Meet the Skrulls #4 // Review
Meet the Skrulls #4 opens with a battle scene and ends with a shooting. Every moment in between is a goldmine of compelling action and deepening character. As the second-to-last issue of this spectacular spy miniseries, this issue is packed with reveals, returns, and reversals.
