Looks like we got ourselves a witch hunt, boys. SECRET INVASION, the next big event from Marvel is going to show us the Skrulls are among us, but will we get the answers to the queries that we’ve has since a dead Elektra phony hit the floor? Who’s a Skrull? How long have they been here? What is their objective? Who can I trust? Let’s take a look at the suspects, shall we?
- LUKE CAGE: Didn’t this guy only fight for money and speak jive talk to everyone he met? Now look at him. First stringer. Team leader. Father. Husband. Since when is Luke Cage the moral authority of the Marvel Universe? Something ain’t right. Evidence shows him being the most anti-Skrull of them all, and lets not forget that Brian Michael Bendis makes no secret that he LOVES Luke Cage, so we’ll see.
- CLINT BARTON: Whatever the hell he wants to call himself these days, ‘ol Clint has a lot of explaining to do. After having one of the coolest and most heroic deaths in Marvel history, he magically came back to life. Even by comic standards it didn’t make a whole lot of sense as to why he reappeared. Bendis actually said himself that anyone with a sketchy resurrection is a prime suspect, so I think that Clint’s colors have gone from purple to green.
- SPIDER-MAN: “One More Day” threw a lot of things our of whack, but things were looking pretty unfamiliar for Spidey even before that. Spider-Man registering was probably the most out of character to happen in quite a while, so a perfect solution for all this CIVIL WAR and BRAND NEW DAY backlash is “Just kidding! He’s a Skrull!” Hey, at least its better than “Clone Saga.” Yuck.
- IRON MAN: The #1 a-hole these days is Tony Stark. Pretty powerful these days, isn’t he? Being director of SHIELD is a hell of a why to move around the world’s chess pieces, so setting up a Skrull in the power armor is a logical tactic. The guy is seemingly everywhere these days, so that could be a clue. But he also has a movie coming out, so maybe not.
- WOLVERINE: The guy is in 20 books a month. Think about that for a second.
- CAPTAIN AMERICA: I’ve heard some whoppers in my time, but I will literally light my books on fire is a Skrull imposter is used to explain a Steve Rogers resurrection. However, it does makes sense. The Skrulls take out the heart of the Marvel U by killing Cap, crush moral and dividing the hero community. A smart move, but why all the hoopla? I don’t think that 30+ of the best comic in years would be rendered pointless over this Skrull thing. Or maybe Bucky is the Skrull. Who know, my head hurts just thinking about it.
