Avengers

New Avengers by Bendis Omnibus Vol. 2 follows the rebel Avengers after Civil War, as the team works from the shadows while Skrull infiltration, the Hood's criminal army and Norman Osborn's rise push Marvel's 2000s event era forward.

Secret Invasion is the Marvel event that made paranoia the plot. Brian Michael Bendis spent years seeding Skrull replacements across the Avengers titles before the full infiltration exploded into a line-wide crossover. The premise — any hero could be a Skrull — destabilized reader trust in every character simultaneously. Collects the core Secret Invasion #1–8 limited series, plus key tie-in issues from New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, and the Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? one-shot.
