So this was information I didn’t get from research because STILL nobody is talking about these two. I did an article on them but their PR is still nonexistent. Fix this, DC Comics! CARE ABOUT THE STUFF YOUR MAKING, NOT WHAT THE PARENT COMPANY IS IGNORING!

 

My Final Thoughts On The Kree/Skrull War

You can actually blame the Fantastic Four for the events of the Kree/Skrull War arc.

Both the warlike Kree and the shapeshifting Skrulls debuted in the pages of Fantastic Four, and have since become two-thirds of the biggest power brokers in Marvel space along with the Shi’Ar empire. (Whether the Shi’Ar are the nicer ones depends on who’s writing it, who’s sitting on the throne that Thursday, and what you consider positive about a group of conquerors just because one of the rotating leaders is playing mental footsie with Professor X. When he isn’t busy being dead.) Despite what the Captain Marvel movie may have told you, in the comics neither are the good guys. They both want to conquer Earth, and this story gives us the reason why.

Over at “Yesterday’s” Comic I’ve been reviewing the trade collection of “The Kree/Skrull War”. If you want my thoughts on the individual issues I’ll toss some links at you in a moment. This article is my overall thoughts on the event, which surprisingly was kept to the pages of The Avengers. The question is how important this arc is, whether it was worth collecting, and if it was any good as a story. The short version is I have…concerns.

Chapter By Chapter> TekWar chapters 26 & 27

Chapter By Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at a time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

In our last chapter our heroes made it to Warbride’s compound. Whether they’ll actually meet Warbride herself with all that security has yet to be seen.

At this point I’m giving up trying to come up with pre-review rambling, so sorry if this looks bad on the homepage for someone just dropping in, but we’re going to get right to the review.

Ah, this should boost some time. While reading chapter 26 events seem to flow at least into chapter 27. That’s what happens when you write an intro before reading the chapter. So it looks like I’m reviewing two chapters because I want to see where this goes.
