Franklin Richards: Not-So-Secret Invasion #1
In "Skrull Surprise!", Franklin Richards’ routine day takes a bizarre turn when his trusty robot H.E.R.B.I.E. grows suspicious—Franklin’s suddenly too well-behaved, cleaning his room and eating his vegetables. But is the real Franklin really gone? Written by Marc Sumerak and illustrated by Chris Eliopoulos, this 2008 Marvel tale delivers a clever, lighthearted twist on the classic alien infiltration trope, with Eliopoulos handling pencils, inks, and letters, and Brad Anderson adding color. The cover by Chris Eliopoulos captures the moment of robotic unease perfectly.
