Secret Invasion 6

Secret Invasion has been very good so far, but this issue is where things really picked up. The Avengers in the Savage Land, along with Reed Richards (Whom discovered a way to detect skrulls) and Agent Brand finally make it to NYC to battle the Skrulls. They are joined by Nick Fury and his new Howling Commandoes, the Young Avengers, The Initiative,  Thunderbolts and The Hood's Syndicate of Criminals. Thor and Captain America also arrive in NYC, and they both have words as to who the other one is, when they meet. 

With the group of heroes facing the Skrulls, Spider-Woman aka Queen Veranke tells them that the Skrulls are here to save them and that "He Loves you" Spider-Man asks who "He" is and the Queen replies, "God". Nick Fury then delivers the best line of the issue, "Yeah, well my God has a Hammer" and following this Iron Man yells Avengers Assemble. The comic ends with two back to back double splash pages. Reading this issue makes the wait for the next one seem like a year. This was an excellent comic and with the next issue being the battle, it will be interesting to see what happens to our favorite heroes. Issue #7 the penultimate issue of the series will be available on October 22 at your local comic book shop, or wherever you buy your comics.
