What's Coming After Marvel's Skrull Massacre?
Spider-Man's Aunt May not only hooked up with a shapeshifting alien Skrull pretending to be the Avengers' butler Jarvis — she's also pregnant with a half-Skrull baby! Or maybe not.

Relive Comics' Earlier Secret Invasion
It's an eight-issue crossover comic book series where a ton of superheroes discover that their friends, family - and even some of the heroes themselves - have been replaced by alien invaders with a sinister agenda.

The video, obviously meant to evoke Cloverfield and Blair Witch, tries to raise paranoia about just who amongst Marvel's superheroes has been replaced by shape-shifting aliens, but only leaves you hoping that our new alien overlords come with better production values and acting abilities. See the trailer that has fans saying "Just stick to making comics, Marvel. And try to make them better while you're at it," under the jump. More »
