Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Dave McCraig
Synopsis: The New Avengers have found a huge clue to the threat that has faced them since the day they banded together. And now just the knowledge of that threat is tearing them apart. What secret could be so damning that it could do to the New Avengers what the Civil War could not?
Opinion: Good lord, man! A giant conversation aboard Iron Fist’s airplane. One boring character would say, “You’re a freakin’ Skrull, dude!” Then another bland-ass character would explaim, “Maybe I am! Maybe you are too!” Om my God, it was just like that throughout 90% of the comic. It made for an excrutiatingly boring and painful read. The only bright spot was when the plane crashed. Unfortunately, nobody died. Crapola! Run from this book.

I agree with you on that issue. But I still think that issue was ok. And is Spider-Woman a skrull or have her eye’s always been green?

Thankfully I stopped reading all Avengers titles after they came out with all the different spinoffs.
Skrulls? lol these just keep getting worse and worse.

Spider-Woman has green eyes!? She must be the EVIL Spider-Woman from Earth-3! DUN DUN DUN! The real Spider-Woman must be tied up in a closet somewhere!
Anyways, yeah…Skrulls. Seems like Marvel’s plan now is to go ‘What’s that? You don’t like how we’ve screwed over this character? Well, no worries, Marvel Zombies, he’s a Skrull!’…or a Marvel Zombie…I can just see Admiral Akbar in the back of my head right now going ‘IT’S A SKRULL!’
