SYNOPSIS
With Jessica Drew still reeling from the effects of having been sedated
and physically replaced on Earth by the Skrull Queen Veranke, the last
thing in the world she wants to encounter is another Skrull invasion.
But when Jessica is approached by Abigail Brand, a mysterious agent of
S.W.O.R.D., she finds that the urge within herself to inflict vengeance
upon the Skrulls is too overwhelming to deny.
