Reed über SECRET INVASION: SPIDER-MAN

Zitat:

"Secret Invasion: Spider-Man" begins shortly before the Skrulls' initial onslaught against Earth. "I had to start out before the Invasion so I could reintroduce all these new characters like Jackpot and police officer Vin O'Neil," Reed explained. "This is a chance for people who haven't been reading 'Amazing Spider-Man' or people who don't necessarily know all these secondary characters to get to know them. So I took a little time to introduce them and then I drop the Skrulls out of the sky and the action and adventure begins.

"I think I got everybody but Aunt May in the first issue," Reed said. "We've got Lilly Hollister, Carlie Cooper, Harry Osborn, Vin O'Neil, and the Coffee Bean cast. Dexter Bennett, Joe Robertson and Betty Brant are in there as well. I put in as much of the supporting cast as I could squeeze in."

"Secret Invasion: Spider-Man" is not, said Reed, a superhero story, although it is being told like one. Explained the writer, "This is the exact opposite of 'Secret Invasion: Frontline,' which is very grim and dire. In 'Frontline' when a Skrull is chasing you, you're a dead man, but in this series if a Skrull shows up you've got a chance to outrun it. 'Secret Invasion: Spider-Man' is more about the action, adventure and fun of a Spider-Man book."

Though tonally different, "Secret Invasion: Spider-Man" is structured similarly to Reed's "Frontline" series, with various characters' stories intersecting as they respond to the events of the Invasion. "In 'Frontline' each group of characters has a subplot and we explore who those characters are as people. Whereas in this series, all these characters just happen to be at the DB [the news source formerly known as The Daily Bugle]," Reed laughed. "We've got a fun sub plot where Harry Osborn and his girlfriend are out in the city separate from the rest of the cast. So we get to see these two pampered, rich people who've never done any real work dealing with the Skrulls and trying to survive."

Spider-Man man may be busy with the Avengers in "Secret Invasion," but as his name is in the title of this miniseries, Reed made sure to touch on some of "Amazing Spider-Man's" ongoing plot threads in the Secret Invasion tie-in. "The mayoral election shows up in there and a lot of little other stuff," Reed confirmed. "In fact, my last pass on the script was to make sure we we're hooking up to everything that we could hook up to."

Finally, Reed teased, "Spider-Man is in this series and I can tell you that in the first issue there is a revelation about his possible Skrullyness."
