*Note, read the main story 1st. the tie ins show some stuff from the main that wouldn't make sense unless you read the main. cheers!

SECRET INVASION

very messy fight scenes. lack of thrills and suspense. very bland. probably millions of skrulls died, but maybe hundreds of humans died? whoa. hows that for a war?


---

Captain Marvel

a really bad way to kill off a dead character.


---

War Machine

i have no idea how this led up to war machine having his own series. adi granov covers were a shitty prank to make me believe that this was gonna be awesome.


---

Home Invasion

its a free webcomic. why even buy it other than to complete the spine picture thingy?


---

Fantastic Four

negative zone hoo ha


---

Nova

the thriller of the series. Nova the human rocket just keep soaring higher and higher!


---

Incredible Hercules

the god squad and the god mobile! what more can you ask for? the comic of the series


---

Front Line

POV from ben urich! yaketty yak!


---

Captain Britain and MI13

a new hero is born, another dies, and another hero dies and is reborn.


---

Thunderbolts

the series so bad, no one artist could do it all.


---

New Avengers Book 1

Spiderman n Ka-Zar! Jessica Jones registration! and Queen Veranke's plans! all in one book!


---

Runaways / Young Avengers

love the art by takeshi miyazawa. half of each team, team up!


---

Black Panther

a soldiers point of view in the battlefield. the best story you can get out of a war.


---

New Warriors

who are these guys even? its sad to see jubilee find New Warriors as her elephant graveyard. And its not even a Secret Invasion tale.


---

X-Men

the action packed book of the series! it even has more omph! than the main book. only pissing part was that they lied about wolverine!


---

Inhumans

the search for black bolt begins. and kree n inhumans put aside their differences.


---

Who do you trust?

one shot stories of Cap Marvel, Marvel Boy, Abigail Brand, Wonder Man and the Agents of Atlas. wordy iron man's summary of the skrulls and their activities. and a dossier on ALL the skrulls we know.. and some we dont. great, if u have time to kill.


---

Mighty Avengers Book 1

Marvel gets a healthy dose of new heroes in the form of the Howling Commandos! and Bendis plays fill in the blanks.


---

Ms Marvel

only enjoyed greg horn's covers.


---

Spider-Man

brand new day's mary jane, jackpot, has her story told. the backstory is more interesting than the original SI story.


---

Thor

Marvel's Shazam pulling out all the stops against the skrull war. and manages to deliver a baby.


---

Mighty Avengers Book 2

like book 1, but one more time, with feeling. (i cheated, i read the hardcover for this.)


---

lesson learnt:
Marvel are f***ers. Storyarcs and TPB are getting shorter for the same or increased price.

there are other SI titles not included here cos as when published, the titles are still in hardcover format and i havent had the chance to read them, though i ll follow them up in comics i read this week.
