The Skrulls are coming, the skrulls are coming! Momma, grab the wee ones and pack into the Subaru Outback, we're headin' for the hills! Unless of course the hills are also skrulls. Or skrills I suppose. And if you listen to that guy, what's his name, oh yeah it's BENDIS!, he would have us believe this Skrullsploitation has been underway for years and years. In one interview I actually found him hinting that some character might have been a Skrull for the past 30 years. I laughed out loud. Then I cried. Because nobody likes to retcon, and this plot... well, lets just say its a retcon waiting ot happen.
But in reality, who the hell knows. Could be great. Hell, it probably will be. BENDIS! has proven he's got what it takes, and he isn't stepping on too many toes. He said that Civil War and House of M are still valid and not Skrull driven. But he also hinted that while these things were happening the Skrulls took full advantage. Skrulls, skrulls, skrulls. Never thought one post could have so much wrinkly green chin thingies.
So who can you trust?
That's the new slogan, replacing "whose side are you on?" and "Back in black" for Marvel hype machine phrase of the year. I must admit, it is kinda fun wondering who is a skrull and who isn't. All arrows point to Clint Barton/Ronin but I think thats just too easy. Poor dude is going to find himself on the wrong end of an adamantium clawed fist and die. Again. And when Logan sees that Ole Clint was just a regular dude, albeit a dude that ROSE FROM THE FUCKING DEAD, well, maybe that will add one more empty beer bottle to the pile that night. But seriously.
Tony Stark also way too obvious. Ms Marvel is much more likely. Either Hank Pym or Reed Richards is a sure shot. One of those two neo-con douchebags has got to be a Skrull. My money is on Hank as F4 is a film franchise after all and you can't really mess with the fans that much. revenues and such.
Anyhow, thats about all the geeking out I have to say about New Avengers #31. As for HulkSmash, it was fine. Lots of things got exploded, Iron Man wore an even more ridiculously jacked up suit and still lost, and everything worked well for an opening chapter. I honestly will return for more because I can't quite figure out how this ends well. Its almost deus ex machina time. If Mean Green can take out Black Bolt (and just for the record may I add on that count 'yeah fucking right!' All the dude needed to do was sneeze and hulks atoms would be vaporized) then the sky is the limit and by the sky I mean the Sentry of course.
Looking back on the week that was, Fables kicked ridiculous ass (a big shocker, that) New X-men continues to impress, and where the hell is DC? Anyone heard from DC? Countdown? Hello? Step it up, fellas.
Looking ahead... Endangered Species. Me likey. Also, Cap and more. Should be pretty radical, dude.
Howl on,
