Intro
Since the announcement of James Robinson writing an
“all-new” Invaders series I’ve been pretty excited. Mainly because I loved the
dynamic relationship the Invaders had during the Captain America and Bucky
series. This team had a great relationship that still pulled through even on
the rough patches of death and many secrets. And I would love to see how this
team will get together again even though their lives have changed especially
with Namor in AVX. I’m also excited for James Robinson to be writing these
series, because he really became of my top favorite writers since he wrote the
first half of Earth 2 and I wonder what he will have up his sleeve for these
characters. I also recommend you pick up the last issue; it will definitely let
you know why the team has teamed up as of late.
Story
Captain America, Bucky and Jimmy Hammond finally team up to
fight Tanalth and discover long forgotten secrets.
The Good
This issue is still making the series at a very good start
as the secrets are revealed. It still shows how the team is and the
relationship is never forgotten. They still care for each other even after
everything and that’s why I love this team. We also get to find out more of the
dark deep secrets and why it was long forgotten. The action is pretty short but
still pretty good and drawn very well. The artist has a good use of the fire
looking beautiful and everything looks very solid in detail. The only problem
is that Captain America’s helmet looks a little weird on him.
The Bad
I think having another story digging in the past might be a
bother for some people. Because you might feel it will cause a continuity
error. But I think as far as I’m concerned this story won’t get in the way of
that and it does it in a good way. I think the destruction caused by Jimmy
might be rough for some as well. But it’s explained why it happens.
Verdict
I give this issue a 4.5/9.5 out of 5/10 stars. It’s a great
issue that brings the old team together in a new way, discovering new secrets
and repairing old relationships. It’s a good team that does well together. The
art is pretty good especially at the action scenes and it looks like it might
be looking good for a while. The story still manages not to make you feel lost
if you didn’t pick up the last issue and you will know why the team is here.
So, please pick this issue up and the last issue if you haven’t read it. You
will definitely love this series if you’re a fan favorite of the characters or
even if you’re new to them and you will like Robinson’s writing too.
