Mighty Avengers #16 - Skrull-etra’s Big Reveal!
Step right up, folks, to Mighty Avengers #16 (September 2008)—the comic where the Secret Invasion kicks into high gear and Elektra pulls the ultimate “Guess who?” Written by the maestro Brian Michael Bendis, with art by Khoi Pham that’s sharper than a ninja’s sai, this issue is a paranoia-packed rollercoaster. It’s the moment the Mighty Avengers—and your fragile trust in superheroes—get a Skrull-sized wake-up call. Spoiler alert: Elektra’s been a shapeshifting alien this whole time, and the autopsy table’s got the receipts!
Highlights That’ll Make You Scream “Who Do You Trust?”
-
Elektra’s Skrull Shocker: The ninja queen gets sliced, diced, and revealed as a Skrull impostor. How long was she sipping green tea with the Avengers? Since New Avengers #31, baby—two years of alien espionage!
-
Key Character Chaos: Tony Stark’s sweating bullets, the Mighty Avengers (Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Wasp, and crew) are scrambling, and Nick Fury’s somewhere muttering, “I told you so.” Plus, a flashback shows how the Skrulls swapped Elektra like a bad eBay deal.
-
Tie-In Gold: This ain’t just a side dish—it’s a meaty Secret Invasion morsel. Ties directly into the main event (#4-5) and sets up the “Oh no, who’s next?” panic that defines 2008’s Marvel madness.
Current Value: Show Me the Money!
As of April 8, 2025, Mighty Avengers #16 in near-mint (NM 9.4) condition is chilling at $5-$8 on the secondary market. Not a bank-breaker, but a solid grab for Secret Invasion completists. First print run was decent (around 70k copies), so it’s not unicorn-rare, but that Skrull reveal keeps it spicy. Lower grades (VG 4.0) go for $2-$4—perfect for readers who don’t mind a little battle wear.
Expected Value Trends: Skrull Fever’s Rising!
Daredevil’s MCU resurgence and the Skrull-heavy Secret Invasion Disney+ buzz (even if it aired in 2023) keep this issue simmering. If Avengers: Secret Wars (May 2027) leans into shapeshifter shenanigans—or if Elektra pops up in a big way—expect NM copies to nudge $10-$15 by 2026. Long-term, it’s a sleeper hit; a Skrull-focused Marvel renaissance could push it to $20 by 2030. Worst case? It’s a steady $5-$8 cult classic for Bendis buffs.
Upcoming Events to Watch
-
Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7, 2027): If the MCU doubles down on Skrulls or Elektra (thanks, Charlie Cox and Born Again), this issue’s a nostalgia goldmine. Stock up now!
-
Comic-Con 2025: A Secret Invasion reunion panel with Bendis or Pham could spark a mini-surge. Signed copies might jump to $20-$25.
-
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 (Late 2025): Rumors of Elektra’s return (Skrull or not) could nudge this tie-in’s value up a buck or two.
