Shill: Secret Invasion Animated Webisode

So, yeah, Secret Invasion. The Skrullocaust. Marvel’s big event for 2008. Do I really care? No. I had my event already, and it seems to have taken Hulk out of the picture for SI. (Though, CBR’s Earth’s Most Wanted card deck gives me a bit of hope.) However, as Bendis~! is at the helm of this event, the results promise to be significant, so I just can’t ignore it. And so, I dutifully watched this newest marketing tool to see if I could glean any new info from it. Though, with possible mole/possible plant “Marvel B0y” seemingly spoiling things left and right, it may be an unnecessary effort. Anyway, some things I noticed.

Nick Fury is very important. Gee, really? I guess this means maybe he’ll show up for more than a few panels.

Skrulls. Are. EVERYWHERE! Initiative: Check. Avengers: Double Check (Thanks, Marvel B0y). Fantastic Four? Now that is interesting. I still hold out hope for Mr. Skrulltastic, but think it much more likely that we’ll see The Ever-Loving, Blue-Eyed Skrull and the Skrull Torch.

And that’s about it. Everything else is already old news, except for possibly that the Skrulls wanted to replace Echo and failed. And so, while I am somewhat interested in who is and is not a Skrull, I don’t really care about the story itself. I care more that this appears to be the finale of the 7 year Bendis Saga we’ve been wading through unknowingly. And maybe, just maybe, after Civil War, House of M, Silent War, World War Hulk, Messiah Complex, and Secret Invasion, we will finally know who, exactly, we can trust.
