Suddenly, everyone's a Skrull

Well maybe not everyone, but certainly some. Now, the 31st issue of the current Avengers volume has come out, and lo and behold: Elektra turns out to be a Skrull.

This appears to be the explanation they've giving for why so many Marvel heroes have been acting out of character, because they've been replaced by Skrulls, or, because they've been brainwashed. No surprise if Captain America, Scarlet Witch and Iron Man turn out to be Skrulls as well.

Unfortunately, that's still no excuse for hijacking only so many books into a crossover crisis and depriving them of any real story development better achieved in a stand-alone story of their own. This whole crossover-itis of recent was uncalled for, and did nothing to improve any books that were already going wobbly under writers like J. Michael Straczynski and Brian Bendis, the latter who's interviewed in what I linked to.

And if the other Marvel heroes were abducted by the Skrulls and hidden elsewhere while the alien armada took their place, how do we know that Elektra won't turn out to be among them too?

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
