Marvel's Secret Invasion #1 hit comic book stores today. I'm not sure if this was as hyped as I thought it was. I guess I kind of hyped it up for myself more than I should have, because it's the first major thing to happen since I got into comic books. I started reading right at the end of Civil War and the transition into Back in Black. I've since broadened my horizon to more than just The Amazing Spider-Man. Well, I picked up Secret Invasion #1 today, got home, read it, and enjoyed it. It's a pretty good story, I just hope the "goodness" keeps with it throughout the entire 8 issue run. #1 ended with some questions and cliffhangers, so I'm definitely awaiting #2. I've yet to read any of the tie-ins, but I picked a few of those up as well. So, if you're looking for something new to get into to, go pick up Secret Invasion #1, if it hasn't sold out yet.
If you don't know anything about Secret Invasion...I'll tell you. It's pretty simple actually. An alien species called Skrulls are shapeshifters, who are taking the forms of superheroes in the Marvel Universe and infiltrating their ranks. The story mostly focuses on The New Avengers and The Mighty Avengers, at least #1 did for the most part. The regular New Avengers and Mighty Avengers issues will tie into The Secret Invasion, as well as other titles.
