This one star rating is strictly for the state of the book it arrived in. It was basically folded over it self. The pics I uploaded were after days of me trying to straighten it out with my heavier books. I’ve already read this storyline when it first came out and it is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars for a strong tie-in
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014

There are two New Avengers tie-in trades for the crossover event Secret Invasion. And honestly, there is no good reason, other than greed, why they weren't collated into one book. Never-the-less, they are excellent tie-ins that really expand on the event and show how far back it truly began.

Book 1 goes quite a ways back to set-up the Secret Invasion, with the seeds laid right after Disassembled - even before House of M! The first two stories that open the book really don't add much to the big picture. Jessica Jones chooses to register in the wake of Civil War, which causes a break in her relationship with Luke Cage. I'm not sure why this was included since the only tie to Secret Invasion is that a couple of characters who appear are actually Skrulls. The next bit follows-up with Echo, who was rescued from the Hand by the "secret" Avengers (those who split from the New Avengers & are on the run from registration). During that mission, they discovered that Elektra was a Skrull and now they are after Echo to replace her. Neither of these stories is essential. However, the remainder of the book is crucial.

Jessica Drew, aka Spiderwoman, is at the heart of Secret Invasion. After reading the main event, I was still confused as to the sequence of when pivotal figures were (or were not!) replaced. Here, readers see the planning of Secret Invasion from the Skrull POV as well as how and when Spiderwoman was replaced. The book also has a small bit that takes place in the Savage Land (and continues into  New Avengers Vol. 9: Secret Invasion, Book 2 ) which leads to another key figure: Captain America.

Overall, this tie-in was critical to helping me see the larger picture of Secret Invasion, as well as how far back the writers laid the foundation. Highly recommended.

Side note: Though I'm not happy about the New Avengers material being released in two small books, at least Marvel is now releasing tie-ins as one large "companion" to the crossover events.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a continuous story, and best read piece by piece along with main story
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2014

This had some interesting elements if you were a fan of Secret Invasion and want some more background to go with that story. This will make little sense if you haven't read the Secret Invasion story though. Be warned as well that the first two issues collected here are best read BEFORE Secret Invasion, the rest should be read alongside the main story.

I could take or leave this collection, and bought it only because I was collecting all the New Avengers volumes. It does have some good background to SI, but nothing that's particularly essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets Revealed
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2008
This book collects New Avengers #38-43. These issues are a part of a larger Marvel comics story line which involve the seruptitious invasion of the planet by a shape shifting alien race called the Skrulls. The Skrulls have kidnapped and taken over the identities of various costumed heroes and are now using the identities of these heroes as part of their take over of the planet.

The invasion of the earth by the Skrulls has been going on for years and years. However their infilatration and how they managed to achieve it is only revealed in NA #38-43.

I had ceased reading New Avengers around issue #30. But I was persuaded to pick up the Skrull Invasion issues, due to the fact that I had become captivated by the Skrull Queen Veranke. Veranke, as it is shown is the consumate leader and strategist.

She is a true leader who while in charge is very respctful towards her subjects. She loves them with a combination of love and respect. She also very shrewd and flexible enough to change plans as needed.

Marvel comics is replete with many, many strong, highly intelligent and very powerful women. But I think that Veranke is the best offering yet which has come out of that company. I am a huge Emma Frost fan, but I find Veranke more interesting. Because unlike Emma she is respctful towards her subjects and is not arrogant.T he fact that Veranke is a villainess makes her even more interesting!

The only thing is, this book can not be read in a vacume. Familiarity with the previous Avengers stories are needed to understand this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inside Secret Invasion

Warning: if you haven't read any of Secret Invasion, be prepared for spoilers.

During the run of Marvel's Secret Invasion mega event, Brian Michael Bendis's runs on New Avengers and Mighty Avengers have basically become what you could consider an insider's look behind the big events going on. The eighth collected volume of New Avengers collects the first five Secret Invasion tie-in issues, beginning with the breakup of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, who sought sanctuary from Tony "Iron Man" Stark when things took a real turn for the worse. Next up, Echo finds herself the subject of the latest Skrull replacement, followed by developments spun directly out of the beginning of Bendis' New Avengers: Illuminati mini-series, as we learn just how using Spider-Woman plays into the Skrulls' plan, going all the way back to the beginning of New Avengers and the massive prison breakout that first brought them all together. There's also a direct tie-in to Secret Invasion involving the New Avengers trapped in the Savage Land with Ka-Zar, which will definitely leave you hanging if you haven't read any of Secret Invasion yet. The inconsistency is what's definitely this volume's biggest flaw, but only for those who haven't been keeping up with Secret Invasion, who may find things a bit confusing here. Still, there are plenty of questions that get answered with these side issues to the main event, and there's solid artwork throughout from Michael Gaydos, David Mack, Jim Cheung, and Billy Tan. All in all, with Secret Invasion in full swing, these New Avengers issues are essential reads to help bring everything full circle.
