Spoilers: Secret Invasion #8 - The White Queen Reigns?
Indeed, Secret Invasion #8 is available in stores tomorrow (December 4, 2008), but I was able to get a copy in my hands - err, virtual eyes - and scan the last images. SPOILERS for Secret Invasion #8! Click to read more if you wish to continue.
- Marvel Heroes/Villains apparently defeated the Skrulls.
- Janet Van Dyne, the Wasp, is dead. (I’m not sure how…wasn’t quite following that storyline.)
- The US Government fired Tony Stark (Iron Man). He is now removed from his position as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- S.H.I.E.L.D. is closing down.
- As the new President of the United States, Barack Obama, makes his first stupid decision: Norman Osborn is now the new Director of Thunderbolts and Fifty States Initiative (in other words, he’s the new “top dog” of the Marvel Universe.) Good bye, Tony Stark.
- At the end of the page, Norman Osborn makes an insidious grin. He, then, proceeds into a room occupied by the characters: Namor, Emma Frost, Doctor Doom, Enchantress (I’m sorry, I don’t recognize her!?), and The Hood.
…Not that it was much of a surprise that the Humans won, Iron Man was taken down a notch, Norman Osborn is the new top dog, and Emma Frost is now part of a conspiracy (perhaps). Basically, the spoilers were speculated correctly as usual.
Here’s a couple of scans:

So is Emma a bad guy again, the group’s moral conscious, or what? Whatever it is…I’m game for anything that’ll get her out of the crap that she’s in now! I can only imagine the conversation Emma and Scott will have the day either one of them finds out his/her “secret.” Scott has X-Force, and Emma has Dark Reign. *says “Ooooooh!” in such an unexcited tone*
But, seriously, Norman Osborn? *laughs*

That’s Loki. He’s a woman now.
I bet Namor and Emma hook up, considering they’re the only ‘good guys’ [if you can call them that] of the group. I’d bet my hat on it.
Ps - You forgot about all the replaced heroes being alive, and Mockingbird [the real one] was with them
@jedidotflow - How did Loki become a woman?
As much as I love Emma and Scott, Namor and Emma would be one interesting couple for sure. I can’t wait to see the dialogue between the two, considering they’re both snarky/elitist-type characters.
Can’t shake the feeling that they’re all sitting in a bar, angry that they’re drinks haven’t been served. Can’t wait for Maleev to take the reins on their story.
As for Ehms, this doesn’t really make her a bad guy. It just means that her connections when she was White Queen go farther than mutant stuff. She’s probably there more out of curiosity/boredom.
Loki became a woman when Thor restored Asgard. Ultron, Loki, Sinister, Bullseye, at this rate we’ll have a Rhino with boobs by next year.
SHE’S BORED! I LOVE IT!
Someone needs to photoshop some liquor onto the table.
Also, (where’d you see those scans Aim?)
isometimesdownloadcomics. Unfortunately, the Dark Reign #1 preview was not included! …Hopefully it’ll be out tomorrow.
Hah, Doom looks like he’s sick of being humiliated. Ems is techinically the only female on the team…She-Loki is still a he on the inside.
Emma is staring at She-Loki…and She-Loki and the Hood at Namor are staring at each other. And Doom at us. Nobody is paying attention to Norman. Hahahaha.
@Exoduscloak - They’re all pissed off because Norman couldn’t afford a bigger table.
@Shark - You got that right, but i dont understand what the hell is going on, though why is emma wearing her old costume?
Am I the only one irritated by Emma and Namor’s involvement in this Cabal. I can tell already by the disappointing ending of Secret Invasion that this storyline is gonna just be stupid. BTW this was Bush’s final decision as president, not Obama’s first lol.
“(On the bicker between Kitty and Emma in AXM #2) I kept pushing Joss to have the girls duke it out in a mud hole out back, but he doesn’t like the way I draw mud…”
