Editorial Review:

Retrace the roots of "The Infiltration" all the way back to the beginning of the Marvel Age of Heroes! First, in Fantastic Four #2 (1962), it's a close encounter of the Skrull kind as four shape-changing aliens pose as Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in an attempt to destroy the fledgling Fantastic Four! Then, flash-forward to the present day as the "Secret Invasion" stands revealed in the pages of New Avengers: Illuminati, New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, and Avengers: The Initiative. Conspiracy. Paranoia. Betrayal. Who do you trust? Collecting Fantastic Four #2, New Avengers: Illuminati #1 and #5, New Avengers #31-32 and #38-39, Mighty Avengers #7, and Avengers: The Initiative Annual #1.

"Secret Invasion: The Infiltration" mix:

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:

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. checkmore info

Agree 100% with previous review.:

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:

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... more info
