Making it Good: Secret Invasion
Apr. 6th, 2008 03:32 amHow to make Secret Invasion good. First have Keith Giffen writing it instead of Brian Micheal Bendis. Second, no vast army of Skrulls backed by huge numbers of previously unknown Power Skrulls and Super Skrulls and Other Adjective Skrulls. Because if the Skrull Empire HAD those troops it would have made sense that they used them when ANNIHILUS WAS BITCHSLAPPING THEM. Instead you still have Skrull commandoes and long-term sleeper agents (but please have them be people where it makes sense. Hank Pym yes. Invisible Woman no.) And they're working for the Kree...
Yeah you heard me.
See you wait until Annihilation: Conquest is done. Then you have Ronan the Accuser (and current Kree Emperor) find out that the REASON Annihilus attacked was because Tony and Reed had the genius idea of building a prison in his back-yard. Perfect thing to do around the paranoid, xenophobic super-villain right? So Annihilation? Earth's fault. Next Ultron and the Phalanx? ALSO Earth's fault. And the Kree have shown themselves to being just a little bit vengeful...
This means once the Earth heroes get their shit together and take down the Skrull infiltrators? THATS when the Kree armada backed by a mess of Sentry robots attacks. Sure its still not terribly original, being similar to 75% of the DC cross-over events. But better than the garbage they've BEEN setting up...
