This was an interesting book. Basically the Skrulls have decided to make San Francisco one of the launching points, for the invasion. Unfortunately . . for them . . their intel seems to be a little behind because they aren't aware of the X-Men's recent arrival here. They're still a force to be reckoned with but, they were expecting little to no resistance. The interesting part about this whole thing for me is that these Skrulls actually think that there mission is a Holy War. They believe that they've embarked upon a crusade. Which actually makes them even more dangerous because now they believe that anyone that dies . . . "They will be remembered and honored." Also they have this orb with them that they call 'the Unborn One'. Apparently it links telepathically with whomever is in possession of it because Kurt ends up with it after their skirmish and it keeps promising him . . "Meditate on me, and you will find what you seek." So I'm wondering, is this whole thing actually the Skrulls idea or have they been brainwashed by this alien orb? Interesting! Mike Carey wrote this story. I like the way that he's handling the particpants on both sides of this . . . Crusade? Also Cary Nord's art is perfect for this book. There's some scenes in the beginning where Bobby is making this ice-fog, to try to hide the city, and we see these Skrull ships flying through the fog with nothing but the city lights to illuminate their way. It really has a great feel to it. And how hot does Emma and Laura look on that cover? Yeowzaa!
