    Default Meet the Skrulls mini announced

    https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/11...iko-henrichon/

    The Warners are your typical family. Dad works at Stark. Mom works in a Senator’s office. Jennifer and Alice are students at Stamford High School. The only thing that makes them different is that they’re shape-shifting Skrulls and have infiltrated our society to pave the way for a Skrull invasion. Robbie Thompson (SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL) and Niko Henrichon (DOCTOR STRANGE, Pride of Baghdad) bring the Marvel Universe down to Earth with a bold new look at the Skrulls that will test even YOUR loyalty. COLLECTING: MEET THE SKRULLS 1-5

    Since that's a TPB solicit, it seems to be a digital weekly series out in February with the trade out in March. Reminds me of Tom King's Vision.

    That bit at the end of the article is wrong, Marvel Studios could always use Skrulls, just not Super Skrulls. And they were announced for CM before the deal was a rumor. And lo, Rich can't Google.

    have infiltrated our society to pave the way for a Skrull invasion.

    How about a new story for the skrulls House of Ideas?
    I know that's their but this doesn't sound like anything interesting.
    This is like selling a wolverine book by describing as, "Logan tried to live a normal life but then he goes around stabbing people. "
    You don't sell a book by just describing the base story beats for that character.

    Movie synergy is everywhere nowadays.

    I remember when folks said it was a Marvel thing alone until DC “Momoasized” Aquaman. Lol.

    So, The Americans except with Skrull spies instead of Russian spies posing as American citizens.

    Time for some synergy!

    Somehow I can't help but think Invader Zim already did this premise better 17 years ago.

    Interesting idea. It would be interesting to see how ingrained colonialism is in them

    I was REALLY into it until the whole Skrull invasion thing. Why so obvious? Hopefully there's some twist in there, like how some people expected Tom King's The Vision to be a typical family superhero book but then it turned out to be an epic dark thriller. I hope the writer delivers, 'cause I'll be checking this out. Also, hopefully this is a part of something bigger. Like, not another Secret Invasion, but a bigger story featuring the Skrulls. It doesn't even have to be an event. I'd settle for an arc in the Captain Marvel book.

    Feels like they're going for a Vision vibe here. This looks like fun, but I feel guilty with the digital series I buy already since I feel like I have to cut back on the books I buy from my local comic shop.

    Gearing up for Secret Invasion 2, which will probably be over in an afternoon again.

    I sorta hope one of them actually turns out to be a good guy and becomes an Avenger or something.

    That or at least one Skrull out of the Carol Danvers movie synergy. I always thought it would be interesting following/reading about a Skrull from their perspective. I also think shapeshifting as a powerset is pretty cool.
