Whoa, this was a pretty dark series I didn't expect.

The Skrulls invasion years ago was kind of a dud for me. All the build up and really only a very small handful of characters were actually them. They came to conquer but the heroes beat them...no consequences really...the end. But this story is more intimate. A story about a family of Skrulls who are secretly blending in with society. It's basically Americans the TV show mixed with the occasional superhero guy/gal.

This really surprised me. I love the inner thoughts of almost every character. Their motivations seem noble for what they are, but the way they go about it, it's kind of disgusting. The shocking revelations are all par for the course, and maybe a bit expected, but still exciting. I really dug the pacing as it always felt frantic after issue 2. The art was solid and gave a gloomy atmosphere feel.

Overall, Meet the Skrulls is what you need every once in awhile amongst the superhero companies. A deep look into family, themes of betrayal and honor, and lots of twist and turns. This is well worth the read. A 4 out of 5.
