MARVEL'S SECRET INVASION: INFILTRATION

Marvel Comics on Tuesday announced that titles bearing the Secret Invasion: Infiltration banner provide "crucial" tie-ins to its 2008 event, Secret Invasion.

According to the publisher, the tie-ins will provide information about about the machinations of the shape-shifting Skrulls, the secret agents hiding in the Marvel Universe and how the heroes prepare for the battle.

The tie-ins begin on Nov. 7 with the release of New Avengers: Illuminati #5 and Avengers: The Initiative Annual #1.

In New Avengers: Illuminati #5, by Brian Bendis, Brian Reed and Jimmy Cheung, the Illuminati come together to discuss the shocking discovery in New Avengers #31 -- the Skrull body of Elektra! As this evidence of invasion is presented to the group, they must decide what this means to the future of Earth and who they can trust.

By the end of the issue, the Illuminati will never be the same again as a revelation will leave the team stunned.

In Avengers: The Initiative Annual #1, from writer Dan Slott and a line-up of artists including Salvador Larroca, Clayton Henry, Patrick Scherberger and cover artist Jimmy Cheung, secrets of the Initiative are revealed. As the hidden origins of MVP, Armory, Hardball and more are brought to light, readers will gain insight into the inner workings of Tony Starkšs bold new vision and possibly into the Skrull invasion.
