Well, what do you know, Ems *will* prevail over the thought-wall.

Love Ems to death, but, please, do be careful x-office. The Pixie thingy in UXM was lame. Just... be careful.

Anyway, mini's been rock solid so far, so I'm giving Mike the benefit of the doubt.

Secret Invasion: X-Men #3 will arrive in stores on Oct. 29 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Mike Carey, with art by Cary Nord and a cover by Terry Dodson.

Here's how Marvel describes the issue:

"Emma Frost fights alone against the Skrull thought-wall and Anole goes deep behind enemy lines as the guerrilla war turns into a war of extermination. Hank McCoy searches for the secret weapon that will give the X-Men a decisive advantage: but using it may be worse than losing the war..."

Secret Invasion: X-Men #3 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99

All this and no skrull in the biggest team in the Marvel Universe? And I mean that members wise, not importance wise, cause the Avengers are clearly more important.

I always thought it was strange that Marvel didn't really imply a Skrull infiltration in the X-Men. Like in that online trailer they released a while back, it showed the Avengers base, the Baxter Building, and the Sanctum Sanctorum. It'd be too easy to slip a few of their own into the X-Men's ranks, but... nothing.

I suppose the X-Men are basically a more close-off community than other superhero groups, and the Skrulls rely on impersonating people to infiltrate, impersonating someone who has to live and act close to a large amount of people makes their secrecy a lot more difficult imo, besides, X-Men have too many enemies, both from the government and outside, a factor which also complicates the Skrulls' work.

 

[Manic]

I guess that makes sense. No point in infiltrating the X-Men if they're getting hunted down by giant government robots or thrown into concentration camps every other week.

I thought they did. There were teaser shots with X-men characters as Skrulls and there were several covers, especially Cyclops ones with him as a skrull

 

[Manic]

I always took those images as seriously as the zombie variant covers, or the ape covers they're doing these days. Showing me a picture of a Skrull Phoenix doesn't really raise my suspicions.

Good thing is that the story is far more enjoyable than the art.

At least there's something good.

 

[OutcryX]

oh yeah...what was up with the gay jokes (implied) that bobby and Sam (of all people) were cracking, along with Kurt?

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

which ones?

The X-Men's guerrilla tactics force Commander H'Kurrek to take ruthless measures against the people of San Francisco. Thousands of lives are at stake, and there are only minutes in which to ask: but are the X-Men prepared to descend to the same tactics as their enemies, and target the innocent in order to win a war?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

It was such a treat to see Sunspot, Cannonball and ESPECIALLY Magma in the same panel. I loves Amara :heart:

 

[UraniaChang]

I like 90% of this title (10% minus because of the art and coloring), feel kind of taps into the reality.
