 "Secret Invasion: The Infiltration" mix May 16, 2008
Odd mixture of comicbook stories. It is up to you to decide how you prefer to read the story: this way, or collected in a homogeneous one-series volume.
 Are Marvel fans that gullible April 19, 2008

Does Marvel believe its fan base is that gullible. Doesn't anyone notice the striking similarities between this new "event" from marvel and Battlestar Galactica. Upon reading this and where the event is going, I have to wonder why Brian Michael Bendis hasn't been served by Ronald D. Moore.
Let's look at the similarities:
1. Oppressed wants to wipe out humans and take control of Earth. Check
2. sleeper agents disguised as loveable characters. check
3. Vast religious overtones. check
Sorry guys I expected better from Marvel, but to just blatently rip off a concept from a show that is still in its first run and has a wide fan base that is also your fan base is quite sad.
We should boycott Joe Q. and his reign of terror. When I actually asked this question to Brian Michael Bendis at wizard world Philly, he actually has the gall to say he came up with the concept first. Does he think his fans are stupid?
Don't be this trash. Oh wait I have a better idea wait til Marvel comes out with it's next event, when the blackbird crashes on an island and the X-men experience flashbacks and find themselves in a war with a group of hostiles called the Differents. And they'll call X-Fated Astray.
sorry, I'm literally just not buying it.
Agree 100% with previous review. April 16, 2008

This book starts off with an extremely old Fantastic Four story about Skrulls. Just a neat little thing Marvel threw in. I skimmed it quickly, then started the actual book. Turns out, I already read the first part. And the second. And the third. The entire book is taken from other books that have already been printed in tpb format...
Still, a great read by itself, if I didn't already own the respective books it took material from.
Worth picking up only for those out of the Secret Invasion loop April 9, 2008
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
Secret Invasion: The Infiltration is a pretty handy companion to Marvel's next big mega-event, but that being said, this is only worth picking up for those that have been out of the loop and are new to the proceedings. For those that don't know, it has become clear that the shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrulls have infiltrated the planet, and possibly every superhero team in the Marvel universe. Collecting the classic debut of the Skruls in a very early issue of Fantastic Four by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, as well as recent issues of Secret Invasion writer Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers, as well as the first and final issues of Bendis' New Avengers: Illuminati mini-series, Secret Invasion: The Infiltration provides readers with some solid past and more recent history that leads up to the event. The thing is, the issues collected here can already be found (or will be found soon) in other TPB collections, so if you already own any of them, this TPB isn't worth picking up unless you're a die-hard completest. Other than that though, Secret Invasion: The Infiltration is worth picking up for those that have been out of the loop or don't follow any of the aforementioned series', but that's it.
