If you have been reading Ed Brubaker's Captain America you know what I'm talking about. The New Avengers #43 introduces us to yet another wannabe Cap. But this one's a muthafuckin' Skrull.
Bendis has been doing a pretty bang up job in both Avengers titles with filling in some Secret Invasion blanks. As time goes on though, each one seems to move the story less further along. Here again, BMB stresses, the Skrulls will go to "any lengths" to conquer the superhero community and takeover the Earth. This means taking a dedicated Skrull volunteer and transforming him so convincingly into Captain America that even he doesn't know any different. The great part of this issue though is seeing a ship full of Skrulls posing as heroes crashing into the Savage Land. They all seem to be pretty oblivious to the fact that they have any kind of evil mission to accomplish. As far as they know they are just a group of honest, hardworking superheroes trying to make it home.
In the end not a bad story. Just a smaller piece to the overall puzzle.
But next month: The Real Secret of the Illuminati!
