The New Avengers #40

Don’t be fooled by the cover, it’s a little misleading. There are no actual avengers in this book. It continues to give us the history on the invasion from the Skrull’s side and how they got to the point they’re at now. The first part is a little slow as it gets through the history stuff but it continues to build momentum and ends really strong. We get to see the Elektra imposter and hear of not only how they began the invasion but also how they developed the technology to do it. It spans all the way back to the Kree Skrull war and through marvel history. The clues given as to who the other imposters might be gets the blood flowing and the choice the queen makes in the end not only confirms some suspicions of mine from about a month ago (boy it’s good to be right) but also makes a pretty big impact especially when weighed against the nick fury story we saw last week in Mighty Avengers. Go pick this one up and get in on the invasion.
