The issue's real savior, though, is Jimmy Cheung, who can't seem to put a foot wrong. His widescreen style and ability to pack in characters makes him a perfect fit for a universe-spanning book like "New Avengers". The only shame is that he can't draw more issues, because under his artistic direction, even a weakly-plotted issue like this seems perfectly executed. Even so, of all the various "Secret Invasion" tie-ins that have turned up in "New" and "Mighty Avengers," this does appear to be the least essential of the bunch. Read Full Review

Those fans of Bendis' Avengers work who enjoyed House of M and are enjoying Secret Invasion will probably find much to enjoy here. It's certainly not all bad, with a couple of decent character moments for the Hank Pym and Spider-Woman Skrulls, and an effective closing sequence that also ties into the Annihilation event and reminds us that the Skrulls' religious fervour is driven by the great losses that they sustained during that very recent storyline.

Sorry for the tangent, but yes, the last couple of pages of this book, as miniscule as they are, gave this story more relevance. It just would have been nice to see more than a reaction from the Skrull Queen. If this sounds like a book you should skip, it probably is. Nothing shown here really adds to the Secret Invasion story – it just ties up loose ends. But if you want to see some gorgeous Jim Cheung artwork, you may want to add this book to your collection. The choice is yours. Read Full Review

It's unusual, it's intriguing, but I still don't have a lot of investment in these characters. Read Full Review

I like Cheung's art and all, but it's not worth picking this waste of paper up for. Buy something with some meat to the story instead. Read Full Review
