The Skrulls are back - with a vengeance! When Maria Hill detects the merest hint of Skrull activity, she immediately puts her defensive plans into action. Nick Fury is sent to investigate a sighting in Iowa, but he quickly finds the last thing he was expecting! Earth's defenders are extremely motivated to ensure that this new Skrull Secret Invasion doesn't go the way the last one did. All Maria needs to do is confirm that the Avengers really are who they claim to be. What could possibly go wrong? A familiar face from her past is behind this latest incursion, but are they acting alone? Soon, Maria finds herself facing both betrayal and a choice - and what she chooses will decide the fate of not just Earth, but also of the entire Skrull race! Collecting SECRET INVASION (2022) #1-5.
Writer Ryan North went the self-publishing route to launch his comics career with Dinosaur Comics, which has run for more than 2,000 web-based strips. He describes it as basically the best job ever. In 2012, he was tapped by BOOM! Studios to write its new Adventure Time series based on the popular cartoon. His Marvel debut came in 2014 when he penned the Young Avengers chapters of Original Sins. North propelled an unlikely character to solo title success with the Eisner Award-winning series The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and took Lockjaw solo in the pages of Inhumans: Once and Future Kings. He rewrote the Shakespeare rulebook with Romeo and/or Juliet: A Chooseable-Path Adventure.
