Secret Invasion

Nick Fury discovers that a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls is operating on Earth. Samuel L. Jackson returns to the role, with Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, in a story that puts intelligence work and uncertain loyalties ahead of assembling another team of Avengers.

Approach this as a Fury-centered espionage story. The interesting question is not simply who can win a fight, but what information a character is willing to trust. Watch the conversations as closely as the action: a familiar face does not settle the question of someone's intentions in a story about impersonation.

A focused starting point

Captain Marvel introduces the screen relationship between Fury, Talos and the Skrulls. It is a useful refresher before this series; the recommendation supplies context without changing the catalog's existing grades.

The series uses Fury and Talos as its point of connection to the broader MCU. It is a screen story in its own right, so a comics reading order is not a reliable guide to its reveals. Keep the uncertainty intact by avoiding character summaries that disclose identities or later developments.
