Secret Invasion # 1 2023 VF/NM

Secret Invasion # 1 2023, written by Ryan North, is a spiritual sequel to the original 2008 event, where Nick Fury and Maria Hill must deal with a new, subtle Skrull infiltration that utilizes novel tactics to achieve their goal of taking over Earth. 

The issue begins with Nick Fury being lured to a house in rural Iowa where he is seemingly captured by the Skrulls, who assume his identity. The action then shifts to Maria Hill, now working with the CIA, as she investigates a potential Skrull threat. 

• Maria Hill's Plan: Hill detects a subtle hint of Skrull activity and, being highly prepared, activates a defensive plan.
• Fury the Impostor: A Skrull impersonating Nick Fury visits Maria Hill. Hill, suspicious of his behavior, uses a pre-arranged code or test to confirm he is an impostor, capturing him quickly.
• The Infiltration Revealed: The captured Skrull is one of many "Fury" impostors attempting to infiltrate high-level security locations across the globe.
• A New Threat: Maria Hill and her team realize the Skrulls are back with new, more sophisticated methods that Earth's old defenses are ill-equipped to handle, and the invasion is already underway.
• Avengers Alert: The issue ends with the revelation that the Skrulls may have already infiltrated the Avengers, leaving the reader with a renewed sense of paranoia, a key element of the Secret Invasion storyline. 

This comic series takes a more intimate, espionage-focused approach compared to the large-scale war of the 2008 event, focusing on the insidious nature of the infiltration and the challenge of knowing who to trust.
