VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Penciled by BILLY TAN Cover by ALEKSI BRICLOT
SECRET INVASION TIE-IN!
SPIDER-MAN VERSUS CAPTAIN AMERICA IN THE JUNGLES OF THE SAVAGE LAND! But who is who and what is what?? At least one of these people isn't who they say they are. Plus a huge chapter in the Secret Invasion story as more information as to how the Skrulls set their major plans in motion is revealed... Guest-starring Ka-Zar and Shanna and featuring spectacular artwork from rising star Billy Tan.
Available July 23rd, 2008
REVIEW by Brian Fisher

Marvel... why Billy Tan? When you alternate issues of New Avengers with Jimmy Cheung it just makes his stuff look way worse than it already is. And believe me, his stuff is already really, really bad. But I digress. The story, despite the awful artwork is excellent. I have to admit (and I better warn you that there's a SPOILER coming) that I was a little disappointed that the Captain America that came off the Skrull ship was, in fact a Skrull. I was hoping that they'd just retcon Cap's assassination out of continuity by bringing him back from Skrull homeworld after years of captivity. Oh well, here's to hoping they'll still use SI to retcon "One More Day" out of existance. I can dream, can't I?
I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams
