This comic just continues to impress me. After a relatively slow issue last month, this issue ratchets up the pace. Mr. Fantastic is back in action. The rocket ship Skrulls are revealed. Clint Baton, my favorite Marvel character who isn’t the son of Odin, takes an emotional hit so hard that it just leaps from the pages straight to your heart.

About the only negative in the whole book is the continued use of thinly disguised expletives, as in “@#%#$@”. Of course, it is better than using the actual words, but they are so clearly laid out in context that your brain can’t help but fill in the appropriate curse.

But this book is so well written that I can let that go. Bendis has done amazing things with characters I normally could not care less about like Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Agent Brand. Secret Invasion has been head and shoulders above DC’s Final Crisis, and issue five shows no signs of changing that.
