Ms. Marvel #28

Ms. Marvel stands her ground against a snarling Skrull warrior wearing a twisted mashup of Thor's hammer and Captain America's costume — a chilling visual shorthand for the shape-shifting threat at the heart of 2008's Secret Invasion crossover. Greg Horn's painted cover crackles with energy beams and lightning as Carol Danvers fires back, outnumbered but clearly not outmatched. With Brian Reed writing and Chris Sotomayor coloring the interior, this tie-in issue — "Secret Invasion: The Battle of Manhattan" — promises Carol right in the thick of Marvel's alien war.
