It seems we're sticking with a theme this month . . . well . . duh! We're getting in to the thick of the Secret Invasion story-lines, so . . . yeah, they're probably gonna be the theme of all of these Avenger books this month. Especially since Hank Pym is in all of them. But that's the beauty of his position, since everybody sees him as the 'fallen hero', and they all dump on him . . what would a Skrull see as the advantage of taking his position? Well let's see . . . he's on every team. He consults regularly with the biggest brains on the planet. And . . no one suspects him. No one even questioned how he survived that ship exploding in Texas, or how he escaped the Tactigon weapon. But the biggest part of this story, I think, is Crusader's realization about Hank. He's misses Skrullian T'manja Berries. But, the closest thing to them is pickles and strawberries. When he sees Hank with a plate of the same thing, he then knows. But he doesn't want Hank to know about him. I'm not sure what that's about. Anyways, 3-D Man realizes that the goggles that his mentor gave him, from the original costume, allows him to see Skrulls. When he gets to his assigned state, Hawaii . . the lucky bastard, it allows him to see that Magnitude is a Skrull. And of course there's a fight. But, what he really wants is to get back to Camp Hammond and let his superiors know . . 1, that they've been infiltrated, and 2, that he has the means to find the spies. But when he arrives at Camp, he already raving. The Crusader overhears him and is worried about being found out. So, he uses the Freedom Ring to muck with 3-D Man's head, and when he opens his eyes . . all he can see are Skrulls . . . every single person in camp. The question I have is this, obviously everyone can't be a Skrull so he's gonna know that someone messed with him. So, if he gives the goggle to someone else . . will they be able to see the enemy? And how long do you think it'll take him to figure that out? Anyways, I like the story that Dan Slott and Christos Gage are constructing here. The thing I really like about this book is the sheer abundance of characters. It's really hard to say who's my favorite, because there's just so many good ones here. And I really think Stefano Caselli is doing a great job with the art. I honestly didn't think that this book would last this long, but . . I'm glad it did.
