 The single deadliest Skrull in the empire is here on earth, and he's coming for Dorrek. Despite the fact that Dorrek has turned his back on his destiny like a spiteful child, his presence could put a stop to all of this. ... This is your home...this is my beloved's home, and now it is mine. I'll die to save it. Will you? 

—Xavin

Notes

• The Skrull language can be deciphered with the translations seen in Secret Invasion #5. The hidden dialogue in this series seems to exist mainly for the amusement of the scripter and/or letterer:
  • page 3 - Skrulls with green word balloons attacking Xavin: "why are your balloons white? douchebag!", "kiss my patootie!", "it's frank-en-steen."
  • page 5 - "wayyy too many tie-ins!"
  • page 8 - Skrull attacking Runaways before being pounced by Old Lace: "we're spinnin' the hits!", "don't cut me off, you--", "thug--?"
  • page 10 - Skrull before stopping Nico from casting: "watch them cast a spell on me...", before getting blasted by Chase's Fistigons: "listen! a fwoosh!"
  • page 11 - "bob lob law!"
