Definitely reminds me of the Vision series in a positive way. There are a couple of intriguing storylines from the very beginning, indicating that there is much to be unraveled as the series progresses. Already looking forward to the next issue!

This was great! Felt like The Americans. Just hoping there will be more of this in the future.

Skrulls have always been problematic; like the "Indians" in cowboys and Indians games, or the stock Russian bad guy in cinema, the belief that a whole race of anybody is all bad is ultimately untenable. This has been whittled away at by Marvel over the years, first with the Prince in the Mask during the Avengers/FF crossover, and then with Super-Skrull's arc during Annihilation, and most recently with the individualized portrayals in the Captain Marvel movie. This predates that, and is an attempt to make the Skrulls relatable, and it works spectacularly well. The art is perfect for the apparent simplicity of the story, and there's heart and a lot of thought has been put into how Skrulls' identities work, when you are what they are, and when your society works like it does. Enjoyable.

This definitely could have used a few more issues to develop but, as far as throwaway concepts go, this mix of The Americans, Tom King's Vision, and other spy fare works pretty well. Sure, the story is too big for this format but it's told with a flair and the excellent art and good twists make it a worthwhile read. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more of these Skrulls in the future.
