10 Comics You Must Read Before Avengers: Infinity War

6. The Kree/Skrull War

Sal Buscema loves a good classic, so it's no surprise to see his name on The Kree/Skrull War, an Avengers storyline second only to Starlin and Perez's Infinity Gauntlet.

With Captain Marvel introducing the Skrulls in 2019, and with the Kree already an established presence in the MCU, the chances of a full-scale conflict breaking out certainly aren't unrealistic. If Secret Invasion - an Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style event where the Skrulls impersonated key figures in the Marvel Universe) - fails to manifest later down the line, then it stands to reason that Marvel have different designs on the license, in which case, The Kree/Skrull War asserts itself as a real contender for the next Avengers film.

The storyline, written by Roy Thomas and drawn by both Buscema brothers and Neal Adams, centred around (as you probably would've guessed), a war between the Skrulls and the Kree. The original Captain Marvel (Mar-Vel) was even involved, and the book was one of a kind in how it conveyed the sheer scale of the Marvel Universe. It also introduced the now iconic Scarlet Witch-Vision romance, which looks to be hotting up considerably in the next Avengers film, so it's seminal in a whole host of respects.

We may not know how many Avengers make it through to the end of Infinity War, but even if this other war doesn't make it to the big-screen eventually, it's definitely worth a read for its cosmic quality, of which it has in abundance.
