Every year, the Big Two comic book publishers put out their own blockbuster mini-series in an attempt to capture the summer movie extravaganza feel and you can define who you are by which one you're excited about. DC Comics is gearing up for their big continuity shattering event Final Crisis from certifiably insane scotsman Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones while Marvel is prepping Secret Invasion from Brian Michael Bendis and Leiil Yu. I'll read both, and I love Grant, but I'm pumped for Invasion.
The series follows a story that's been hiding in the Marvel Universe and planned for about four years wherein Skrulls, an evil, shape-shifting, alien race hellbent on taking over Earth, have infiltrated the super-hero community. It's very reminiscent of V and the new Battlestar Galactica only happening in the mainstream Marvel universe. Basically, anyone could be a Skrull.
Recently, some pretty crazy spoilers got revealed in a pretty crazy controversy by an alleged marvel intern/blogger called marvel b0y. There's a few stories about the issue here and here.
I've actually tracked down the "big" spoilers he wrote about. If they're true, they're cool, even though the general nerd consensus is that this is some hype-viral-bullshit on Marvel's part to get some publicity. The things he said do match up with some notes editor Tom Brevoort posted recently (here), so who knows?
I, myself, have gotten my hands on some insider info to how the eight-issue series ends. It's a big, big, big fucking spoiler, so prepare yourself:
CLICK IF YOU DARE
Yes. You just got rickrolled.
But, hey, even Rick Astley could be a Skrull.
