Secret Invasion Continues To Infiltrate & Sell Out Quickly!

The top-selling event of the year continues to steamroll over the competition as Marvel is proud to announce more Secret Invasion tie-in sell outs! Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #2, Ms Marvel #28, Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers #1, Mighty Avengers #15 and Avengers: The Initiative #14 have all sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level).

What can the Human Torch and the Thing do to save the FF? What secret does 3-D Man hold? What do the Skrulls want with Hulking and Xavin? All these answers and more have been revealed — but do you know the truth and who you can trust?

With quick sell outs of virtually all Secret Invasion tie-ins, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on future issues of Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four, Ms Marvel, Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers, Mighty Avengers and Avengers: The Initiative! There’s no comic event this year like Secret Invasion and as the story continues, the Marvel Universe finds itself altered irrevocably!

Infiltration Success: Secret Invasion Tie-Ins Sellout

April saw Secret Invasion begin its takeover of the Marvel Universe as the first issue was met with an almost instant sellout and was subsequently rushed back to press for a second printing. As the invasion spreads throughout other Marvel titles, the sellouts continue!

Secret Invasion tie-ins Mighty Avengers #12, New Avengers #40 and Ms. Marvel #26 have sold out at Diamond. Marvel has no plans on going back to press at this time.

These sellouts follow the success of the Secret Invasion: Infiltration issues Captain Marvel #3-5 and Ms. Marvel #25, which also racked up sellouts and a must-have collection of their own.

Skrulls Infiltrate Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four Variant

Secret Invasion has begun and the Skrulls have landed the first blow in their war on Earth! In the first issue of Secret Invasion, a Skrull Invisible Woman had the Baxter Building sucked into the Negative Zone and Mr. Fantastic was incapacitated in the most brutal of manners. In the 3-issue tie-in mini-series Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four, it’ll be up to the Thing and Human Torch to get the building and its inhabitants back home, including the young Franklin and Val. But are any of the heroes who they say they are?

Written by Roberto Aguirre- Sacasa (Marvel Knights 4, Sensational Spider-Man) with art by Barry Kitson (The Order), Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #1 will have a very Skrully-looking variant cover by Mike McKone, seen here for the first time. Plus, this series promises the return of a very familiar Skrull from the FF’s past who’s looking to exact revenge on the First Family of Comics.

The Fantastic Four are the Skrulls’ most hated enemies on Earth so don’t miss Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four for a very important battle in the war for Earth, as Secret Invasion kicks into high gear!
