Oh My God! (make sure you say it like Jonathan Higgins)
The Secret Invasion is upon us, and it’s not secret anymore. Who’s a Skrull, who isn’t a Skrull, and just when did all this happen?
We’ve been waiting for it ever since Elektra was revealed as a Skrull, now Marvel launches the first salvo of Secret Invasion: Infiltration in two issues - New Avengers: Illuminati #5, and Avengers: The Initiative Annual #1.
They are sans word balloons, but Marvel has sent a sneak peek of the two issues that you can see after the jump.
In just 24 hours, Marvel’s Halo: Uprising #1 sold out at Diamond (although you may still be able to find a copy in your local shop). So it’s not such a big deal I posted the peek at issue one a day late as it only gets fans frothing for the next issue.
Speaking of the next issue, Marvel dropped off the cover that you can see after the jump.
Brian Bendis, Alex Maleev, and Matt Hollingsworth are teaming up for Halo: Uprising. Based on the xBox video game, Halo: Uprising #1 finds Master Chief trying to make it to Earth to fend off the Covenant.
“It was an honor to be asked to add something to the Halo pot,” said writer Brian Michael Bendis. “To bring to Halo what the graphic novel brought, some humanity and perspective—something you can’t get in the game based solely on the nature of the different mediums. Alex and I also have tried to create a juicy sci-fi story that even if you don’t play or know anything about Halo, you could buy this and enjoy it just on its own character and storytelling momentum. But if you are a Halo die-hard you will find connections, characters, and references to not only the three Halo games, but the novels as well.”
Marvel Comics has sent us a sneak peek of the series that arrives in August for $3.99.
After Civil War and World War Hulk, what is a Marvel Universe to do? There is a top secret epic coming our way in 2008, and it all starts with the reveal of Ronin’s true identity in New Avengers #30. Marvel Comics has sent us a sneak peek of the issue.
When Ultimate Spider-Man #103 hits the stands it will set a new record for Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley for the most issues by a single creative team at Marvel. The previous record was held by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
The Clone Saga wraps up with a double-sized Ultimate Spider-Man #104, and to commemorate the event, Mark Bagley has created a cover of the web-head swinging through the streets of New York, in an homage to Joe Quesada’s cover to Ultimate Spider-Man #1. But hold on - is this the real Spider-Man under the mask? The big question on everyone’s mind will be, “What happened to all the clones and genetic twins unleashed during the Clone Saga?
If you have read all of the reviews I have done on the Clone Saga, you know this has been one heck of a ride, #104 will be in stores January 10, 2007 for $3.99.
Gwen Stacy is back, with no memory of what has occurred in the Ultimate Universe since her demise. What’s worse, the Clone Saga gets more intense as S.H.E.I.L.D. finds out Peter Parker is being cloned, and Aunt May shows up…

Love it or hate it, the Clone Saga has made its way to the Ultimate universe. The controversial series from the mid 90s (or 70s depending on which one you think of first), turned the industry upside down and had many fans decrying and cheering at the same time. Well true believers, it looks like it is back in Ultimate Spider-Man #97.
