About the series
In 2008, Marvel's top writer Brian Michael Bendis orchestrated a sprawling paranoia thriller across the entire Marvel Universe, with artist Leinil Francis Yu giving the saga a gritty, textured look. The eight-issue series revealed that the shape-shifting Skrulls had secretly replaced key heroes for years, turning old friends into potential enemies and shattering the trust at the heart of the superhero community. It stands as a landmark event of the late 2000s, redefining the stakes of Marvel's cosmic and espionage corners.
