Hello everybody and thanks for checking out my first article here at Destroythecyb.org! Back in July 2007, New Avengers #31 revealed that the Hand had been infiltrated by the alien race know as the Skrulls and Danny Rand asked the question, “What does this all mean?”

One year later, it all comes together in Brian Michael Bendis‘ new series, Secret Invasion. While it’s only been a few months, this truly epic saga is so vast that, before I review the latest issue, I’m going to bring everyone up to speed on the whole series.

After the break, my synopsis of the Secret Invasion plot so far. Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS.

Ultimates 3 #5 Cover

I wrote a rant/review of Ultimates a few months back, in which I stated that I believed that people were not giving Jeph Loeb enough credit. I said then that people were knocking on him because he is not Mark Millar, who wrote the Ultimates so beautifully. I actually liked the first 4 issues of Ultimates 3. And somewhere in the months and months and months of delays between 4 and 5, this series went to shit.

In the last issue (don’t ask me how I remember this. I had to back track about 3 issues to remember what the fuck was going on), Magneto took the body of his daughter, the Scarlet Witch, back to the Savage Land with him. Half the Ultimates went to go retrieve the body while the rest stayed in NYC to figure out who shot her. In the process of doing so, they found out Hank Pym is creating robot replicas of all the Ultimates.

After the break, I say “WTF Jeph Loeb!?!?!?” a whole lot.

In case you have been living under an anti-comic book rock for the last year, Secret Invasion is happening and we’re right smack dab in the middle of it. Lucky for us, Secret Invasion #4 came out today and after reading it I immediately had to blog about it, because plan and simple, it was awesome. With that said, things are rolling along quite nicely, and yet, just as many questions are constantly being raised as they are being answered. You can thank Brian Michael Bendis‘ amazing writing for that. There is a lot to talk about in this issue, so stick around after the jump for my synopsis, review and speculation. And plenty of ever-so-delicious spoilers, too.
