| - The full synopsis of this event is unknown.
- Invasion! involved extra-terrestrials from all over the entire universe joining together with the hopes of finally annihilating all humanity. Terrified of Earth's plentiful superhero population, they amassed an army comprised of every alien with a ray gun and a hard-on for revenge. The combat that ensued ravaged the entire planet, and obliterated the entire population of Australia, but thankfully, nobody died who was actually important. As a consequence, illegal aliens were banned from coming to Earth, and some parts of the United States.
- Invasion! is the first mission of World in Conflict.
- Invasion! is the sixth level of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
- Invasion! was set in 1999 (at the time some 22 years in the future) when the UK was invaded by a soviet-style force called the Volgans. The series was centred around one man, Bill Savage, who had lost his family to the invaders and was fighting back any way he could. It is debatable whether Disaster 1990 & Savage should be considered as part of the Invasion! series, but Barney, the unofficial 2000AD database, does.

Issues
| - The primary storyline was told throughout the eponymous miniseries Invasion! which consisted of three issues each of which were 80-Page Giants. This provides the backbone for the event with all of the important plot points, and can be read alone in its entirety to understand the story. The crossovers function as further insight into the story, providing a more detailed look at the actions of the individual characters and teams during the Crisis. Tie-in stories were divided into First Strike and Aftermath.

First Strike
Following the actual physical invasion that took place after the first issue, these stories strictly took place in between and , providing a look at how heroes around the world were dealing with the Alien Alliance individually and in small groups before they actually got organized. These are the stories that the event is primarily known for, featuring the actual war themselves. Most of them end with the cease-fire, and the super-hero summit.

Aftermath
These issues take place between and dealing with fallout from the main battle against the aliens. Although the heroes had recently made their victory, which appeared final at the time... they would still face the last ditch efforts of the Gene Bomb meant to completely decimate them. Aftermath tie-ins cleared up loose ends in the storyline before moving on to the conclusion of the event in the core issues. Interestingly, they still take place right after the technical middle of the story.
