For years they have walked among us.  Planning.  Waiting.  Replacing us.  No one knew.  Until now.

After my custom spliced Emma Frost bind I truly realized how customizable binding really is.  A majority of the material before Secret Invasion #1 bridges gaps between my other binds and Secret Invasion…little did I realize how important some of them truly were.

This is not a complete mapping of every book from Secret Invasion.  Some are essential and others are just fun to read.
