Secret Invasion #4

Despite some complaints, I'm still giving this a Must Read. This issue finally got me interested in this event and I'm honestly looking forward to the next issue, a feeling I haven't had for any of the Secret Invasion issues to date.

Shawn Hill: I think Times Square is definitely over. The Skrulls we know about for sure are Hank, Sue, Jarvis, Dum Dum and Spider-Woman.

Yu has improved. Although his characters continue to have the same cheeky and bony faces, his story telling and is actually clear. He also limits the amount of crosshatching which helps readers to read the pages. He almost feels like a major and serious comic book artist now. Read Full Review

Secret Invasion #4 was another pedestrian read. Secret Invasion continues to completely unimpress me and is by no means even one of the top 10 titles that Marvel is currently publishing. I continue to find Secret Invasion to be an slow, unoriginal, predictable and shallow story. Read Full Review

Series is really great but this title does much better with avengers titles being read alongside. Epic ending with the big three being teased.
