The wrap-up to Wade's Wacky Skrullmageddon Adventures, and it's a bit of a doozy. Heavy on exposition please.

Commentary:
This is yet again a solid book. And 3 times in roughly a month and a half is a fairly good showing if I may say so myself. But beyond that, this solid book goes somewhere here.
 

First bit though, my gripe regarding the internal monologues in Wade's head and how he sees things in a warped perception is slowly creeping to have been fixed. The issue opens with Wade talking to Nick Fury and there is a definite change between the art. Granted, it could backslide if Wade doesn't see everyone as babies, but for this issue, it works.

Now, the issue itself deals with the aftermath from the first two. Wade used his DNA to create Super-Skrulls which then destroyed all the other Super-Skrulls aboard the ship he was stationed on, and the lead scientist wants those Super-Skrullpools to kill Wade. That and the one ugly fire/ice Super-Skrull still left should lead to a big nasty fight.

It doesn't. Wade runs away from the fire/ice Super-Skrull for a little while until he can properly vanquish him and the Super-Skrullpools all but kill themselves. In the exposition heavy sequence, Wade reminds readers and the Skrull-scientist that his cells constantly regenerate to fight the cancer that he had. And since the Skrulls didn't replicate the cancer, those same Super-Skrullpools would have constantly regenerating cells but nothing to hold it in check.

In a word, splorch.

And while it's being serious, it knows it's being serious. And that's how I know this could be a great book. Way knows not to revel in the seriousness. Wade is dumb. He's a goofball. And after the serious tone of the few previous pages, he knows to sum it all up by breaking the fourth wall, giving us back the Wade we all know and love.

It's quite possibly the best tie-in to Secret Invasion so far. It works as a new way to re-invent a character and it allows said character to become something a little different and a little more advanced for the times. He's not perfect, and this book has a way to go before it will be deemed perfect, but it's awesome. It's fun. It makes you laugh.

And what more could you want?
