Secret Invasion #5

Three looming Skrulls leer down from the shadows above as Iron Man, a young woman with a gun, and a cloaked figure stand their ground against a blazing explosion — it's a striking image of humanity pushed to the edge. Ryan North, Francesco Mobili, and Jordie Bellaire bring a classic thriller aesthetic to this 2023 Marvel series, with the cover's warm, smoky palette evoking vintage spy cinema in the best way. If you've been following this Skrull infiltration story, issue #5 looks to raise the tension considerably.
