Secret Invasion: Inhumans
Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 7:15 am
Is anyone else seeing a continuity problem with Secret Invasion: Inhumans?
Medusa's appearance in a panel of SECRET INVASION #6 suggests that SECINV:INH occurs at the same time as SECINV. SECINV:INH 1 starts out with Iron Man handing the dead Black Bolt Skrull over to Medusa. This scene must occur pretty shortly after the the identity of the Black Bolt Skrull is revealed to the Illuminati in NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMNATI v2 #5. Otherwise, you'd think that Medusa would be wondering whatever happened to her husband.
But could NA:I2 5 possibly occur just a day or so before the big invasion? Doesn't Xavier appear in NA:I2 5 before Messiah Complex? Doesn't Namor appear in NA:I2 5 before he hands himself over in ORDER2 6? Doesn't Reed appear in NA:I2 5 before he changes his costume (first seen in FF 554)? Doesn't Strange appear in A:I2 5 before he exiles himself in NA@ 2? Argh.
We could force a big gap in SECINV:INH 1 between, say, pages 13 and 14, but that would mean the Inhumans were waiting around for a while for the Skrulls to make a move. Also, I recall reading somewhere that the exposure of the Black Bolt Skrull forced the Skrulls' hand and led to the invasion launch.
Thoughts?
