Marvel Comics let us know that Secret Invasion #1 is getting a third reprinting, while Secret Invasion #2, New Avengers #40, and Mighty Avengers #13 are all getting a second reprint run to meet demand. As with nearly every reprint being done today, there are variant covers to go along with them.
We have those and release dates for the reprints after the jump.
Skrull Avengers - Assemble!
Thirty days have passed, and you’ve had your chance to get your fill of Secret Invasion tie-ins, which means it’s time to check back in on the stand off between the Marvel heroes that stepped off that wrecked space ship, and the Marvel heros that arrived from the mainland. You can bet there are more secrets to be revealed, and more spoilers ahead - you’ve been duly warned.
You, yes you, reading this entry right now. Stop what you are doing and get over to the Major Spoilers Forum. While there isn’t a lot of activity, there is some really good stuff there if you just look. Like Hermit’s Miscellaneous Random Irregular Trade Paperback Reviews (The Spirit Vol 21 is his first outing), and StevieCool’s interpretation of what Secret Invasion #2 should be all about.

Ship Captain America: Why won’t anyone fight me?
Ship Vision: According to my records, you’re dead.Ship Captain America: So they don’t fight ghosts?

Ship Vision: So far?
Ship Captain America: Yes
Ship Vision: ZeroShip Captain America: ATTENTION EVERYONE! I AM NOT A ZOMBIE.
Ship Vision: That’s exactly what a zombie Cap would say.
Ship Captain America: Dammit!
Why isn’t StevieCool writing regularly for us? I think he’s a Skrull…
or, oh thank the green fields, they FINALLY brought back Nick!
I don’t ask for a lot out of my comic books. In reality, it is pretty simple; non-powered heroes kicking the sh!t out of powered bad and good guys alike. I’m one of those who like the Batman plethora of good guys over, say, Green Lantern or Supes.
So, with my excitement level already built up for Marvel’s Secret Invasion, you can imagine how stoked I finally was to see the return of one of my favorite ever super-heroes; Nick Fury!
That’s right boys and girls, the eye-patched ex-director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is finally back, and he is going to kick some serious ass!
Time for Hercules to get involved in the Skrull invasion. He’s not alone, as he’s bringing the God Squad with him to deal with the wrinkly jawed foe.
You can get your own sneak peek of Incredible Hercules #117 after the jump, thanks to Marvel Comics.
If you have been listening to the Major Spoilers Podcast, you know I’m not a big Marvel reader, but I sure am excited about the Secret Invasion. The problem is, I didn’t get in on all the lead up issues so I might be missing out on some important plot points.
Take for example, Captain Marvel #4 and #5 and Ms. Marvel #25, which Marvel claims are “crucial tie-ins” to Skrullapalooza 2008. The good news is, instead of reprinting each issue individually, Marvel is collecting the three issues in a single reprint one-shot.
What do those silly Skrulls want with the heroes from the UK? We’ll find out in Captain Britan and MI: 13 #1, Marvel’s latest ongoing series spinning out of Secret Invasion.
Marvel has previously announced the series, but today sent Major Spoilers the variant cover by Brandon Peterson.
Take the jump for the full cover featuring a winged skrullified Ghost Rider - no wonder Marvel is the House of Ideas.
There were a lot of big announcements made at the New York Comic Con that took place this weekend.
As if you can’t already get enough Skrullerific images from the Who Do You Trust? campaign, Marvel has gone and done it to Marvel’s First Family (with a little help from Mike McKone).
Mavel has sent Major Spoilers the variant cover image to Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #1 that arrives May 14, 2008.
According to Marvel, Secret Invasion #1 has completely sold out at Diamond Comics Distributors, prompting the company to go back to press so fans can get their hands on the issue that has everyone at Major Spoilers buzzing.
The variant cover features the “big reveal” featuring well known Marvel characters exiting a crashed Skrull ship.
In honor of Skrullapalooza week (that’s Secret Invasion week for you not on the Major Spoilers Funny Wagon)!
Yes, we reviewed the album on a recent Major Spoilers Podcast, now you can experience the joy, humor, and kick-assishness that is Ookla the Mok and their song Super Skrull.
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?
StevieCool over in the Major Spoilers forum, has been posting a series of humorous takes on Secret Invasion.
Head over to the forum to see the rest.
Here are two more images courtesy of Marvel Comics asking that age old question, “Who Do You Trust?” The variant edition for Secret Invasion #1 shows Spider-Man in mid turn. I don’t know if that is a big reveal or not, but this latest by Greg Horn sure makes you wonder.
It’s the 90s all over again kiddies, with variant covers coming fast and furious for titles and reprints. The latest variant comes from Dynamic Forces and Marvel for next week’s Secret Invasion #1 by Mel Rubi.
Comic fans old and new know Mel Rubi’s art from the immense variety of titles and characters that he has drawn for the past two decades. Mel’s countless credits include hit Marvel titles such as Uncanny X-Men, Excalibur and Wolverine, as well as Image titles Grifter, Stormwatch and Deathblow, and for Dark Horse, Star Wars: The Bounty Hunters - Scoundrel’s Wages. Most recently, Mel completed the smash hit crossover series, Spider-Man / Red Sonja.
Looks like there are other variants on the way from Dynamic Forces, and we’ll keep you posted on that… no really, we will.
