Secret Invasion Begins!

It's finally here: Marvel's much-hyped Secret Invasion has officially begun. And they promise that the Marvel Universe will be forever changed... of course, that's what they promise with the release of every mini-series crossover event, but that's the bidness, kids. Anyway, here's the first of what is sure to be a slew of PRs on this mega-event:

It's the event years in the making and the story that everyone can't stop talking about—Secret Invasion is here! The shape-shifting Skrulls have infiltrated Earth, replacing those we most trust and count on for our protection—but just what is their endgame? From the superstar creative team of Eisner-winner Brian Bendis (New Avengers, Mighty Avengers) and acclaimed artist Leinil Francis Yu (New Avengers) comes the double-sized Secret Invasion #1 (of 8), beginning the blockbuster action-pack thrill ride that changes the Marvel Universe so dramatically that we can't show you any of the interior art! Yup, every page is filled with the shocking changes and revelations you've been waiting for! Wrapped up in a stunning cover by Gabrielle Dell'Otto, along with variants by Civil War artist Steve McNiven and Yu himself, this is the comic you can't afford to miss!

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Secret Invasion #1, kicking off the comic book event that has everyone buzzing and irrevocably changes the Marvel universe with each issue! Featuring all the major heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe, this is the story that'll leave your jaws on the floor!

Who is a Skrull? Who's been replaced? And most importantly… WHO DO YOU TRUST?

Plus, don't miss Secret Invasion Saga, in stores now, tracing the origins of the Skrull infiltration from the Elektra replacement to the Skrulls' very first visit to Earth. And did we mention it's free?
