the New Avengers #32 - Marvel

Last issue this group of Avengers fought the Hand and killed Elektra. You'd have thought they'd be elated. But after the dust settled, and they started looking over their handiwork, they discovered that Elektra had reverted to her true form . . . a Skrull. Just in case you didn't know, that's a shapeshifting alien who've been trying to take over the Earth since . . . oh I don't know . . . the inception of the Marvel universe. Wolverine puts it the best, when they're riding in the plane on their way home, " . . . Clint Barton . . . Hawkeye . . . back from the dead and all dolled up as the Ninja of the 21st century . . . where have you been the last few months? Don't feel like sharing? Dead, alive, dead, alive and here you are no bow and arrow . . . and with us instead of your old Avenger friends . . . . . Jessica Drew, the woman of 1000 allegiances. Who'd your daddy work for? Where were you before the New Avengers got together? SHIELD? HYDRA? Hey, where's Nick Fury, Jess? . . . . . Echo, Kingpin's assassin, is now, all of the sudden, the scourge of the underworld. The only 2 people that vouched for you were Cap, but he's dead . . . . and Matt Murdock, and he's . . . . wherever he is. And why is Cap dead? . . . . Peter Parker . . . the man who spent every single second of his adult life trying to protect his identity as Spider-man from the world . . . who just went and told the world he was Spider-man and escalated the war . . . . hey, Pete, who benefited the most by you doing that? . . . . Luke Cage . . . used to be a satin-shirt, metal-tiara wearing hero for hire . . . but now he went and turned himself into a husband and father and leader of a super-team that years ago he wouldn't be found dead on. Doctor Strange, nothing suspicious about you . . . master of the mystic arts. Where were you during the Civil War?" And of course he himself has many unanswered questions. Jessica wants to take the body to Tony Stark. But everyone else, thinks that's a bad idea. But Jess has thought it through, "If he's a Skrull, we'll know because of what he does with the information. If he tries to kill us, then we know he's a Skrull." Anyways this banter goes on back and forth between them the whole trip. That is until their engines cut out, and their plane is about to crash. Doctor Strange, Jess, and Peter all try to contribute to their rescue. But really all they can do is try to soften the landing. The plane comes down. Breaks in to about a hundred pieces. But . . . I think everyone survived. Jess is the first to recover. And she see's Elektra's body that's been thrown from the plane. She sees this as her opportunity. But Wolverine tries to stop her. He's severely torn up, so with one of her bio-blasts directly to his head, she takes him out. She then gathers up Elektra, and walks away. I have a feeling that this is only going to get worse, before it gets better. And it's going to have ramifications all around the Marvel universe. Well . . . if you read this book . . . you can say you saw where it all started.
