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.

Well if you’ve read the first issue of Secret Invasion, you know she opened a huge hole to the Negative Zone, blowing up half the Baxter Building. But what happens after that?

Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the cover to Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #1.

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?

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.

With the revelation that Black Bolt’s been replaced by a Skrull in disguise, it’s time for the Inhumans to get ready for the big payback!

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.

Flee to the hills! The aliens are among us! Red Scare! Red Scare! Red Scare!

I actually really dig this sneak peek at Secret Invasion #1 that arrives next week. Black Bolt and Elektra are known, but what are those “infiltration success” locations all about? Could those Greg Horn images actually be correct?And if you missed the Secret Invasion Prologue, you can check it out at the Marvel DCU (Digital Comics Unlimited). Registration is required.
