Secret Invasion collects four Marvel Comics volumes tied to the 2008 crossover event written primarily by Brian Michael Bendis. The event revealed that the shape-shifting Skrull alien race had been systematically replacing prominent Marvel heroes with imposters for years, with the infiltration discovered only when the replacements made their move simultaneously. The revelation was designed to create retroactive uncertainty about events across Marvel’s recent publishing history.

The four collected volumes include the main Secret Invasion miniseries, the Home Invasion digital comic series, the Who Do You Trust companion anthology, and The Mighty Avengers Vol. 2, which covers the Avengers’ response to the crisis. Together they give a broad picture of the event from multiple perspectives across the Marvel Universe.

All four volumes are listed in the reading order table below. The event leads directly into the Dark Reign storyline and is part of the broader era of Marvel cosmic and Earth-bound storytelling that connects to Abnett’s concurrent cosmic work.
