules #118 Second Printing Variant! The critically-acclaimed series from the red-hot writing duo of Greg Pak & Fred Van Lente, along with rising star artist Rafa Sandoval, present the newly formed God Squad on a mission to defeat the Skrull gods in this Secret Invasion tie-in. But what does Nightmare have to do with all this? And who isn't what they seem? Incredible Hercules #118 Second Printing Variant features Sandoval's stunning interior art on a new cover.

"I couldn't be happier with both the art and the story," said Paul Brian McCoy of ComicsBulletin.Com. "They work hand in hand to create one of the best current Marvel runs I can remember. It's consistent, too. This is a title that everyone should be reading."

Kyle Posluszny of WeeklyComicBookReview.Com gushed, "Incredible Hercules scores again with another good issue. The story is fun, the writing is excellent, and the artwork is almost always a treat to look at. As I said before, if you aren't reading this series, you should be."

"It seems like this title can do no wrong," said Bryan Joel of IGN.Com, who deems Incredible Hercules a "must-read."

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Incredible Hercules, as the series – and all Secret Invasion tie-ins – continue to sell out quickly! With a traitor in their midst, will the God Squad survive this mission intact? Keep reading Incredible Hercules to find out!

Please note that copies of Incredible Hercules #118 may still be available at the retail level.

X-Factor #33 "He Loves You" Part 1


How great is this going to be? Peter David is uniting his two titles.   I just love his stuff.  He always writes interesting stories and throws in the humor left and right without (usually) forcing the story to get too silly.   I am looking forward to this.  Especially to find out what's up with She-Hulk's Skrull friend, Jazinda.  There definitely is a story behind her.  How does Longshot fit into everything?

Oh and check out Larry Stroman is back on X-Factor.  Feels like he and Peter David did X-Factor so long ago.


Secret Invasion Pits She-Hulk Against X-Factor in “He Loves You”




The status-quo shattering “He Loves You” begins in July as Secret Invasion puts X-Factor on a collision course with She-Hulk! Beginning in July’s She-Hulk #31 and X-Factor #33, writer Peter David brings both his acclaimed series together for a story that delves into the Skrull religion, evolution and features the return of some beloved X-characters! Just how has the Skrull infiltration gone deeper—and more successfully—than anyone imagined?

In X-Factor #33, featuring the return of legendary X-artist Larry Stroman to the team he helped make famous, Darwin and Longshot make their long-awaited returns! As X-Factor moves into their new digs, they’ll find themselves embroiled in conflict with She-Hulk—and like her cousin, she won’t go down without a SMASH!

Then, in She-Hulk #31, She Hulk’s Skrull partner Jazinda comes under scrutiny for her possible role in the invasion ravaging Earth! What did she know about the Skrulls’ plans? And might she have aided her fellow people in replacing some of the world’s heroes?

Retailers, make sure to check upcoming Marvel Mailers for special “He Loves You” ordering incentives.
 
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on upcoming issues of She-Hulk and X-Factor, as all Secret Invasion tie-ins continue to sell out quickly at Diamond and remain in high demand!
