Each week we highlight a classic storyline told in full inside Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, the greatest collection of Marvel comics available online! This week we travel to a dimension where the Skrulls have occupied Earth in EXILES: A WORLD APART!

Sound the Tanaak-War Beacon! The Skrull Empire must flee in the face of mighty Galactus! Planet Destroyer! Devour of Worlds! And it's up to those dimension hoppin' rascally EXILES to clean up the mess…

In EXILES: A WORLD APART, the Tallus transports our heroes to a grim dimension where Earth has been dominated by the Skrulls for over a century. The slimy shapeshifters use our beloved planet as a military base in their war with the Kree and have confined all super powered being to cages, forcing them to compete in gladiatorial combat for Skrull pleasure. Come one, come all! See the Thing battle Banner Beast!

A month has gone by for the imprisoned Exiles with no hope of freedom in sight. The Skrull technology is so advanced that the team can't figure out a way to penetrate their holding facilities and it's only a matter of time before someone's seriously wounded in a cage match.

But when Terrax the Tamer shows up as the Herald of Galactus, the Skrulls flee and the Exiles must organize the super powered prisoners into earth's mightiest heroes as an alterna-Avengers squad!

Writer Judd Winick and artist Mike McKone deliver the goods in this tragic tale that will change the lives of the Exiles forever! Check out more adventures of the Exiles on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited!
