Secret Invasion Aftermath

December 9, 2008 by

So I wasn’t 100% on the money with my post-Secret Invasion predictions but I was pretty damn close.


I said I thought that Hank and Jan would die at the end of Secret Invasion; only got half of that right.
Norman Osborn did end up as the Director of SHIELD, only now it’s called HAMMER. I look forward to ANVIL. Or perhaps NAIL.

And those Dark Avengers? Looking more and more like the remnants of the current Thunderbolts, with a few changes (substitute Bullseye for Batroc, Moonstone for Emma Frost and you’re there) especially as the current cast seems to be changing wholesale.


The Mighty Avengers cast looks like it’s on the money too, although apparently Khoi Pham’s original cover wasn’t dynamic enough.

Elsewhere, none of the original returning Skrulls turned out to be real, although Mockingbird later came back for real. Honest.

And there were no other very interesting Skrull reveals past Spider-Woman which I contend still makes no sense

Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable but ultimately unfulfilling and disposable ride. Lenil Yu, Mark Morales and Laura Martin turned in great work on the art, but the story itself was pretty much predictable and overlong

I was also wondering if there were plans to actually wrap stories up any time soon. I mean, it would be nice to have a self-contained mini-series that didn’t end up just leading off into other stories. If you ask a question, answer it in the damn series not in the following books.

What happened to Noh-Varr?

What happened to Sentry?*

What happened to Luke and Jessica’s baby?

Read on to find out!

Sigh.

*Answer: nobody cares.

    Resolving things…in one series!?

    Silly reader, that’s 80s talk.

    Anyone who knows me, knows that when Jessica came back i was elated. I have wanted to see that panel since… well since she was revealed to be a skrull. i was sad that Veranke wasnt kept around, and questioned etc. to find out more about her, because i liked her a lot. Hopefully ‘Agent of SWORD’ will answer some of the Jessica questions. ‘why is she in the costume if she doesnt have her powers?’ etc

    I was disappointed Dum Dum Dugan was still alive.
